CHINA-US: REACTION TO THREAT BY GLOBAL TIMES
|
Ms Dianne Feinstein, the influential US Senator from California, asked the Global Times to retract its editorial of June 20, 2017, which threatened the University of California San Diego and Chancellor Pradeep Khosla. In a statement, Senator Feinstein said, “I find it unconscionable that a reporter for the Global Times, a mouthpiece of the Chinese Communist Party, would threaten UC San Diego and its chancellor and students for inviting the Dalai Lama to speak. The newspaper should immediately apologize and retract the article that not only threatens to withhold visas from Chancellor Pradeep Khosla but also suggests the university would be punished by withholding students.”
