China orders American media outlets to give staff details after US move

China has asked four US media organisations to submit details about their operations in the country, the foreign ministry said on Wednesday in what it described as retaliation for US measures against Chinese media outlets.

The Associated Press, UPI, CBS, and National Public Radio are required to provide information about their staff, financial operations and real estate in China within seven days, foreign ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian (above) told a daily news briefing.
