Two Republican senators are urging nine U.S. media outlets to cut ties with China Daily, an English-language newspaper that they say is a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) propaganda publication.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), vice chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee, sent letters to the heads of “nine media companies currently accepting money from China Daily,” according to a press release on March 4.
