    Chinese Propaganda

    An English-language newspaper controlled by the Chinese Communist Party's propaganda department paid U.S. media companies nearly $2 million for printing and advertising expenses over the past six months, even amid heightened scrutiny over Beijing's disinformation efforts in the West.

    China Daily paid The Wall Street Journal more than $85,000 and the Los Angeles Times $340,000 for advertising campaigns between May and October 2020, according to a disclosure that the propaganda mill filed this week with the Justice Department under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).

    China Daily also paid Foreign Policy magazine $100,000, The Financial Times, a U.K.-based newspaper, $223,710, and $132,046 to the Canadian outlet Globe & Mail for advertising campaigns, according to the filing.

    The Beijing-based outlet paid several newspaper companies a total of $1,154,666 for printing costs, including $110,000 to the Los Angeles Times, $92,000 to The Houston Chronicle and $76,000 to The Boston Globe.

    Overall, China Daily spent more than $4.4 million on printing, distribution, advertising and administration expenses over the past six months, according to the FARA filing.

    China Daily, which is controlled by the Chinese Communist Party's State Council Information Office, its propaganda agency, has for years paid newspapers and magazines in the U.S. and other Western countries to publish advertorials designed to look like legitimate news articles.

    The North Koreans did the same here in Norway in the 1970s, they had a full page ad in one of the main newspapers all the time. People learned to ignore their stuff. The newspaper was happy as long as they paid good money for it.

    There need to be laws against this foreign interference. Taiwan was heavily barraged by Chinese disinformation and passed laws against this sort of stuff. Democrats, however, may object (despite them being unhappy about Russia helping Trump.) It's odd how the D's hate Russia but love China.

    Because the dems associated Trump with Russia and falsely tried to tie him to them and they KNOW Biden is associated with China. It's in their best interest to 'love' China.
