News analysis

For years, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has employed its official media to bring China and “the Party’s voice” into the American market. One of its overseas propaganda arms, China Daily, may appear to be a legitimate and successful news organization, but financial records indicate that it is mostly funded by the CCP and lacks genuine subscribers and revenue. Moreover, the newspaper’s circulation in the United States and other countries is shrinking due to increasing skepticism toward China and its manipulated news content.
