The trips often came just before opinion editorials and news reports excusing Chinese Communist Party crimes, or opposing trade showdowns with the nation.
The China-United States Exchange Foundation (CUSEF) was founded by the Vice-Chairman of the “highest-ranking entity overseeing” Chinese Communist Party’s United Front Department, an effort which aims to “co-opt and neutralize sources of potential opposition to the policies and authority” of the Chinese government. “The United Front strategy uses a range of methods to influence overseas Chinese communities, foreign governments, and other actors to take actions or adopt positions supportive of Beijing’s preferred policies,” the U.S. government report continues.
CUSEF uses United Front Department tactics of influence on Western journalists from virtually every Western media outlet: CNN, New York Times, MSNBC, The Washington Post, and many more. According to Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA) filings with the Department of Justice, CUSEF retained Western lobbyists to aid in their quest to “effectively disseminate positive messages to the media, key influencers and opinion leaders, and the general public” regarding China.
The National Pulse can now exclusively reveal Western journalists – including those praised by President Biden and married to potential members of his White House – who are listed as having accepted trips from the Chinese Communist Party influence group.
Red Handed.
CUSEF newsletter from 2009 and 2010 reveal the following journalists:
- Vox Co-founder and New York Times columnist Ezra Klein;
- Vox Co-founder Matthew Yglesias;
- CNN Senior Political Analyst and The Atlantic Senior Editor Ronald Brownstein;

American “journalists” are, for the most part, political hacks?
I thought I was going to read something I didn’t already know.
We had a camera operator at ABC, during the daily-hire era of camera operators, who was a Trump man.
Doug heard about it and fired him.
Not that you can fire a daily-hire… you just don’t put him or her on the schedule. Easy. Easy democrat scumbag bullshit.
Doug can go to hell.
I’m not much for camera operators — most of them were retarded shitbags, but some of them were excellent.
This excellent camera operator was fired for being a Trump supporter. And then we had a greater ratio of retards to excellent operators. WTF?
Anyone who believes they’re “shamed” is delusional. These people don’t GAS what we think and they’re surrounded by like thinkers.
This journalist “favorable coverage” of communist countries goes back to pre-WW2.
Commies are all in it together.
Look up Walter Duranty.
Commies and Commie politicians are born without shame glands!
I do have a girlfriend who lives in China. We do deal with the government on both sides. We do work with remote and distance relationships. It is not easy, but because of the relationship, I can look at both sides. I do have my biases. The US is the best with governments. I accept there might be a better government, but I will wait for you to prove it to me.
I do have the talks with my GF. She has seen what she has for her entire life. I have my opinions and the US history. I think I am correct, but I do want to have the argument. She is in the same / opposite world.
We have both taken trips to the evil empire. We do accept that our government is better. I am happy to say that I have been able to get her to move in the freedom, but there is still a gap. With my history, I am willing to make the argument. I am not sure that I will succeed. I am convinced that I am on the right side. I am sure that she thinks that her history is correct.
Knowing that the women are always right (yup, most of you realize that). I am happy to say that my significant other will look at the options. I am probably wrong, just because I am a white male “D
This: “The Olympics gives China a second chance at human rights reforms”; these liberal “journos” and liberals in general live their mental lives on a diet of wishful thinking.
CCP took control of China in 1949 and have never acknowledged any kind of human rights in 72 years, but hosting the Olympics will somehow change all that. Got it! These are the heirs of Duranty-think.
They all took the Glenn Thrush pledge, as memorialized in John Podesta’s hacked emails:
“Because I have become a hack I will send u the whole section that pertains to u. Please don’t share or tell anyone I did this Tell me if I f****d up anything.”
This is who you all are now, journos: Bought and sold party hacks, sucking off the powerful and spitting out propaganda.
Ah ha! I knew it!
The party hacks are spitters.
Their gullible sycophants swallow!
When you have no morality selling out your country for the cheap price of trips and parties is easy.
