After the List of Foreign Missions to Chinese Media, Beijing Requires 6 US Media in China to Declare Personnel and Financial Records
Mike Pompeo, the US Secretary of State, recently indicated that the State Department listed another 6 Chinese media organizations as foreign missions. The list included “One Fortune Global”, “Liberation Daily”, “Xinmin Evening News”, “Economic Daily”, “Beijing Weekly”, and China Social Sciences in China Press. Zhao Lijian, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in China, announced the adoption of reciprocal countermeasures today (26th October). The countermeasures required six US media branches in China to declare to the Chinese party all the personnel information, financial affairs, operations, real estate information, and other written material to China within a week.
These media are the American Broadcasting Company (ABC), Los Angeles Times, Minnesota Public Radio, the Bureau of National Affairs, Newsweek and Feature Story News.
Zhao said that the measures above are necessary and reciprocal as the US carried out unreasonably suppression on Chinese media agencies in the US. He added that these measures are completely legitimate and reasonable defence. He also stated that the relevant US practices specifically targeted the Chinese media and were based on Cold War mentality and ideological prejudice. They have seriously damaged the reputation and image of the Chinese media agencies, seriously affected the regular operation of the Chinese media in the US, and seriously interfered with the typical cultural exchanges between China and the US, “The hypocrisy of “freedom of the press”.
Zhao urged the US to immediately stop the political suppression as well as the unreasonable limitations to Chinese media, and emphasized that if the US insists on going its own way and add mistakes to mistakes, China will definitely take further countermeasures.

China escalating its propaganda strategies, expanding efforts in spreading misinformation and censoring negative news
The latest issue of Newsweek reported over 600 organisations with ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), are participating in infiltration and polarisation in the US. In May, an official from the US Department of State said that Chinese propaganda strategies have escalated, by amplifying disinformation from Russia to attribute the COVID-19 pandemic to the US. China is expanding its influences by censoring negative comments and spreading positive ones to unite its people, while threatening to take economic and diplomatic actions to other countries, stated Atlantic magazine.
Analysts and officials from the Department of State suggested that, China is imitating the spread and amplifying misinformation from Russia, in order to put US to blame for the COVID-19 pandemic. "Beijing is pursuing a comprehensive and coordinated influence campaign to advance its interests and undermine the United States. The CCP is employing a whole-of-government approach, using political, economic, military, and information tools to advance its influence", stated Lea Gabrielle, Special Envoy and Coordinator of the Global Engagement Center at the U.S. Department of State.
She also mentioned social media accounts associated with the Chinese government, fabricating and spreading disinformation about the pandemic or simply false information. By questioning US subsidised-laboratories from the former USSR, China is spinning away the attention from its own laboratory at Wuhan, while other related accounts sculpting China as a model for others to follow in combating the virus.
China’s spread of disinformation is not limited to social media, but also state-subsidised international media such as China Daily, Global Times, and China Global Television Network (CGTN). The official stated that Beijing aims to propagate the idea that Chinese government is leading the world in fighting the pandemic, while the West is incapable of protecting their citizens or helping other countries.

China-US Relations: Newsweek Compares Hundreds of Chinese Communist Party Documents with Official Media Reports to Reveal the Party's Espionage Activities in the US
The latest issue of Newsweek reported that at least 600 organisations affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) have engaged in united front work to infiltrate and create division in the United States, with ambitions that went beyond influencing the election. Newsweek claimed that it has reviewed the names of the members of these organisations, hundreds of CCP documents and reports by Chinese state media to expose the organisations’ covert interference and influence in the United States.
Newsweek probed into the 600 organisations in question by examining their memberships, regular joint activities and high-level meeting information accessible only to trusted members of CCP, as well as hundreds of government documents, CCP documents, state media reports, and the organisations' own releases, to learn that the organisations' interference ranged from promoting a positive view of China to outright espionage.
