Chun Han Wong, a Singapore national, had been based in Beijing, where he had reported on politics in China since 2014. His visa expired on Friday.
“We can confirm that Chinese authorities have declined to renew Chun Han’s press credentials,” a Dow Jones spokesman said in an email. “We continue to look into the matter.”
The Foreign Ministry, which accredits foreign reporters, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Singapore’s embassy in Beijing did not reply to emailed questions about Wong’s case.
Foreigners are not allowed to work as journalists in China without official credentials, which are required to obtain a residence visa.
A person with direct knowledge of the situation said foreign ministry officials had voiced their displeasure to the Journal about a story published on July 30 that Wong and another reporter, Philip Wen, had written.
