One unfortunate casualty of media consolidation could be the objectivity of news at a time of rising tensions with China.
The third reason is that many media companies either do business with China or are paid by the government in some way.
On the print side, top U.S. newspapers like the Washington Post and New York Times have been criticized for running paid China Daily inserts.
What might the Chinese government do if it were displeased with something that ran on MSNBC? Perhaps they'd have a tense conversation with their partners at 30 Rockefeller Plaza about the forthcoming slate of movie releases in China.
Comcast Corporation is not only the participator of the increasingly close cultural exchanges, but also the contributor and beneficiary of deeper economic exchanges between China and the US. The NBC and the Universal Studios Theme Park in Beijing are witnesses of the in-depth development of Sino-US economic and trade relations and increasingly close cultural exchanges.
Consul General Huang Ping made a point of discussing China's response to the coronavirus, as well as news coverage in the U.S.: "China's prevention and control practices have earned valuable time and experience for other countries. We hope that the NBC and other U.S. media will objectively and fairly report China's efforts to control the epidemic."
A few weeks after the meeting, NBC News stories appeared saying the only new coronavirus cases in China had come from foreigners, and another one about China asserting its global leadership.
