China says Wall Street Journal's behavior is unprofessional

Wall Street Journal's decision to publish an article with a racist title to maliciously attack China violated professional ethics of a media organization, said Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Geng Shuang in an online press conference on Thursday.

Geng made the remarks after U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that China's decision to revoke three Wall Street Journal correspondents' credentials has restricted freedom of speech.

Geng added that the Wall Street Journal's unprofessional action has angered the Chinese people and is condemned globally.
