State Owned China Daily Spends US$2M in 6 Months to Promote US-China Relations
Latest filings to the US show the Chinese owned media China Daily spent over US$2.4 million, including US$881k advertisement fees to 17 publications and media outlets in six months. Amongst them are LA Times and Wall Street Journal in the US, Globe and Mail in Canada and Financial Times in the UK. The money was spent on editorials that promote a pro-China agenda locally.
The US’s Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) requires all individual and organizational delegates of foreign governments to regularly disclose their activities and financial arrangements within the US. China Daily submitted its statement of records from May to October this year to the US Department of Justice last week, which shows that the media has paid LA Times US$340k of advertisement fees and US$110k of printing fees to carry out advertising and promotional activities.
