‘Foreign Policy’ Ramps Up Advertising Deal With Chinese Propaganda Outlet

A prominent foreign policy journal boosted its advertising deal with a Chinese state-controlled media outlet in recent months, even as other news organizations have ended similar partnerships due to concerns about publishing propaganda.

China Daily, a news agency controlled by the Chinese Communist Party, paid Foreign Policy $291,000 over the past six months as part of an online advertising campaign, according to records that the Chinese outlet filed under the Foreign Agents Registration Act. China Daily has paid the magazine more than $630,000 in all since late 2019. The most recent payment is the largest China Daily has made in a six-month period to Foreign Policy.

China Daily spends millions of dollars each year on partnerships with American and European news companies. U.S. officials and advocacy groups have warned that the Communist Party uses the content to spread propaganda and gain legitimacy in the West. As a result, several prominent media organizations, including the New York Times and Economist, have cut ties with China Daily over concerns about working with state-run media.

Foreign Policy publishes the China Daily content on a sponsored website called "ChinaWatch." The website says that the People's Republic of China pays for and creates the articles.

China's tech workers pushed to limits by surveillance software
A vicious cycle of monitoring and overwork is fueling productivity -- and backlash


HONG KONG -- Andy Wang, an IT engineer at a Shanghai-based gaming company, occasionally felt a pang of guilt about his job.
Most of his hours were spent on a piece of surveillance software called DiSanZhiYan, or "Third Eye." The system was installed on the laptop of every colleague at his company to track their screens in real time, recording their chats, their browsing activity and every document edit they made.
Working from their floor in a downtown high-rise, the startup's hundreds of employees were constantly, uncomfortably aware of being under Third Eye's intent gaze.

The software would also automatically flag "suspicious behavior" such as visiting job-search sites or video streaming platforms. "Efficiency" reports would be generated weekly, summarizing their time spent by website and application.
"Bosses would check the reports regularly," Wang said. Farther down the line, that could skew workers' prospects for promotions and pay rises. They could also be used as evidence when the company looked to fire certain people, he added.
Even Wang himself was not exempt. High-definition surveillance cameras were installed around the floor, including in his office, and a receptionist would check the footage every day to monitor how long each employee spent on their lunch break, he said.
