The Trump administration is considering a sweeping ban on travel to the United States by members of the Chinese Communist Party and their families, according to people familiar with the proposal, a move that would almost certainly prompt retaliation against Americans seeking to enter or remain in China and exacerbate tensions between the two nations.

The presidential proclamation, still in draft form, could also authorize the United States government to revoke the visas of party members and their families who are already in the country, leading to their expulsion. Some proposed language is also aimed at limiting travel to the United States by members of the People’s Liberation Army and executives at state-owned enterprises, though many of them are likely to also be party members.

I remember last week or so, when China banned several prominant American politicians.

I understand for most matters, the NY Slimes is about as informative, as listening to static, on an old radio.

I get that.

Occassionally however they seem to get a good story. This may be one of those.

Why not all Chinese? Revoke all work, student, and tourist visas. Send them all home!

Amen to that. Their ‘’students’’ are nothing but spies, everyone of them.

Who in China is NOT a member of the Communist Party? Certainly anyone ho has money to travel to the US, or study in the US are members of the Communist Party.

Yes, but it is nearly perfect counter-pressure on China for its own recent moves against American politicians (Republicans) and ups the pressure on China considerably.

Good next step, Mr. President.

Yep. I was very naive. I once worked with a woman from China. She told me how hard it was to leave and how many years it took, and the paperwork. WTH? If we want to travel, we just go buy a plane ticket and we're gone.

Don’t weigh, do it. We know they’re all a bunch of spies and thieves, hundreds of thousands(?) of them. What’s to weigh?

Lol. First they create the perfect weapon with us funded “research”, easing some of their financial obligations to their own citixens.
Then they wait for the worlwidexty tyranny, while building up cash... then they test the waters by border wars.
But who will make those iphones for Christmas if we dont comply.

Communists should be shunned, and brought to justice for the evil they have done - just like anyone else.

The Chinese Communist Party has just done so much more evil than almost anyone else.

They are today, what the Nazi Party was in their day - the World leaders in organized evildoing.

Let’s treat them accordingly.

They’ve raped all of those assets of any intellectual knowledge already. All that remains are some physical assets that the government already own part of by law.
