「双语」例行记者会/RegularPressConference（2021-5-11）(27)

针对美方无理打压，中方被迫作出必要正当合理回应。但是,我们至今没有对美方无差别将所有中国驻美记者签证缩短至不超过90天采取反制措施。即便在疫情期间，我们也是想方设法帮助部分滞留国外的美国媒体记者及家属回到中国。即便是在美方迟迟不予中方驻美记者延期签证的情况下，我们依然为包括美媒在内的所有外国驻华记者工作生活提供支持和协助，他们在华采访报道未受到任何影响。事实上，在签证问题上，近500名外国记者在华记者证有效期绝大多数都是一年。这个事实是非常清楚的，希望有关媒体记者人士都能够客观理性看待。
China has no other choice but to make necessary and legitimate responses to the wanton US suppression. We exercised the utmost restraint and has not yet retaliated against the US measure to slash Chinese journalists" visa stay to a maximum of 90 days. After the outbreak of COVID-19, we did what we could to overcome difficulties and help China-based American journalists and their families stranded overseas to return to China. Even though the US refuses to grant Chinese journalists visa extension, we still offer support and assistance to American journalists working in China like all foreign journalists. Their reporting here has not been affected at all. On the visa issue, the overwhelming majority of the nearly 500 foreign journalists in China hold press cards with a validity period of one year. The facts are crystal clear and I hope relevant journalists can all look at this rationally.
