China warns of reciprocal countermeasures after US shortens foreign journalist visas

China has issued a stern warning, hinting at reciprocal measures in response to the Trump administration's decision to drastically cut the visa duration for foreign journalists from a multi-year term to just 240 days. This move is seen as part of a broader trend of escalating tensions between the U.S. and China, particularly concerning media freedom and press relations. Such a reduction not only impacts journalists' ability to cover stories but also signals a chilling effect on international media operations in the U.S., potentially straining diplomatic relations further.
