US and China trade journalist expulsions days after Trump visits Xi in Beijing
The move deepens a press-freedom dispute as China has sharply limited long-term visas for American journalists and the Times says its coverage is being punished.
- China ordered The New York Times reporter Vivian Wang to leave the country, prompting the Trump administration to revoke the visa of a Chinese state media journalist in a diplomatic tit-for-tat.
- Beijing officials targeted Wang after Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te appeared at a Times DealBook summit in December, an event that featured an interview with the self-governing island's leader.
- Times executive editor Joseph Kahn denounced the expulsion, noting the number of U.S. correspondents in China has fallen to an alarmingly low level; previously, 160 Chinese journalists reported from the U.S.
- Previous mass expulsions occurred in 2020, when the U.S. designated Chinese news outlets as "foreign missions," reflecting long-running tensions between the two nations.
- The expulsions coincide with heightened friction over Taiwan, where Chinese President Xi Jinping recently warned that the U.S. and China could "collide or even clash" if the issue is not handled properly.
