Summary
A China-linked organization called the Better Hong Kong Foundation sponsored trips for 54 U.S. journalists from major outlets (CNN, NYT, NPR, WaPo, etc.) between 2010-2018, providing access to Chinese government officials and state media in exchange for favorable coverage of China and Hong Kong. Documents reveal the Foundation explicitly aimed to manufacture "positive stories" and journalists who participated published pieces praising China's policies and governance shortly after the sponsored trips.
