US moves to restrict Chinese media outlets as ‘propaganda’

[Disir]

The Trump administration added four Chinese media outlets Monday to a list of organizations that should be considered “foreign missions” because of their ties to the government and the Communist Party, a move that could force some to cut staff in the U.S. and is likely to further aggravate relations between the two countries.

State Department officials said the four organizations, including state-run CCTV, would be required to submit a list of everyone who works for them in the U.S. and any real estate holdings just as they would if they were foreign embassies or consulates.

None are being ordered to leave the U.S. and no limits on their activities were announced. But five other Chinese organizations were directed to cap the number of people who could work in the United States in March — a month after they were designated as foreign missions.

In March, China expelled more than a dozen American journalists working for The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post and required those outlets, as well as the Voice of America and Time magazine, to provide the government with information about their operations.


That came after the Trump administration restricted to 100 from about 160 the number of Chinese nationals allowed to work in the United States for a handful of Chinese outlets, including the People's Daily.

Stilwell brushed aside concerns that China could retaliate to Monday's move by the administration by kicking out more American journalists, saying there was no "moral equivalency."

The State Department's new listing of Chinese media escalates a tit-for-tat scrap over journalists that kicked off earlier in the year.

This has to be the world's slowest tennis match ever.

Who says the Chinese Communists don't have a sense of humor?

They actually think that people in other countries have an interest in reading their boring, propaganda-filled publications.

Even in China itself, I hear, big companies are forced to subscribe to state-run rags. As soon as they arrive, the rags are dumped into the trashcans, for the workers refuse to waste time reading such drivel.

Maybe the U.S should do what the Communists do, and forces these companies to "partner" with the U.S government. Or, subject themselves to part ownership.

I'm sure the Commies would love a few CIA agents in their exective meetings and have the U.S decide who is hired or not.

The official government (both Chinese or American) propaganda is not written to be enjoyed or believed. Unofficial propaganda is much more interesting.
But anyway, other people (and other peoples) are the only mirror we have.
