Authorities hand picked 15 media outlets to cover the raid while foreign outlets, including the Associate Press, were barred from covering the story.
The raiding of Next Digital HQ marks a long line of nefarious behavior on the part of the Chinese government.
Just last week, officials in the Chinese city of Rugao raided China-based Saleen Automotive, seizing intellectual property and arresting personnel.
It remains to be seen how the Trump Administration will respond to the raid with tensions already increasing over a potential TikTok ban and sanctions.
