Summary
This document appears to be page 70 of a House Oversight report detailing Chinese foreign influence operations, specifically focusing on the relationship between US think tanks and Chinese state media. It describes how outlets like CCTV, Xinhua, and CGTN interact with American scholars, including instances of censorship, the fabrication of a positive op-ed by Xinhua to misrepresent an analyst's views, and the payment of $150 fees by CGTN to incentivize favorable coverage. The text highlights the varying strategies US analysts use to mitigate these risks, ranging from refusing interviews to insisting on live broadcasts to prevent editing.
