USA lists four more publications as 'controlled by China'

 As per US State Department statement, 'foreign mission' means y are substantially owned or effectively controlled” by a foreign government, and in this case, China. Earlier this year, USA listed Xinhua News ncy, China Global Television Network, China Rio International, China Daily Distribution Corporation, and Hai Tian Development USA as 'foreign missions', thus identifying nine publications in total as government-owned.

move does t interfere with se publications to publish a particular article but just recognizes m in order to increase transparency relating to Communist Party of China (CCP) and People's Republic of China (PRC)'s media activities in United States.

se publications will, however, have to follow certain rules which are applied to foreign embassies and consulates in USA.

" PLA has escalated border tensions – we see it today in India, world’s most popular – populous democracy.  And we watch as it militarizes South China Sea and illegally claims more territory re, threatening vital sea lanes, a promise y broke again," Pompeo said.

Pompeo went on to state how China is waging cyber wars against countries, with latest suspect being Australia, ding debts on countries, forcing m to depend on China. " Chinese Communist Party decreed an end to freedom in Hong Kong, violating an UN-registered treaty and rights of its citizens – one of just many international treaties that Chinese Communist Party has violated. General Secretary Xi has greenlighted a brutal campaign of repression against Chinese Muslims, a human rights violation on a scale we have t seen since World War II," Pompeo said.
