A sternly worded White House statement excoriated Beijing for the demands, which it termed « Orwellian nonsense. »
« President Donald J. Trump ran against political correctness in the United States, » it said. « He will stand up for Americans resisting efforts by the Chinese Communist Party to impose Chinese political correctness on American companies and citizens. »
The statement added that the Chinese Civil Aviation Administration sent a notice to 36 foreign air carriers, including a number of American carriers, on April 25, asking them to comply with Beijing’s standards.
