"In order to ensure greater transparency of the operations of the Chinese Communist Party in the United States, I have instructed to declare four PRC propaganda media as foreign representations," he said.

As specified in the State Department, we are talking about such publications as China Central Television, China News Service, The People's Daily and Global Times.

In early March, the United States decided to introduce a limit on the number of Chinese citizens in the US missions of the five state-owned media in China.

This happened after the Chinese authorities revoked the accreditation of three journalists from The Wall Street Journal. The reason, according to the newspaper, was the publication of the article "China - a real sick Asia."

Pompeo, commenting on this situation, said that Washington is considering a "wide range of actions" that can be taken.
