In any case, any American familiar with our form of government would
be apt to agree. We're a Republic. We've never espoused to be a
"true" democracy (except perhaps at the town level.)

But somebody here is a critic of China for not beeing a democracy.

Yes, and you may or may not have noticed that said critic was posting from
a .ca (Canadian) address. That does not necessarily mean the critic is
Canadian, of course. In either case, many undereducated Americans call
their government a "democracy" as well.

Press not supportive of the govermental actions of USA doesn't get
a pass to the stock exchange. If that is not sanction, what is?

Huh? What are you talking about?

The government doesn't control the "stock exchange" (besides, which
one are you referring to, we have a number of them you know.)

And you can find a newspaper that will cover any subject you want
from any point of view you want.

So tell me how this is not a sanction?

There is no evidence the NYSE's action was caused by governmental sanction.
The NYSE is a private organization and has the right to deny accreditation
to any news organization they choose.
