Several Chinese Communist Party-linked groups - including the regime's Ministry of Foreign Affairs - have subsidized trips to China for American journalists in an effort to "Enhance" their understanding of U.S.-China relations since the 1990's, The National Pulse can reveal from recovered webpages deleted by program sponsors.
Inaugurated in 2010, the program expanded upon a 1996 initaitive "Supported" by the Chinese Communist Party's Ministry of Foreign Affairs that granted free trips to China for journalists from mainstream American media outlets.
In practice, CUSEF has sponsored trips to China for mainstream corporate media outlets in exchange for "Favorable coverage." As revealed through Foreign Agent Registration Act filings with the Department of Justice, the group's explicit goal of the trips is to "Effectively disseminate positive messages to the media, key influencers, and opinion leaders, and the general public."
Sponsors of the "China-United States Journalism Exchange" are also closely tied to CUSEF, as American journalists participating in the trips have also repeatedly met with CUSEF Founding Chairman Tung Chee-Hwa.
The Chinese participants visit Washington D.C. and one to two other cities in the U.S. while the American journalists will visit Beijing, another mainland China city and Hong Kong.
Following these study tours, all Chinese and American journalists meet for a 2-day dialogue to share their travel experiences and observations and to exchange opinions on how media coverage of each country can be improved.
The following lists identify the journalists - from outlets including The New York Times, The Washington Post, National Public Radio, CNN, and Reuters - participating in the trips.
