The New York Times has deleted hundreds of advertorials by a Chinese propaganda outlet, after ending its relationship with the state media, according to The Washington Free Beacon.

China Daily, an English-language Chinese state-run newspaper, has over the years paid millions of dollars to major American outlets including The Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, and the New York Times to run supplements called “China Watch,” which contain propaganda disguised as news.
