    | Under the Trump administration, the US made significant efforts to
    | limit Chinese state media's presence on its soil.
    |
    | It designated five Chinese state media, including Xinhua and CGTN,
    | foreign agents, slashing the number of staff they could have and
    | making it mandatory for them to register their full employee roster
    | with the government. It went on to impose limits on Chinese
    | nationals' use of journalist visas if they weren't working for US
    | news outlets.
    |
    | The moves, a response to concerns over Chinese spying and
    | propaganda, came as US-China ties worsened early in the pandemic.
    | Beijing responded by expelling American journalists.

    Does Donald Trump regret entrusting his legislative legacy to Mitch
    McConnell and Paul Ryan?
