Admissions by the Chinese Communist Party’s Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) that were recently spotlighted by The National Pulse reveal that the Chinese entity not only has significant influence among American think tanks and “election integrity” groups that played major roles in the 2020 election, but also with Joe Biden’s national security team. In a 2017 report entitled “Holding High the Banner of Party Media and Fulfilling Its Duties and Missions,” the CAC states that it performs “online propaganda and public opinion work” while maintaining a “Socialist core value view” and suppressing dissent within China. The report further explains that the CAC’s efforts to influence western nations involve use of the state-owned China Daily newspaper and website. China Daily has bought advertising space in U.S. periodicals such as the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Washington Post. The Post notably prints a weekly column by Fareed Zakaria, who serves on the “21st Century Council” of the think tank known as the Berggruen Institute. One of Zakaria’s most recent columns is entitled “The Pentagon is using China as an excuse for huge new budgets,” a piece in which he praises China and advises Americans not to worry about the communist regime’s growing military might. The CAC makes clear on its website that China Daily is a “party media website” that “uses international communication” to further the aims of the CCP leadership.
