More than 100 Chinese journalists and news media employees have been affected. China’s recent freezing of press card renewals has affected citizens from a number of countries working for American news organizations. The journalists and their news organizations declined to comment or did not reply to emails asking for comment. There are American news organizations that have not been affected by China’s new limits yet because their journalists’ press cards have not come up for renewal. This is the case with the one New York Times foreign correspondent, an American, who remains in mainland China.
