针对美国政府对中国媒体的歧视和政治打压，外交部发言人赵立坚在7月1日的外交部例行记者会上表示：中方将反制。

赵立坚表示：“6月22日，美方再次宣布将中央电视台（CCTV）、《人民日报》、《环球时报》和中国新闻社4家中国媒体增加列管为‘外国使团’作为对美方上述行动的反制，中方宣布，要求美国联合通讯社（AP）、美国国际合众社（UPI）、美国哥伦比亚广播公司（CBS）、美国全国公共广播电台（NPR），自即日起7日内向中方申报在中国境内所有工作人员、财务、经营、所拥有不动产信息等书面材料。”

“On June 22, the US issued a new determination to designate four additional Chinese media agencies, namely, China Central Television, the People's Daily, the Global Times and China News Service, as foreign missions. China demands in retaliation that the Associated Press, United Press International, Columbia Broadcasting System, and National Public Radio declare in written form information about their staff, finance, operation and real estate in China within seven days starting from today.”

“需要指出的是，中方上述措施完全是对美方无理打压中国媒体驻美机构被迫进行的必要对等反制，完全是正当防卫。美方有关做法是基于冷战思维和意识形态偏见，严重损害中国媒体的声誉和形象，严重影响中国媒体在美正常运作，严重干扰中美正常人文交流，暴露其自我标榜的所谓’新闻自由‘的虚伪性。中方敦促美方立即改弦更张、纠正错误，停止对中国媒体的政治打压和无理限制。”

“I need to point out that the above-mentioned measures are entirely necessary and reciprocal countermeasures that China is compelled to take in response to the unreasonable oppression the Chinese media organizations experience in the US. They are legitimate and justified self-defense in every sense. What the US has done is driven by a Cold War mentality and ideological bias. It has seriously tarnished the reputation and image of Chinese media organizations, seriously affected their normal operation in the US, and seriously disrupted people-to-people and cultural exchanges between the two countries. It has therefore exposed the hypocrisy of the self-styled advocate of press freedom. China urges the US to immediately change course, undo the damage, and stop its political oppression and arbitrary restrictions on Chinese media organizations.”
