🔺️China Daily, directly controlled by the CCP, paid over
🔺️$4.6 million to The Washington Post and
🔺 Nearly $6 million to The Wall Street Journal
Since late 2016 for these propaganda supplements designed to look like legitimate news.
🔺 Additional payments from China Daily went to outlets including
🔺️Time magazine ($700,000+),
🔺️Foreign Policy magazine,
🔺️Financial Times,
🔺️Los Angeles Times,
🔺️Chicago Tribune,
🔺️Houston Chronicle,
🔺️Boston Globe,
🔺️USA Today, and others,
totaling millions more in recent years.
🔷️The CIA actively worked against Trump throughout his term.
🔷️Officials in the intelligence community stripped out all content that might support Trump’s reelection efforts.
🔷️Former CIA officer Pedro Israel Orta, who worked at the agency during the Trump administration, reported that the CIA did not recognize Trump as president and refused to put his picture on the wall, breaking long-standing custom for all previous presidents.
🔷️A November 2020 email among intelligence officials described how they deliberately altered one of the pending President’s Daily Briefs to avoid any information about China interfering in the 2020 election.

🔷️A massive multi-domain operation by China involving trade, open-source information, and social media was used to shape voter opinions and influence the outcome of the election
🔷️China obtained over 220 million U.S. voter records as part of the massive influence and data operation targeting the 2020 presidential election – that info was hidden from Trump.
That data included names, addresses, phone numbers, political party preferences, and other sensitive details that could be used to register voters or influence outcomes.
The CIA and other officials made sure to hide all information about China and the 2020 election from President Trump removing information from his daily briefings
They knew in the summer of 2020
A whistleblower reported about the Chinese influence operation, but the report was suppressed.
China identified U.S. journalists who did not like President Trump and paid them large sums of money to produce negative articles, with no limits on content.
The Chinese Communist Party used its propaganda outlets, such as China Daily, to pay millions of dollars to major American newspapers and magazines for advertising inserts and printing that promoted pro-Beijing narratives.
These paid inserts often pushed anti-Trump or pro-China spins on events, amplifying divisions and undermining the sitting president.
What should be done to hold CIA officials , democrats and media outlets who suppressed this intelligence accountable?
