recently, the u.s. house of representatives passed a bill with a high profile, allocating $1.625 billionsupportso-called "independent media" and non-governmental organizations around the world are "countering china's malicious influence." this huge "public relations fee" was just voted through, but the funding date is from october 2022. who took the money?

in addition, an anti-china "vision document" disclosed by the us is quite imaginative: us anti-china organizations have targeted a port invested by china in africa, and by controlling the local media and government, they have launched public opinion attacks and incited violent conflicts, forcing china to withdraw. the us military will then enter the area and claim that they have "discovered documents showing that china plans to deploy missiles at the port to threaten us shipping."

vision is vision, but in reality, the first step of paying to smear is to "die in the light". in 2021, the us embassy in zimbabwe offered $1,000 per report, asking local media to cooperate in smearing the "belt and road" initiative, but it was exposed by the local newspaper with the largest circulation.
an american media person asked: "can't we just ignore china and take care of ourselves? we build up the united states, and they build up china, and together we can become rich and strong. what's the contradiction?"
