WASHINGTON POST
— Trump administration orders four Chinese news outlets in U.S. to reduce
staffs – Carol Morello (DIERSEN: GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails promote the Republican Central
Committee (RNC) platform and the Illinois Republican Party (IRP) platform, but
needless-to-say, GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails are not an “organ” of the
RNC, IRP, DuPage County Republican Central Committee (DCRCC), or Milton
Township Republican Organization (MTRO) and GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails are not
“propaganda” for the RNC, IRP, DCRCC, or MTRO. Neither the RNC, IRP,
DCRCC, nor MTRO a) pay me anything, b) help me put the emails together or send
them out, or c) encourage anyone to read the emails. I should write a book
about those who paint themselves as being operatives or as dupes for the RNC,
IRP, DCRCC, and/or MTRO who do everything that they can a) to stop me from
putting the emails together and sending them out and b) to stop everyone from
reading the emails.)
https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/trump-administration-orders-four-chinese-news-outlets-in-us-to-reduce-staffs/2020/03/02/b532fea6-5c9d-11ea-b29b-9db42f7803a7_story.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The
action comes on the heels of a State Department decision on Feb. 18 requiring
five Chinese news organizations considered organs of the government to register
as foreign missions and provide the names of employees. China responded by
expelling three Beijing-based Wall Street Journal reporters, condemning as
“racist” an essay that ran on the paper’s opinion page criticizing China’s
response to the coronavirus outbreak. Senior State Department officials said
the decision to cap the number of Chinese nationals working for the designated
“propaganda outlets” in the United States at 100 overall, down from 160,
reflected growing concern of a crackdown on press freedoms for both Chinese and
foreign journalists. “For years the government of the PRC has imposed
increasingly harsh surveillance, harassment and intimidation against American
and other foreign journalists in China,” said one official, speaking on the condition
of anonymity under State Department rules and using the acronym for the
People’s Republic of China. “President Trump has made clear that Beijing’s
restrictions on foreign journalists are misguided. He’s also made clear that
the U.S. will establish long overdue reciprocity in our relations with China.”)
