China to Expel U.S. Journalists in Retaliation for Trump-Imposed Restrictions
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Chinese government has announced it will expel American journalists
working for The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and The
Washington Post. The Chinese government also demanded outlets like Time
magazine to provide detailed information of their reporting in the
country. This comes as the Trump administration last month limited the
number of Chinese citizens allowed to work in U.S.-based Chinese outlets
to 100 and announced that five state-run Chinese news organizations
would be regulated as "Chinese government functionaries."
