China, the US agrees to facilitate journalist restrictions

Beijing: China and the United States will alleviate restrictions on access to journalists from their respective countries, China’s official Daily reported on Tuesday Tuesday, quoting the sources of the Chinese foreign ministry who were not named.
The consensus on the journalist’s visa, among other points, was achieved before the virtual summit between China’s President XI Jinping and US colleague Joe Biden on Tuesday, the newspaper said.
Tensions between the top two world economies about problems ranging from technology and trade to human rights and Coronavirus, spilled into the media sector last year.
Beijing accused the Washington of “political crackdown” in Chinese journalists after cutting the number of Chinese citizens who were allowed to work in US air offices owned by the main Chinese state and limit their official stay of up to 90 days, with options to extend.
In the Tit-for-Tat line, China then expelled US journalists in several American newspapers and introduced restrictions on new visas in several US media companies.
Under the consensus was reached, the United States will publish a one-year-entry entry visa to Chinese journalists, said China Daily, added that the Chinese had committed to giving the same treatment to US journalists after the US policy began to apply.
The two countries will publish visas to journalists under applicable laws and regulations, he said, adding that journalists will be able to depart and return freely with strict compliance with the Covid-19 protocol.
The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not immediately respond to a request for a comment.
In their video calling for more than three hours, Biden pressed XI about human rights, while China’s President warned that Beijing would respond to provocation in Taiwan, according to an official exchange account.
