history

According to the founders, the impetus for the establishment was that they wanted to react to the censorship within China and the international information deficit with the resulting lack of understanding of the Chinese Communist Party's suppression of Falun Gong . In May 2000, the first print edition appeared in New York in Chinese, and from August the Epoch Times could also be read on the Internet.

In the same year, ten Epoch Times correspondents were jailed in China, so they worked out correspondents for the Chinese-language edition of Hong Kong.

By 2003, the Epoch Times media group and website had become one of the largest Chinese-language media group and news website outside of China, with local editions in the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Indonesia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and major Western European countries . In the same year, the Epoch Times began to offer an English-language online version alongside the Chinese editions. The first 16-page English-language print edition followed in August 2004 in New York.

In November 2004, the Epoch Times published the Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party editorial series . The Nine Commentaries have since been translated from Chinese into more than 30 languages ​​and sparked a global movement to quit the Chinese Communist Party, the Tuidang Movement .

In 2005, the English print edition of The Epoch Times appeared in every English-speaking country in the world, including Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and even Malaysia and Singapore. US English weekly editions were printed in New York, Washington, DC, Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.

In 2010, the Hong Kong edition was published in both English and Chinese.

By February 2012, the Epoch Times media group had already published 67 print editions in five continents and eleven languages. Up to 2014 there were print and web editions in 35 countries and 21 languages, in 2018 in a total of 23 languages.

Special reports

Organ harvesting in China

In March 2006, The Epoch Times published allegations by three Chinese people who testified that thousands of Falun Gong practitioners had been killed to supply China's organ transplant industry. One of the witnesses, a surgeon, spoke of 36 concentration camps in China. The Kilgour-Matas investigation report , which was initiated on the basis of these witness statements and appeared in July 2006, found among other things that 41,500 kidney transplants were performed in China from 2000 to 2005, for which the organ sources are unclear. Kilgour and Matas summarized, "To this day, large-scale forced organ harvesting continues to be performed on Falun Gong practitioners." Inquiries to the Chinese government were not answered and permission to conduct investigations directly in China was denied.

The investigation report led two UN special rapporteurs to call on the Chinese government several times to "allege the harvesting of vital organs from Falun Gong practitioners and the source of the organs for the sudden surge in organ transplants that have been going on in China since 2000 are to be fully explained ". However, the Chinese government has consistently denied the allegations and refused to provide evidence to refute the allegations.

In June 2016, the Epoch Times picked up the new investigation report "Bloody Harvest / The Slaughter - An Update", which was jointly prepared by David Kilgour, David Matas and Ethan Gutmann . According to the 680-page report, 712 liver and kidney transplant centers across China took place between 60,000 and 100,000 organ transplants annually from 2000 to 2015, so that to date almost 1.5 million organ transplants have been performed without China having a functioning organ donation system. The report finds that the number of organ transplants in China is far higher than the Chinese government said; the organ sources for this high number of organ transplants come from killed Uyghurs, Tibetans, domestic Christians, and mainly Falun Gong practitioners; and organ harvesting is a crime in China involving the Communist Party, state institutions, the health system, hospitals and transplant doctors.

The parliaments of Canada , the European Union , Taiwan, and the Foreign Affairs Subcommittee of the United States House of Representatives passed resolutions condemning the harvesting of organs from Falun Gong prisoners of conscience.

Since the first allegations in 2006, the Epoch Times has been reporting on the latest news regarding organ harvesting, such as the Bundestag debate on human rights violations in China or the publication of the telephone calls from WOIPFG to high-ranking transplant surgeons from the largest transplant centers in China (2018).

Other reports

During the 2009 New York City Comptroller election, the Epoch Times reported that Taiwan-born Democratic candidate John Liu was part of a "United Front" of the Chinese Communist Party to infiltrate the United States and its government, democracy and human rights Generally infiltrate. The newspaper wrote that "the Chinese Communist Party is working persistently and systematically to place its employees in key positions in companies and universities, academia, and government agencies in the United States and elsewhere." The Epoch Times also published a special eight-page issue and reported on its website about Liu's relationships with Chinese Communist Party officials.

During Hu Jintao's visit to Canada in June 2010, the Epoch Times published several articles critical of Hu's visit. Among other things, she reported that the Chinese embassy had staged local welcoming parades. In addition, the speech of the first Minister of Education, Liu Shaohua, was published, in which he stated that the embassy would provide accommodation and transport for more than 3000 participants in the welcome parade.

Canadian media reported that in relation to Hu's public appearances, the Canadian Parliament's press office had deliberately taken precautions to keep The Epoch Times away from the Chinese Communist Party's general secretary. This happened despite the fact that the newspaper is an accredited member of the Canadian Parliamentary Press Gallery . Canadian MP Rob Anders mentioned in an interview with The Epoch Times that the Chinese government had tried to influence Canada's political decisions through gifts and deals.

editorial

Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party

In November 2004, the Chinese edition of the Epoch Times published a series of editorials and a booklet entitled "Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party" ( Chinese  九 評 共產黨  /  九 评 共产党 ), which were later translated into several languages ​​and published in book form . The editorials reveal the often violent political campaigns in the history of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), from its rise under Mao Zedong to its present day form. The Nine Commentaries criticize the CCP as an unlawful institution that used underhanded tactics to come to power. It also states that the CCP "destroyed traditional Chinese culture" and had an "evil cult" structure. For the historian Ownby, the Nine Commentaries are a condemnation of communism that also calls into question the legitimacy of the Chinese Communist Party's government. Given that the CCP has inflicted unnecessary violence on the country, Ownby finds the imbalance and nuance in tone and style to be similar to the editorials of "anti-communist propaganda written in Taiwan in the 1950s." The Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party received an award from the Asian American Journalists Association in 2005 .

The Nine Commentaries have been translated into more than 30 languages ​​and released on DVD. The series of articles was well received by prominent figures in the Chinese community abroad, and at the same time sparked a wave of withdrawals from the CCP and its affiliated organizations.

The Epoch Times website has a dedicated page where Chinese people who wish to quit the Chinese Communist Party and its affiliated organizations can sign up. The total number of those who have quit will be published in the Chinese editions of the newspaper and on the website. On June 10, 2019, the Tuidang Movement website reported 334,406,105 resignations.

Editorial attitude

People's Republic of China

The Epoch Times editorial stance is widely viewed as anti-communist and specifically speaks out against the Chinese Communist Party.

The newspaper takes up what it regards as propaganda of the Chinese Communist Party through its own statements and reports. She reports on groups opposing the Chinese Communist Party and other related topics. Among other things, this concerns news about Chinese dissidents, democracy activists and supporters of the Tibetan government-in-exile . The paper also covers Falun Gong, including civil charges against former Chinese leader Jiang Zemin for genocide , which most other Chinese-language newspapers overseas do not cover.

In addition, the Epoch Times publishes reports from news agencies, thus expanding its subject area to include general news. According to Zhao, unlike mainstream newspapers, the Epoch Times website serves not only as an extension of the existing print versions, but also as a template for all of their worldwide newspapers.

The Epoch Times operates outside of China, where Chinese foreign media outlets prefer to remain independent from the influence of the Chinese regime and publish content censored by the Chinese Communist Party. Nonetheless, it has become "the target of an aggressive elimination campaign or control" outside of China. For one thing, Chinese diplomats threatened the media for reporting content related to Falun Gong. On the other hand, advertisers of the Epoch Times were regularly threatened and asked not to support the Epoch Times in any way. Communist Party authorities are also accused of using militant methods against the newspaper and its staff. It was reported that they attacked Epoch Times employees and destroyed their computer systems.

The Epoch Times reported that the Chinese Communist Party put "hard and soft pressure" on printing facilities in Hong Kong in 2005, forcing the newspaper to stop printing after reporting on Tibet, human rights and Falun Gong. It was the first news medium to report on SARS. The Epoch Times was briefly banned in Malaysia after the government of Malaysia was pressured by the Chinese communist regime.

In February 2006, Yuan Li was attacked at his home in Atlanta , Georgia . In March 2006, four men broke into the Hong Kong office of the English-language Epoch Times. The unknown men smashed the glass door at the entrance of the building and ravaged the offices. Among other things, they destroyed office equipment and computers. Aidan White, general secretary of the International Association of Journalists (IFJ) said in a press release: “China's authoritarian leaders are systematically pursuing policies of intimidation and censorship against dissident voices and independent media inside and outside the country. This recent vandalism is part of a brutal vendetta that cannot be tolerated ”.

Chinascope reported in June 2008 that the Epoch Times Chicago office had received a threatening letter in May that contained a white powder. The letter said, "Long Live the Communist Party". The letter was also accompanied by a clipping from the Chinese Epoch Times that reported the arrests of pro-communist people. Those arrested attacked Falun Gong practitioners in Flushing , New York.

On November 19, 2019, four masked men in black broke into an Epoch Times Hong Kong storeroom when the factory door was opened to mail the newspapers. The men pointed batons at the workers and demanded that no one move. Then they ignited the stored newspapers with a flammable liquid they had brought with them and set two printing machines on fire. According to Cheryl Ng, spokeswoman for the Hong Kong bureau, this was an attack on press freedom in Hong Kong as the Epoch Times, unlike most other Hong Kong newspapers, truthfully reported the protests. She also viewed the intruders' clothing - dressed and masked like demonstrators - as the Chinese Communist Party's tactic of "using people against people." This is also supported by the fact that the attack was broadcast on state-controlled CCTV.

Relationship with Falun Gong

There are different characterizations of the relationship between the newspaper and Falun Gong. Some scholars have described the Epoch Times as the mouthpiece of Falun Gong; others see it simply as being positive about Falun Gong. A spokesman for the newspaper said that it is not speaking for Falun Gong itself.

The sociologist Zhao Yuezhi wrote in 2003 about the Epoch Times that the Epoch Times reports objectively and fairly about facts and truth and is independent of all political and economic groups. In this respect, it is based on the interests of the public. However, she confirmed that many of the newspaper's staff practice Falun Gong. Because of this, news about Chinese affairs and the Chinese Communist Party can often be negative, while Falun Gong is often presented in a positive light. In this regard, the Epoch Times could be seen as part of a de facto media alliance with democracy activists in exile.

According to a 2007 Associated Press report by Nahal Toosi, it is "technically imprecise" to say that Falun Gong owns the Epoch Times , even if many of the newspaper's staff are Falun Gong practitioners. However, some observers see the newspaper as part of a public relations campaign for Falun Gong. In the same report, Stephen Gregory, editor of The Epoch Times , stated, “It is not a Falun Gong newspaper. Falun Gong is a single person's belief. The newspaper is not owned by Falun Gong, it does not speak for Falun Gong, it does not represent Falun Gong. However, she reports on the persecution of Falun Gong in China. "

According to David Ownby, historian and director of the Center for East Asian Studies at the Université de Montréal , the newspaper was started by Falun Gong practitioners with their own money. He describes The Epoch Times in 2008 as a global newspaper that should be taken seriously as such, rather than judged on the basis of its association with Falun Gong. Ownby wrote, "The Epoch Times is a newspaper with a mission to cover human rights issues around the world, which makes it possible to have a significant focus on China and Falun Gong."

In 2015, Clement Tong wrote in a religious studies book contribution that the Epoch Times "served as a mouthpiece" for Falun Gong, even though there was no official declaration of membership of the movement.

Hong Kong-based Joseph Lian Yi-Zheng highlighted the Epoch Times' coverage of Chinese politics in the New York Times by saying, “The spiritual movement [Falun Gong] has been right many times, and theirs has been right many times Analysis of the power games in Beijing has proven to be correct. "

According to a report by RTL journalist Stefanie Albrecht, all employees of the Epoch Times in Berlin in 2017 were supporters of Falun Gong. "Every day at six o'clock in the afternoon a bell rang and everyone stopped their work, sat at their desks and meditated."

Assessments

Reporting on Falun Gong

David Ownby stated that the newspaper's articles were "well-written and interesting, even if occasionally peculiar in their coverage". According to Ownby, the newspaper has been praised for its support by Falun Gong practitioners and other dissidents such as Tibetans, Uyghurs, Taiwanese independence advocates and Chinese democracy activists and others, and criticized for "its bias" against the Chinese Communist Party. The newspaper is often judged on its association with Falun Gong rather than a thorough analysis of its editorial content.

James Bettinger, professor of communication at Stanford University , said, "Even if the Epoch Times is not affiliated with Falun Gong, it would not be considered credible because it always writes about Falun Gong from the same perspective and does not publish articles. who would investigate Falun Gong. "Orville Schell, dean of the Graduate School of Journalism at the University of California, Berkeley , said in 2005," It is difficult to vouch for its quality because it is not easy to prove its content, however, they cannot be dismissed as pure propaganda. "

Appraisals in Canada

In 2011, Stephen Harper , then Prime Minister of Canada, called the Epoch Times "a popular source of topics and events" for the Sino-Canadian community. It is the largest daily newspaper of its kind in Canada. Journalist Peter Kent called them "courageous, encouraging, considerate"; it is an excellent newspaper. After negative coverage of her in Les Presses Chinoises , she successfully sued their publishers for defamation.

In 2010, the Epoch Times successfully defended its coverage in the Canadian court system when Les Presses Chinoises ' publisher, Crescent Chau , sued the newspaper for defamation. For an extended period from 2001 onwards, Crescent Chau spread slander and misinformation about the Epoch Times and Falun Gong. The Epoch Times noted that Les Presses Chinoises was funded by the Chinese Communist Party. The Supreme Court of Canada ruled that the Epoch Times article "raises legitimate concerns and constitutes an opinion based on a factual premise." Upon reviewing the case, John Gordon Miller, a Canadian journalist and media professor, noted that The article in question "seems to have been reported thoroughly and professionally." Former Chinese diplomat Chen Yonglin , who fled to Australia , also expressed his view as follows: "It is clear that Les Presses Chinoises works with the Chinese embassy and consulate and here as a henchman and has become a propaganda tool for the Chinese Communist Party, it is very likely that the printing costs were funded directly by the Chinese Embassy and Consulate - the content appears to be largely produced and provided by the CCP. "

This case was included as a precedent in the Dominion Law Reports .

Stand against communism and state Chinese propaganda

Jiao Guobiao, a former professor of journalism at Beijing University who was dismissed after criticizing the Central Propaganda Department, believed that all of the Epoch Times' criticism of the Chinese Communist Party did not counterbalance the positive self-created party Could form self-propaganda. In addition, Jiao found that critical information about their country was withheld from the Chinese public.

The newspaper has also received praise from some political commentators and media experts. Describing the Epoch Times as a leader in political analysis of the Chinese regime, Ethan Gutmann said: “With the series 'Chinese Regime in Crisis', the Epoch Times finally arrived undisputed. Any China expert who wants to save face by pretending that the newspaper does not exist can continue to do so, at least for a short time, but he should have read it secretly anyway. "

The Epoch Times' credibility has been criticized by some scholars for its anti-communist biases, particularly on the Chinese Communist Party and mainland China issues and for being a "mouthpiece" for the Falun Gong movement. James To, a political scientist in New Zealand, described the Epoch Times as the "primary mouthpiece" of Falun Gong. He wrote that it "lacks credibility" despite the fact that the newspaper poses a "realistic threat to the CCP" in publishing articles about the party's negative aspects. Jason Q. Ng, a research fellow at the University of Toronto , mentioned that the newspaper's coverage of mainland China issues is "heavily biased against the Communist Party" and therefore should be "viewed with skepticism".

Epoch Times Germany and right-wing populism

Epoch Times Deutschland has been criticized by media analysts for their positive reporting on right-wing populist groups such as Alternative für Deutschland and Pegida . Meedia and the Austrian daily Der Standard described the Epoch Times as one of the “favorites” of Pegida supporters, they reported increasingly critically on immigration issues, refugees and Muslims. According to Deutschlandfunk , more critical articles against migrants are published compared to other national media. According to Die Zeit , in September 2017 the Epoch Times was the "leading medium of right-wing populists" before Junge Freiheit and PI-News . You serve the moderate AfD voters. On the subject of refugees and the diesel scandal , the Epoch Times articles would generate the strongest readership. Zeit journalist Benedikt Herber wrote that the Epoch Times managed to appeal to a right audience by selecting topics without clearly positioning itself. This enabled her to become profitable. New Republic accused her of making "common cause with European nationalists" with conspiracy theories . As an example, Stefanie Albrecht cited reports on chemtrails , pizzagates and children allegedly murdered by refugees, among other things : "The employees admitted not to check the facts."

Accused of influencing US elections

In August 2019, NBC News reported that Epoch Media Group was the second-largest advocate for the re-election of US President Donald Trump in terms of Facebook ad spend , beaten only by his own campaign. The media conglomerate also operates a YouTube channel that spreads conspiracy theories such as QAnon . The income of the affiliated television station New Tang Dynasty increased by 150% in the year Trump took office. Since these allegations became known, the group of companies is said to have taken measures to disguise the structures and cash flows underlying the election campaign. As a result, Epoch Times was banned from future advertisements by Facebook due to ad rule violations.

Based on reports from NBC News and actions taken by Facebook, the Epoch Times released a statement addressing the allegations. Stephen Gregory, the editor of the English-language edition, pointed out that for him it was not just about attacks against the Epoch Times, but against the freedom of the press. According to Gregory, NBC News' presentation is "a gross misrepresentation of our actual Facebook subscription ads," which "advertise the latest and greatest articles" to attract new readers. These advertisements refer not only to "political, but also [...] cultural and social reporting". With the Epoch Times increasing its coverage of topics like Spygate and other President Trump-related matters that other media outlets wouldn't, NBC would have labeled these subscription ads as pro-Trump ads.

Facebook now has special rules for advertising that require everyone "to describe content as political advertising if it concerns social or political issues". Gregory states that many other media outlets advertise their content in the same category, such as the New York Times and CNN . In addition, every ad must be approved by Facebook. According to Gregory, "every single ad went through Facebook's review process and was approved and placed in the appropriate category prior to execution." Therefore, according to Gregory, it makes no sense that Facebook suddenly blocked the advertising campaigns. In spite of several inquiries, Facebook did not provide any reason for blocking the ads.
