Chinese Media Foreign Missions

The US has designated four more top state-run Chinese media houses as "foreign missions", terming them as "propaganda" outlets "controlled" by the ruling Communist Party of China, a move that could further escalate tensions between the two countries.

Beijing on Wednesday slammed Washington's decision to tighten rules on Chinese state media organisations in the US and classify them as foreign missions, saying it was "unreasonable and unacceptable."

The United States said Tuesday it will treat Chinese state media organizations as foreign missions, tightening rules on them as US officials decried what they described as Beijing's growing propaganda.
