According to documents submitted by the U.S. Department of Justice, Chinese state-run media, China Daily, paid American newspapers and media nearly 19 million USD for advertising and printing expenses over the past four years.

Daily Caller, an American news and commentary website, reported the findings on June 8, posting “China Daily, an English-language newspaper controlled by the Chinese Communist Party, has paid more than $4.6 million to The Washington Post and nearly $6 million to The Wall Street Journal since November 2016.”

Both newspapers published paid supplements that China Daily produces called “China Watch.” The inserts are designed to look like news articles, but they often contain a pro-Beijing spin on contemporary news events.

China Daily also paid for advertising in several other newspapers: The New York Times ($50,000), Foreign Policy ($240,000), The Des Moines Register ($34,600), and CQ-Roll Call ($76,000).

Huang Jin-Qiu is a Chinese senior media professional and a freelance writer. Expressing his opinion on the matter, he said:

“Ideally, having things done is actually better than having great advertisements. The CCP brags in the international community trying to fool some people who do not know the real situation in China. Such a system, like the CCP’s, can never solve any problems hidden in society. So, no matter how much it brags, it will never cover up the conflicts within society."
