- The US will cap visas for foreign journalists at 240 days and for mainland Chinese journalists at 90 days under Homeland Security rules due Friday.
- The shorter Chinese term revives restrictions Donald Trump proposed at the end of his first term and that Joe Biden later scrapped.
- The move raises the risk of renewed tit-for-tat curbs with China, where media access has long been a flashpoint in bilateral relations.
