反观美方，美方出于冷战思维和意识形态偏见，不断升级对中国媒体的政治打压和无理设限。美方长期以来对中国记者入境签证采取歧视性政策，给予其他国家和地区记者多次入境签证，但仅允许中国驻美记者单次入境，导致中方记者往往由于回国探亲就无法再回到美国。2018年以来，就有30多名中方记者的签证申请遭到美方无限期拖延甚至拒签，且中方记者在申请赴美签证时被要求提供很多额外材料。2018年12月，美方要求有关中国媒体驻美机构注册为“外国代理人”。2020年2月，美方将5家中国媒体驻美机构列为“外国使团”，随即又对上述5家媒体驻美机构采取人数限制措施，变相“驱逐”60名中方媒体记者。现在美方又进一步升级对中国媒体的歧视性措施，将中国驻美记者签证停留期限限制在90天以内，这将严重干扰中方媒体在美开展正常报道活动，我们对此表示强烈不满和坚决反对。

For a while, the US, entrenched in the Cold War mentality and ideological bias, launched one round of suppression after another against Chinese media. The US has long been carrying out discriminatory policies on the Chinese journalists' visas. Journalists of other countries and regions can get multiple-entry visas while Chinese reporters can only get single-entry ones, which obstructs them from returning to the US after visiting their families back in China. Since 2018, the US has indefinitely delayed approval and even denied application of visa for 30 US-based Chinese journalists. When applying for visas, our reporters have to provide a lot of additional materials. In December 2018, it demanded a Chinese media organization's US office to register as "foreign agent". In February 2020, the US designated five Chinese media organizations in the US as "foreign missions" and then placed a cap on the number of their staff, in effect expelling 60 Chinese journalists. Now it is resorting to discriminatory restrictive visa measures, severely disrupting Chinese media's normal reporting in the US and affecting bilateral people-to-people and cultural exchange. We deplore and oppose that.

我要再次强调的是，中国坚持对外开放的基本国策没有改变，也不会改变，我们始终欢迎各国媒体和记者依法依规在中国从事采访报道工作，并将继续提供便利和协助。我们反对的是针对中国的意识形态偏见，反对的是借所谓新闻自由炮制假新闻，反对的是违反新闻职业道德的行为。

Let me stress this once again China's fundamental state policy of opening-up is and will remain unchanged; we welcome foreign media and journalists reporting in China, and we will continue providing them with convenience and assistance. What we oppose is ideological bias towards China, fake news in the name of press freedom, and violation of professional ethics.
