China has revoked the press credentials of three Wall Street Journal reporters over a headline it deemed racist.
The foreign ministry said it took the decision after the newspaper declined to apologise or investigate those responsible for it.
It added that the column, which called China the "real sick man of Asia", denigrated its efforts to combat the coronavirus epidemic.
China said the journalists have been asked to leave in five days.
