The far-left ‘Independent’ newspaper, which consistently intervenes in favor of Kamala Harris and the Democratic Party in the United States, is embroiled in a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) propaganda relationship that sees masses of pro-China “puff pieces” published on its website, furthering the interests of the CCP in the U.S., UK, and Europe.
“China Watch” – a series of articles by CCP-state-run newspaper China Daily, provides content for the Independent without any editorial oversight nor scrutiny from the UK-based paper, which in turn is owned by globalist oligarchy Evgeny Lebedev, as well as Saudi businessman Sultan Muhammad Abuljadayel.
Articles published by the Independent take the form of “soft-PR” for the Chinese government, often “reporting” on business opportunities for foreign firms, cultural issues, and trade with China.
As the Independent takes money from the Chinese Communist Party’s propaganda newspaper, it has also sought to interfere in the 2024 presidential race, regularly publishing articles clearly biased toward the Kamala Harris campaign.
Articles on former president Donald J. Trump bear headlines such as “Trump says convicted criminals should spend time behind bars. What about him?” or “Trump tried to explain how he plans to make childcare more affordable. It was a word salad.”
Vice President Kamala Harris received a much more favorable set of headlines, such as, “Optimism in the country perked up after Harris entered race, with poll reaching highest peak since 2021.”
The Independent’s collusion with China follows the plethora of mainstream outlets that have been taking CCP-sponsored trips to China in exchange for favorable coverage for years as part of groups like the China-United States Exchange Foundation.
In 2021, a member of President Joe Biden’s China team even stated she was “fine” with China spreading influence and propaganda in America.
