China ordered more American news outlets to declare their finances and staff, in the latest tit-for-tat exchange with the U.S. over media access to each other’s countries.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said Wednesday that China was asking four organizations including the Associated Press and National Public Radio to disclose staffing, finances and real estate holdings within seven days. The move, which also affected CBS and United Press International, follows similar action in March against Voice of America and Time Magazine.
