  • US announced the addition of four Chinese media including CCTV, People's Daily, Global Times and China News Service as "foreign missions" as they all are government outlets - October 22, 2020

    I do not know what the problem is. All media is controlled in China. They admit this. It is not controversial. The China government openly controls all media. So aren't they all representatives for the government?

    The U.S. lists 6 Chinese media as "foreign missions". The Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Will respond due and necessary



    According to the People’s Daily, on October 22, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian presided over a regular press conference.


    Q: What is China's response to the U.S. listing of six Chinese media organizations in the United States as "foreign missions"?


    A: In recent years, the US government has imposed unreasonable restrictions on the normal news reporting activities of Chinese media organizations and personnel in the United States, unreasonably created difficulties, and has continuously escalated its discrimination and political suppression of Chinese media.


    In December 2018, the United States requested that Chinese media organizations in the United States register as "foreign agents." On February 18, 2020, the U.S. listed five Chinese media organizations in the U.S. including Xinhua News Agency, the U.S. distribution company of China Daily, China International Television, China Radio International, and the U.S. general agent for the overseas edition of People’s Daily as "foreign Mission". On June 22, the US announced the addition of four Chinese media including CCTV, People's Daily, Global Times and China News Service as "foreign missions." On October 21, the United States announced the addition of six Chinese media as "foreign missions." This is the latest political suppression and stigmatization of Chinese media and journalists in the United States. China expresses its firm opposition to the US's unreasonable actions. Strongly condemned.


    The relevant US practices are specifically aimed at the Chinese media. They are based on the Cold War mentality and ideological prejudice. They have seriously damaged the reputation and image of the Chinese media, seriously affected the normal operation of the Chinese media in the United States, seriously interfered with the normal cultural exchanges between China and the United States, and exposed their self-promotion. The hypocrisy of so-called freedom of the press. To this, China will make a legitimate and necessary response.


    China urges the US to immediately change its course, correct its mistakes, and stop political suppression and unreasonable restrictions on the Chinese media.
