'''''The Economist''''' is a weekly [[British]] news magazine which generally promotes [[free market]]s, personal [[liberty]] and [[human rightsglobalism]].
Although the columnists usually write (anonymously) from a [[centrist]] stance, the readership is generally very [[left-wing]]. The Economist endorsed the moderate-left [[Liberal Democrats]] in the UK General Election of 2017 and often writes against [[Donald Trump]] and in favor of [[evolutionism]]. The magazine has not endorsed a Republican for president since 2000. The magazine takes [[open borders]] positions.<ref>Huennekens, Preston (March 4, 2019).

:{{See also |CCP propaganda war}}According to the ''The Washington Freebeacon'':has reported that ''The Economist'' is running Chinese propaganda from an outlet that is violating U.S. law to spread the message that Chinese president [[Xi Jinping]] has done a masterful job handling the [[coronavirus pandemic]].
The [[propaganda]] advertorials, which are ads designed to look like news stories, come from the ''Beijing Review'', an entity backed by the [[Chinese Communist Party]]. The outlet has never registered with the [[Department of Justice]] as required by the [[Foreign Agents Registration Act]] (FARA) and does not include a legally required [[disclaimer]] that the ad is being pushed by a foreign nation.
