The CIA has issued a classified report detailing China's far-reaching foreign influence operations campaign in the United States, which imparts financial incentives as leverage to permeate American institutions.
In an unclassified page of the report obtained by the Washington Free Beacon, the CIA cautions against efforts by the Chinese Communist Party to stipulate funding to universities and policy institutes in exchange for academic censorship.
"The CCP provides ‘strings-attached' funding to academic institutions and think tanks to deter research that casts it in a negative light," the report says. "It has used this tactic to reward pro-China viewpoints and coerce Western academic publications and conferences to self-censor. The CCP often denies visas to academics who criticize the regime, encouraging many China scholars to preemptively self-censor so they can maintain access to the country on which their research depends."

The Bush family, for sure. China had Neil Bush's attention with Chinese prostitutes and got some pretty sweet deals out of him.

The Soviets infiltrated our academia and media years ago, then recently dabbled in the internet. This is a continuation of the same type of activity by the Chinese.
Basically they are using our free speech rights against us.

Which is why transparency is so important. Let the free market weigh the idea knowing the source and the ulterior motives.
That’s all I really want from Honest Bob. Document the historical record and let the electorate decide.

Russia, you guys always blame someone else trying to cover for the fraud you helped elect.

Absent gutting the 1st Amendment and going full censorship,
all we can do as consumers of information is exercise caveat emptor.
