The Committee on House Administration blocked further distribution of the newspaper after lawmakers raised concerns, the committee said.

Beijing-controlled newspaper China Daily will no longer be distributed on Capitol Hill, chairmen of two House committees said on Tuesday.

Rep. Bryan Steil (R-Wis.), chairman of the Committee on House Administration, and Rep. John Moolenaar (R-Mich.), chairman of the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), said they are โ€œpleased to announce that China Daily will no longer be circulated by National News to House offices.โ€

โ€œWe took action to directly block the Chinese Communist Party from using the halls of the Peopleโ€™s House to spread its propaganda. We appreciate National Newsโ€™s swift cooperation on this important issue,โ€ they said.

According to the Committee on House Administration, it worked with National News to find a solution after lawmakers raised frustration over the issue, and the distributor is currently winding down the distribution of China Daily in Congress.

The Epoch Times has reached out to National News for comment.

China Daily is one of several major state mouthpieces controlled by the CCPโ€™s Central Propaganda Department. The publicationโ€™s Chinese website says its English edition โ€œactively publicizes and explains Xi Jinping Thought on socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era,โ€ and strives to influence public opinion in favor of communist-ruled China.

Its U.S. distributor China Daily Distribution Corporation has been registered as a foreign agent in the United States since 1983 under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).

Itโ€™s among 17 organizations designated by the U.S. State Department as โ€œforeign missionsโ€ in 2020. Among them, 14 are news publications or broadcasters.

For years, China Daily has been delivered to Congressional offices along with other majorย publications to all Congressional offices unless they opted out.

Some lawmakers have called for the end of China Dailyโ€™s distribution in Congress since 2020, when the publication came under scrutiny for paying major U.S. newspapers millions in advertisement dollars to run inserts that paint the Chinese regime in a positive light and downplay its oppression of Chinese and other peoples.

The call was renewed this year by Freshman Rep. Abe Hamadeh (R-Ariz.), who used his first legislation as a congressman to target the distribution of China Daily and other CCP-controlled publications in Congress.
