“”You see on Capitol Hill, it is filled with many young staff members who are energetic, but they may not know that this publication belongs to a foreign opponent, “said Hamadeh.”
So, you know, the Communist Chinese, it is the information war that they are carrying out on us, psychological operations and there is a reason for which they pass it for free. They try to influence the highest levels of the US government and it is unacceptable. “”
China Daily has attracted the anger of the conservatives in recent years, in particular criticism from the time, Senator Marco Rubio, who is now Trump’s secretary of state, who called CEOs last year Media to break links with the newspaper in English held by the CCP.
Rubio said China Daily’s goal was to “overthrow American media by amplifying party objectives and ambitions”. The point of sale has published several articles claiming that the American “anti-china” report on the persecution of the Xinjiang Uyghurs is a “downright lie”.

“”I want to obtain a vote on the file to see which other members of the congress, how they think of a foreign publication like the Chinese daily life transmitted to their offices, “Hamadeh told Fox News Digital.” No one says they should read China daily if they want to read it on their own private, if they want to pay a subscription, that’s good. But passing it by dollars taxpayers is unacceptable and passing them using our resources is unacceptable. “”

Hamadeh told Fox News Digital that he hoped to have bipartite support for his bill to rid the “foreign propaganda” congress.
“Remember what Joe Biden was so concentrated, he got rid of the New York Post in the White House, one of the oldest existing newspapers in the United States,” said Hamadeh. “He got rid of the New York Post. And yet here we allow the Chinese daily to operate freely in the corridors of the Congress. It is unacceptable.”
“We understand that Communist China is a threat. I understand very well in Arizona. My district has all the Taiwanese companies which move away from the district of the sphere of the influence of China for a reason. So you know, it’s a start. There is obviously legislation that people do at the state level and even at the federal level. This is common sense, and that is why I present it, because it should be easy, it should be an easy resolution to pass. “”
