'Unchecked, Beijing's efforts could result in...a sharp contraction of global freedom of expression,' says a US State Department report
WASHINGTON DC, USA – China is manipulating global media through censorship, data harvesting, and covert purchases of foreign news outlets, the United States said on Thursday, September 29, warning the trend could lead to a “sharp contraction” of global freedom of expression.
The US report comes amid controversy over China’s efforts in recent years to expand the global footprint of its government-controlled media, especially as geopolitical competition between Beijing and Washington has intensified. Chinese leaders have sought to combat the negative images of China they feel are spread by world media.
Chinese data harvesting overseas “has enabled Beijing to fine-tune global censorship by targeting specific individuals and organizations,” it said.
