Under a change that could be implemented as soon as September, foreign journalists would be limited to stays of just 240 days, or around eight months, but could apply for extensions of similar duration.
Chinese nationals would get just 90 days, with extensions of 90 days, under the rules proposed by Washington’s Department of Homeland Security.
