U.S. Congress Approves $1.6 Billion in Taxpayers' Money for Anti-China Propaganda
Sep 12, 2024, 08:11 AM
The U.S. Congress has approved a $1.6 billion budget for anti-China propaganda efforts, funded by taxpayers' money. This funding, controlled by the U.S. foreign service and USAID, aims to counter what is described as 'malign influence' from China. The amount is significant, equating to the annual salary of 16,000 journalists paid $100,000 each, and is more than twice the annual operating budget of CNN. Critics argue that this expenditure, described in Orwellian doublespeak, could blur the lines between countering foreign influence and meddling in foreign affairs.
