ABC arguably has the strongest ties with the Chinese economy and the [[CCP]]. The [[CCP]] and their enterprises provided significant support for the $3.6 billion cost of building a Disney World in Shanghai. ESPN, another affiliate of ABC, told their staff not to disparage the Chinese Communist regime and where possible to avoid the topic altogether. <ref>https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/espn-warns-staff-against-disparaging-chinese-communism</ref>

=====Bloomberg=====
Bloomberg is heavily invested in China. They have sent over $150 billion into Chinese bond markets to 364 companies. Out of those 364 companies, 159 were directly controlled by the Chinese government. Bloomberg's media arm has been a willing servant of the CCP. In 2014, they suppressed a news story about the wealth of Chinese elites. They leveraged a non-disclosure agreement to silence both a reporter based in Beijing and his wife, neither of whom ever worked for Bloomberg.<ref>https://qrius.com/china-owns-us-how-the-chinese-are-buying-up-america/</ref>
