A Chinese Communist Party mouthpiece ramped up its spending in Time, the iconic American magazine owned by left-wing activist billionaire Marc Benioff.

China Daily spent $656,885 to publish propaganda in Time from May 1 to Oct 31, according to disclosures under the Foreign Agents Registration Act. That’s up from the $649,603 that China Daily paid the magazine in the previous six month period. Since 2020, Time has published articles in its print magazine and online promoting Chinese culture, Beijing’s climate change initiatives, and China’s technology as part of a content-sharing deal with China Daily.

Benioff, a prominent Democratic donor who visited President Joe Biden with his family at the White House earlier this year, began an aggressive push into the Chinese market soon after buying Time in 2018. In 2019, Benioff’s software company Salesforce struck a deal with Chinese tech giant Alibaba to provide cloud computing services for the company in China.

Progressive News Outlet Launched With UAE Money Loses CEO, Burns Millions of Dollars on Fancy Offices

The progressive news outlet Grid, which launched last January with seed funding from the United Arab Emirates and a masthead of high-profile media talent, has reportedly lost its CEO amid internal confusion over its business model, while burning "millions of dollars" on fancy offices and a 50-person staff.

Grid cofounder and CEO Mark Bauman, who raised at least $10 million for the venture, stepped down earlier this month and will take on an advisory role with the website, according to Axios.

The news comes less than a year after Grid‘s launch. The media outlet, which describes itself as a "collaborative newsroom of beat reporters" that seeks to provide a "more-complete picture" of major news stories, was developed by registered lobbyists for the UAE, the Washington Free Beacon first reported in January.:snip:
