China’s “United Front” propaganda campaign
- The United Front aims to “to co-opt and neutralize sources of potential opposition to the policies and authority of its ruling Chinese Communist Party”
- It has been dubbed an arm of the party-state by the U.S. State Department
- CNN, CNBC, and the Associated Press have all met with Chinese propagandists
The CPAFFC President instructed media representatives to portray China as an ally rather than a "major competitor" to avoid "misjudgment and misleading public opinion"
- In the era of political multi-polarization, economic globalization, and democratization of international relations, the United States still views China from the outdated perspective of "you lose, we win, and either friend or enemy is an enemy".
- Positioning China as a major competitor will inevitably lead to strategic misunderstandings, misjudgment, and misled public opinion.
- On July 26, President Lin Songtian met with Mori Tsijian, Director of the Greater China News Department of the Associated Press (AP), Jiang Xin, the Beijing Bureau Chief of CNN, and American Consumers at the Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries.
- Major U.S. news outlets including CNN, CNBC, and the Associated Press recently met with Chinese Communist Party propagandists flagged by the U.S. government for seeking to malignly influence U.S. politics, The National Pulse can reveal.
- The United Front aims to “to co-opt and neutralize sources of potential opposition to the policies and authority of its ruling Chinese Communist Party” and “influence foreign governments to take actions or adopt positions supportive of Beijing’s preferred policies,” according to the federal U.S.-China Security and Economic Review Commission – U.S. government initiative from 2018.
- United Front groups such as the China United States Exchange Foundation (CUSEF) have used tactics including free trips to China to garner “favorable coverage” from mainstream media outlets according to Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA) filings.
