Congress Proposes $500 Million for Negative News Coverage of China​

The effort to counter China’s ‘malign influence’ would fund negative coverage of China’s Belt and Road Initiative—while also beefing up the U.S.’s international lending.

Meant to “combat Chinese disinformation,” the bill would direct funding to the U.S. Agency for Global Media, a U.S.-run foreign media service, as well as local outlets and programs to train foreign journalists.

For example, the Senate bill aims to crowd out Chinese investment in developing countries, and also encourages criticism of China’s projects in those markets.

The Senate bill aims to produce more anti-China media for regions where it says the Chinese Communist Party and other rivals are promoting “manipulated media markets.” It notes that the sponsored news will be “independent.”

One subtitle of USICA creates a “Countering Chinese Influence Fund” totaling $1.5 billion over a five-year period, with more than a third of funds aimed at media outlets.

The push to counter China, the subtitle explains, should “raise awareness of and increase transparency regarding the negative impact of activities related to the Belt and Road Initiative.” It should also urge “support for market-based alternatives in key economic sectors, such as digital economy, energy, and infrastructure.”

Isn’t it more productive to spend it on tech and infrastructure? If you can built better things than China you can achieve the same propaganda results legitimately.

Have you seen how expensive it is to get anything done in America? $500 million wouldn't replace a bridge.

The money will be better spent on politically connected American think tanks who will outsource it to Indian call centres to write anti-Chinese articles and twitter posts in broken English.

True they can just take one idiotic post from weibo and then slap the "China says " title.

A user makes a fan-made video about the PLA storming the White House and next day in CNN:

"BREAKING NEWS!!!
Exclusive ONLY in CNN: Secret plot uncovered by CNN journalists, we can now reveal that the Chinese military has a secret plan to attack the White House and kidnap Biden"

Why would China need to kidnap "Beijing Biden"? None of the conservatives would believe it.
