CBS News Anchor Blocked from Taiwan Hotel Coverage During Trump-Xi Summit
CBS News anchor Tony Dokoupil was barred from broadcasting from his Taiwan hotel after management objected to political coverage, forcing him to report from Taipei’s Liberty Square; a later segment referenced a medical emergency as a veteran cameraman fainted. The trip followed CBS failing to secure a China visa for Dokoupil, leaving the network scrambling to cover the Trump-Xi summit while rivals were already on the ground in Beijing.
