An Asian media outlet accused of alignment with the Chinese Communist Party lists Politico as a strategic partner for a scheduled China-related event in the United States.....The event is to be SCMP’s first U.S. conference, according to a Politico spokesperson....SCMP is owned by Chinese e-retailer Alibaba, whose billionaire co-founder 'Jack Ma is a member of the Chinese Communist Party.'..... Alibaba’s own “position aligns closely with that of the Communist Party.” SCMP itself has faced accusations of “toeing a pro-Beijing line.”
Alibaba acquired SCMP “to use the paper to counteract the negative portrayal of China in the western media,” according to Quartz. Likewise, according to the conference’s main page, SCMP’s mission is to “Lead the global conversation about China.”
Politico is carrying on its site material from a content partner linked to the Chinese Communist Party that toes a pro-Beijing line, whose acquirers explicitly set a goal of influencing China coverage through foreign interference.
Politico is spending any reputation that it’s gained for “independent and nonpartisan reporting” on vouching for the bona fides of what amounts to Chinese Communist Party propaganda.

Billionaire Communists. Ain’t life strange?
President Xi’s problem is that there a lot of Chicaps in places in China besides Hong Kong.
SCMP used to be the “go to” paper to find out what was really going on in Red China. I guess the Chicoms were paying attention to how the US media works now.
Actually this is about ‘Political’ aligning and spreading Chinese Communist Party propoganda,.. Politico is carrying on its site material from a content partner linked to the Chinese Communist Party = foreign interference.
“SCMP used to be the “go to” paper to find out what was really going on in Red China. I guess the Chicoms were paying attention to how the US media works now.”
It was.
It’s still not that bad, but it is ultimately pro-ChiCom now.
Politico is colluding with communist China to interfere with the 2030 election.
