China is pushing US news people out of China. This is the presidents response.

"Effective March 13, Washington will cap the number of U.S.-based employees at Xinhua News Agency, China Global Television Network, China Radio International, and China Daily Distribution Corp. at 100, a reduction from the current 160.

They are among the five Chinese state-run outlets designated by the U.S. State Department as “foreign missions” in February. No action was taken against the fifth company, Hai Tian Development USA, which is the U.S. distributor of the Chinese Communist Party mouthpiece People’s Daily. This designation means that staff are treated as foreign government employees, rather than journalists. The staffing cap is a direct result of that designation.

The five outlets are “explicit propaganda organs of the Chinese Communist Party,” one administration official said, noting that even after the cap takes effect, those outlets alone will still have more Chinese personnel in the United States than there are foreign reporters from all U.S. media companies in China."
