The news website Semafor launched in 2022 amid great fanfare, promising to “fix the crisis of trust in the news” by delivering a unique blend of fearless and insightful journalism.

Semafor announced this week it has partnered with Chinese Communist Party interests, including communist front groups, “dovish” business leaders, Chinese government officials, and a group that even describes itself as a “chamber of commerce led by the Communist Party of China.”
