| Subject: White House calls China's warning to airlines 'Orwellian nonsense' Sun May 06, 2018 10:03 pm | |
| The White House is publicly admonishing China for warning foreign airlines to change how they identify Taiwan and other areas on their websites.
More than 30 airlines — including some US carriers — were recently told by the Civil Aviation Administration of China to remove any information suggesting Taiwan, Hong Kong or Macau are not part of China. "This is Orwellian nonsense," White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement Saturday. "We call on China to stop threatening and coercing American carriers and citizens." She called the effort "part of a growing trend by the Chinese Communist Party to impose its political views on American citizens and private companies."
