How Reporter From Pro-Beijing Outlet Got Access to White House Coronavirus Press Briefing

A Chinese reporter from a Hong Kong outlet aligned with the Communist Party of China is a member of the White House Foreign Press Group and has rotating access to White House press briefings.

Richard Latendresse, a Canadian journalist who serves as the White House Foreign Press Group’s secretary, told The Daily Caller News Foundation in an email that the Phoenix TV reporter is a member of the organization with rotating access to the foreign press’ seat for press briefings.

“The Phoenix TV reporter in question is a member of the White House Correspondents’ Association. As a result, she became a member of the White House Foreign Press Group because she not only is a member of the [White House Correspondents’ Association], but also has a ‘hard pass’ to be in the White House Briefing Room that was granted to her by the current administration,” Latendresse said.

Again, another Chinese "reporter" who was too embarrassed to say he worked for China in today's press briefing. President Trump wanted to know who he represents. The reporter deflected the question by saying he is from Taiwan. Actually, this guy works for Shanghai Media Group, a Chinese Pro-Regime news group.

The moment he misled Trump in today's press briefing:

Why is someone from Taiwan, working for China?

I know, I know, but why?

[Hostage]

Chinesse lie. They lie and lie and lie.

They lied about the SARS-COV-2 also.

[Phil DiBasquette]

He got shanghaied

“Why is someone from Taiwan, working for China?
I know, I know, but why?”
........
Seriously? A lot of pro-China residents in Taiwan and HongKong. Wealthy businessmen depend on
PRC China’s market, manufacturing power and investment. Just like California and New York.

A very pregnant statement by President Trump in his exchange with the ChiCom reporter received less notice. I transcribed it as follows:
"And I don't know why President Obama hasn't supported Joe Biden a long time ago. There's something he feels is wrong... He knows something that you don't know. And I think I know, but you don't know."

But he is working for a mainland “news” (propaganda) outlet.

Unless he is a spy, why in the world, would he do that?

I don’t get it.

This doesn’t answer the essential questions:

1) Why is a CCP front org part of the WHCA at all?

2) Who precisely issued her a “hard pass”, when, and what were the circumstances?

You get all kinds of people advocating for all kinds of causes. There are plenty of Chinese stateside working against the Chinese government, including the entire Chinese staff of Epoch Times, Radio Free Asia, guys like Miles Kwok https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guo_Wengui and recently deceased Harry Wu https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Wu. It’s not particularly surprising that you’re gonna get people crossing over on both sides. Freeper Vannrox became a Freeper in 1998. Here’s a recent post on his personal website:

USA Admits COVID-19 was a “live exercise” biological weapon on China.

Oh, interesting.

He’s still posting.

Good to know. Hello Vannrox!

[max americana]

My sis works for one of the largest banks in the world , and located in HK. She’s seen it all there. In her department alone, everyone there hates China but have to get along .

[ConservativeMind]

Vannrox has jumped the shark.

Everywhere an American looked an item came from this country (China). Now that reliance was being threatened by a change in leadership in America which was a major consumer of those products , When Americans hailed the leaders decision to make many of them in their country. Worse yet opponents to the Chinese regime in power had its citizens protesting its policies since that change in American leadership wave the American flag and present his name when doing so. All of which presented those in power the need to destroy that leader,

Would a runaway plague created by a nation which could threaten populations of an enemy cause them to react by demanding extreme restriction of movement by its population to prevent its spread ? Thus wind up fragmenting its economy.
The way this whole thing developed starting with the Italian fashion industry areas controlled by the Chinese commies hit by a runaway CoVid19. Sure looks suspicious particularly when crews of naval vessels somehow wind up being infected by it.

To stop the return of manufacturing of products back to the US that went to China. China backers are using that Trump alleged stock ownership claim as a controlling interest in a product they claim to be totally ineffective when used to treat a disease created to create a severe restriction of movement known as a shutdown because of its transmission .

#@: Johnathan Karl, who was chosen to be the main guy in the WHPC

[Eagles6]

That was tremendous!

[absalom01]

We need to start taking names.

[thoughtomator]

So ventilator shortage panic guy is the same person who issued her the hard pass?

Meaning that the WHCA issues the passes and not the WH? Am I getting this right?

[Captainpaintball]

I believe so, not 100%. I do know they told OANN reporters and all who have to stand in the back of the room to not show up anymore.

[thoughtomator]

That’s crazy. Nobody elected those people, they shouldn’t be making these decisions.

[Tellurian]

Pompeo said it "was" a live exercise? Seems more like he's saying it has become a live exercise, since they don't know what China is up to.
