Two Wall Street Journal reporters left China on Monday after being expelled over a controversial headline in an op-ed that angered Beijing. Three reporters were ordered out of the country last week over what Beijing deemed a racist headline that the journalists were not involved in writing — marking one of the harshest moves against foreign media in years. The Journal opinion piece — headlined “China is the Real Sick Man of Asia” — was written by a US professor who criticised the Chinese government’s initial response to the coronavirus outbreak.
