The decision by the U.S. Census Bureau to stop using Beijing’s official mouthpiece China Central Television (CCTV) in publicizing the upcoming 2020 Census to the Chinese-American community has not quelled controversy over the actions of the Bureau, which continues to avoid using Chinese-language outlets critical of the Chinese regime.
Since publishing an article on Jan. 21 describing how the Census Bureau was relying on China’s state-owned CCTV and other Chinese media controlled by the regime, The Epoch Times has found that the Census Bureau is still using U.S. taxpayers’ money to hire several media outlets controlled by the Chinese regime, including a newspaper called The China Press (Qiaobao). The China Press is generally recognized as one of the Chinese regime’s leading mouthpieces in the United States.
