President Trump asked a reporter at his April 6th press event if she was working for the government of China, following a hostile question.
She replied that her company – Phoenix Media – is “privately” owned.
She’s lying.
The Hong Kong/Cayman Islands based Phoenix Media is actually owned in large part by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and by a former CCP propaganda officer.
As of 2018, Phoenix Satellite Holdings was owned by Liu Changle (37.1% of shares). Changle is a “former PLA propaganda official who is close to senior Chinese government leaders”.
Changle previously worked as a propaganda officer for China National Radio (then known as the Central People’s Broadcasting Station).
A further 20 percent of the company is owned by Extra Step Investments Limited, in turn owned by China Mobile Hong Kong, which itself is owned by the Chinese government-owned China Mobile.
Eight more percent of the company is owned by China Wise Investment Ltd, owned by the Bank of China.
This means at least 65 percent of the company is owned by the government of China.

I watched that exchange and it seemed that something was not right with her answers but I couldn't put my finger on it.
More and more citizens are waking up to the fact that the fake news accusations by President Trump are true.
Trump needs to fire more WH staff for poor vetting of ones allowed to enter WH and WH press meetings.
Sounds to me like another doofus excuse to try to cover for the chief baby throwing a tantrum at the podium. My God, we have dropped so far from knowing what strong leadership is that you guys actually think this blowhard is the real deal. Laughable, if it weren't so sad.
She was cleared to enter that room. Better look at their business process for fetting reporters.
Just like your comment.
Spies never start out with the answer "yeah, you caught me." LOL
