The UK House of Commons has banned the delivery of a Chinese state newspaper, following a similar move by the U.S. Congress in March.

The English-language edition of China Daily, a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) mouthpiece owned by its Central Propaganda Department, had been delivered to all UK Members of Parliament’s (MP) offices since 2016.
