Chinese Government Influence on the U.S. Media Landscape
Chinese Government Influence on the U.S. Media Landscape Written Testimony by Sarah Cook Senior Research Analyst for East Asia, Freedom House Testimony before the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission Hearing on China’s Information Controls, Global Media Influence, and Cyber Warfare Strategy May 4, 2017 Introduction Reuters establishes a new round of internal vetting on stories about human rights in China after its English and Chinese websites are blocked.1 Radio stations in fifteen U.S. cities broadcast content provided by Chinese state-run media.2 Tech giant Apple removes the New York Times’ mobile-phone applications from its download store in China with little explanation.3 And several rounds of crippling cyberattacks hit the New York-based servers of New Tang Dynasty Television and The Epoch Times newspaper’s websites.4 These are a small sample of incidents that have occurred over the past three years. Collectively, they illustrate various ways in which Chinese Communist Party (CCP) information controls—in terms of both censorship and propaganda—extend beyond mainland China’s borders and influence the media landscape in the United States. This testimony summarizes and supplements a 2013 study I authored of this phenomenon globally—The Long Shadow of Chinese Censorship,5 while attempting to offer updates on its recent evolution as it pertains to the American news media sector. The CCP and various Chinese government entities, have long sought to influence public debate and media coverage about China in the United States, particularly among Chinese language communities. However, over the past decade, these efforts have expanded and intensified.

MA Roche (Chairperson) RPG Haines QC
REFUGEE STATUS APPEALS AUTHORITY NEW ZEALAND REFUGEE APPEAL NO 76536 AT AUCKLAND Before: M A Roche (Chairperson) R P G Haines QC (Member) Counsel for the Appellant: K Gore Appearing for the Department of Labour: No Appearance Date of Hearing: 16 & 17 August 2010 Date of Decision: 15 November 2010 REASONS FOR DECISION [1] This is an appeal against the decision of a refugee status officer of the Refugee Status Branch (“RSB”) of the Department of Labour (“DOL”) declining the grant of refugee status to the appellant, a national of China. INTRODUCTION [2] The appellant first arrived in New Zealand in December 2000 on a student permit. Between December 2000 and October 2009 the appellant completed a course of study in New Zealand and worked in accordance with the terms of work permits she was issued. She returned to China for visits to her family in 2003 and 2005. Following the decline of her application for permanent residence in New Zealand she claimed refugee status on 2 October 2009 on the basis that she was at risk of being persecuted in China because of her involvement with the Falun Gong movement. Following an interview on 6 November 2009 her refugee status claim was declined in a decision dated 6 May 2010 leading to her present appeal. [3] The appellant is a Falun Gong practitioner and for several years was the co- 2 ordinator for Falun Gong in Rotorua. She claims that the combination of her activities on behalf of Falun Gong (including her participation in public protests during the visit of the Deputy Premier to New Zealand in June 2010), her involvement with the Epoch Times newspaper, and her involvement with the Shen Yun Performing Arts Group will have made her a person of interest to the Chinese authorities.

He spoke about Megabus and the DOT decision to permit them to operate on 41st St.. DiPalermo pointed out that Megabus is operating on the street for free, while the companies he previously mentioned paid about $5 million annually for their right to use the Port Authority facility. It is an unfair advantage for Megabus, DiPalermo added, and Megabus may violate weight limitations as well. There is a fear that this temporary permit may become permanent.
