The U.S. government tightened visa rules for Chinese journalists on Friday in the latest retaliatory measure in an ongoing spat between the two countries over media access.
The regulation will limit visas for Chinese journalists to a 90-day period, while allowing them to apply for extensions, according to a statement from the Department of Homeland Security. Previously, the reporters were permitted to stay for an indefinite period.
