China Expels Wall Street Journal Reporter After Article on Xi's Cousin

China has effectively expelled a reporter working for The Wall Street Journal after he wrote an article about the cousin of the country's top leader, Xi Jinping, in the latest sign of a government clampdown on media freedom.

The Chinese authorities declined to renew the press credentials of Chun Han Wong, a reporter in Beijing for The Journal, a spokesman from Dow Jones, the parent company of the newspaper, said in an emailed statement on Friday.

Too bad the United States no longer has the moral authority to push back against attacks on press freedom.

That's OK, there are a lot of posts here defending the 1st amendment. I assume you'll get some positive posts here in addition to the posts in threads defending the free speech of white supremacists.
