The Foreign Ministry says the responsibility for the China-U.S. media issue lies with the U.S. side

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said at the regular press conference on June 3 that the responsibility for media issues between China and the United States lies with the U.S. side. She said that under the three points of consensus reached by both sides, China has fully implemented them and has provided conveniences such as visas for American journalists to come to China for interviews. Mao Ning also pointed out that the normal interviewing rights of Chinese journalists in the United States are still severely restricted. She said that on the one hand, the U.S. side emphasizes "freedom of speech," but on the other hand, it labels Chinese media in the United States with political tags such as "foreign agents" and "foreign missions." Mao Ning called on the U.S. side to implement the consensus reached by both sides through concrete actions and to safeguard the lawful rights and interests of Chinese journalists in the United States to work and live normally.
