U.S. Media Exclusive: Explosive Photos Reveal Years of Meetings Between Bloomberg Executives and Chinese Communist Propaganda Officials in Beijing

Breitbart News reported on May 17 that Breaking the News: Exposing the Establishment Media’s Hidden Deals and Secret Corruption, an in-depth exposé of the inner workings of the Chinese Communist Party and Western establishment media, was published in English on May 18. Deals and Secret Corruption) was published on May 18. The fact that Michael Bloomberg and top personnel from his eponymous news group, Bloomberg, regularly meet with top Communist Party officials and propagandists in Beijing has been exposed.

Bloomberg is a business owned by Bloomberg, a former huge Democratic Party donor and one-time presidential candidate. According to documents reviewed during the research for this book, Bloomberg is not only regulated by Chinese Communist Party officials, but the extent to which Bloomberg has access to the huge Chinese (Communist) market is also restricted by the Chinese Communist Party. However, Bloomberg himself still speaks well, if not highly, of the CCP, President Xi and other top Beijing officials. Bloomberg also seems to do much more business in the Chinese (Communist) Republic than its competitors.

Foreign purveyors of financial data within the Chinese (Communist) Party are forced to apply for a license from the Communist Party’s State Council Information Office (SCIO), which is renewed every two years, so the pressure to show goodwill to top Beijing officials is always there, and indeed Bloomberg has done this aspect of showing goodwill, which is not generally outstanding.

According to the Communist Party, Bloomberg executives regularly fly to China to meet with senior members of the Communist Party, including propagandists, in order to build deep partnerships on a variety of issues. Indeed, this has been Bloomberg’s culture, apparently for at least a decade, and in 2013, then-Bloomberg News editor-in-chief Matthew Winkler reportedly compared members of the Communist Party to Nazis, who would likely kick journalists out of China if the “Nazis” felt judged. This seems to go far beyond a “show of goodwill” to China.

Bloomberg’s comments praising the Communist Party were also unearthed in the book “Breaking News,” where in 2019 Bloomberg said in an interview that “Xi Jinping is not a dictator. Bloomberg himself currently remains one of the most powerful players in the U.S. media and Democratic Party politics. However, Bloomberg is not the only major news organization to send representatives to Beijing to establish contact with anti-American propagandists.

The book “Breaking News” reveals the true extent to which the U.S. media, in order to curry favor with the Chinese Communist regime, is willing to cooperate. According to the CCP, at these meetings, CCP and Bloomberg officials discussed topics such as “cooperation in the media field,” “introducing the Chinese story to the world,” and “strengthening U.S.-China media cooperation.
