American diplomats working in mainland China and Hong Kong as well as local employees might be given notice as early as Friday in a round of downsizing that the media outlet described as unprecedented.
The cuts would affect the embassy in Beijing and the consulates in Guangzhou, Shanghai, Shenyang and Wuhan, as well as the consulate in Hong Kong, the South China Morning Post said.
It was not clear whether any of those affected would be reassigned elsewhere in the diplomatic service, but layoffs are expected, it added.
President Donald Trump's administration has asked U.S. embassies worldwide to prepare for staff cuts, sources told Reuters last week, as part of the Republican president's effort to overhaul the U.S. diplomatic corps. Trump and his billionaire ally Elon Musk have been making efforts to cut U.S. government spending that they consider wasteful since Trump took office on January 20.
