How the US could enforce a ban on 92 million members is unclear China says any US travel ban on members of its Communist Party would be "pathetic", in the latest sharp exchange amid souring bilateral ties. The New York Times had earlier reported the Trump government was considering the move, although it is still in draft form and could be rejected. The Chinese Communist Party has 92 million members and how a ban would be enforced is uncertain.
Main Idea: China called a reported US plan to ban Communist Party members from traveling there “pathetic” as tensions between the two countries grew.
Key Points:
A US ban on Communist Party members could trigger retaliation from China, raising risks for travelers, workers, and firms tied to trade.
The move could be hard to enforce and may have little direct effect on most Americans.
