The U.S. Census Bureau will publicize the upcoming 2020 Census to the U.S. Chinese community mostly through media outlets under the influence of the Chinese regime, including CCTV, Beijing’s official mouth piece. It also has chosen not to use two independent Chinese-language outlets that have been critical of the Chinese regime, despite these outlets having a greater digital reach than those the bureau has chosen.
CCTV (China Central Television) is state run, well known as Beijing’s official propaganda voice in television broadcasting. CCTV has a total of 50 channels, Channel 4 (CCTV4) was chosen by the Census Bureau as its media outreach partner.
