Ahead of inauguration, China warns state media: Be nice to Donald Trump, or else

Donald Trump is no fan of China. In a December speech, he accused the country of “massive theft of intellectual property, putting unfair taxes on our companies, not helping with the menace of North Korea like they should, and the at-will and massive devaluation of their currency and product dumping.”

“Other than that,” he said, “they’ve been wonderful, right?”

Since the election, Trump has taken aim at the “One China” policy (he even took a call from Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen, though the United States does not have diplomatic relations with the country). His secretary of state pick said that he'd deny China access to its man-made islands in the disputed South China Sea. Trump has vowed higher tariffs on incoming goods from China and said the country's policies make it harder for American companies to compete (the gravest sin of all, for Trump).

But Chinese leaders want to play nice, at least for today.

Officials have ordered state media to cover Trump's inauguration gently, writing that “unauthorized criticism of Trump’s words or actions is not allowed.” The directive, leaked by the China Digital Times, warns that Trump's big day should “be handled with care” and that editors should “adhere strictly to the unified message from centrally controlled media.” Media outlets have been told to run content by Xinhua News Agency, the state's official news agency.

So far, Xinhua's Trump coverage has been understated, at least on its English-language news site. There are two homepage stories that deal with the incoming president (“U.S. President-elect Trump 'going to fail': Soros” and "Japan's Abe stresses U.S. alliance, calls for constitutional change in policy speech"), buried about halfway down the page. In another article, Xinhua affirms that China is not bothered by the presence of a Taiwanese delegation at today's inauguration. The Foreign Ministry “dismissed Taiwan's sending of a self-styled delegation to President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration ceremony, saying that the move was aimed to disrupt China-U.S. relations.”

Beijing-based political commentator Zha Jianguo told Radio Free Asia that the memo is probably part of a larger effort to quell bilateral tensions. “The subject of Trump is a highly sensitive one for all Chinese media organizations, because of the uncertainty around the relationship with the U.S.," Zha told RFA. “The Chinese government wants to wait and see what happens next, make its observations, and it doesn't want any trouble starting in the rank and file.”

Activist Huang Xiaomin told RFA that Beijing sees Trump as a “threat to their power.”

“They are tightening controls over the media and public opinion to smooth over the recent confrontations, ridicule and uncertainties with an excess of official diplomacy, to try to repair the relationship, not just with the U.S., but with Taiwan as well,” he said.

During the election, Trump was something of a celebrity in China. But since the election, a lot of his fans have soured.

“Trump fan or a patriotic Chinese, you can’t be both,” one person told the South China Morning Post. “I have changed my opinion greatly,” Tony Liang said. “His unprofessional foreign policy statements have been very disappointing, even outrageous.”

Ministry of Truth: Handle Trump Carefully

The following censorship instructions, issued to the media by government authorities, have been leaked and distributed online. The name of the issuing body has been omitted to protect the source.

For all media, any recent reports about the United States must strictly conform with the central media; any news relating to China-U.S. relations must use Xinhua copy. Any news about Trump must be handled carefully; unauthorized criticism of Trump’s words or actions is not allowed. (January 13, 2017) [Chinese]

Donald Trump will be sworn in as president of the United States on Friday, January 20. Since his election in November, tensions between his transition team and the Chinese government have flared over a number of issues including Taiwan, trade, and the South China Sea.

China Warns State Media To Cover Trump's Inauguration 'With Care'

Officials in China ordered state-run media to be careful in covering President Donald Trump's inauguration, the Washington Post reported Friday. Propaganda officials warned all of the country's media outlets that any unauthorized criticism of Trump's "words or actions" would not be tolerated.

Editors of media outlets were instructed to keep coverage of the presidential inauguration in line with the "unified message from centrally controlled media" and through the state-run Xinhua News Agency.

“Unauthorized criticism of Trump’s words or actions is not allowed," media outlets were told, according to leaked documents released by the China Digital Times Wednesday.

Xinhua's website was relatively guarded in covering Trump's inauguration Friday. The only seemingly negative headline was "Trump To Eliminate the Climate Action Plan," which laid out actions to tackle climate change introduced by Barack Obama in June 2013. Trump has pledged to revive the coal industry in the U.S.

China, the largest producer of greenhouse gasses in the world, recently championed its role in improving the environment by reducing carbon emissions. The government ordered the suspension of construction of 104 new coal-powered power plants to curb air pollution in the country, Reuters reported Tuesday. China said it would instead invest $365 billion in renewable energy alternatives such as hydro, solar and nuclear plants, which would provide 12 millions jobs to the citizens where the coal plants were halted.

“The subject of Trump is a highly sensitive one for all Chinese media organizations because of the uncertainty around the relationship with the U.S.," Zha Jianguo, a political analyst in Beijing, told Radio Free Asia. “The Chinese government wants to wait and see what happens next, make its observations, and it doesn't want any trouble starting in the rank-and-file.”

During the campaign, Trump called climate change a "hoax" created by the Chinese government so that manufacturers in the U.S. would become less competitive with their Chinese counterparts.

The attitude Beijing has shown toward Trump's presidential victory has been contentious at times. After Trump continually threatened to raise import taxes on Chinese goods in the U.S. throughout his campaign, the Chinese government reacted furiously when Trump took a congratulatory phone call from Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen on Dec. 2. A U.S. president hasn't been in contact with a leader in Taiwan since 1979 after re-establishing formal relations with the mainland Chinese government. China does not acknowledge the existence of Taiwan's democratic government and still considers the island a rebellious province.

China has the same treatment with Shinzo Abe. To black out their enemy in Chinese people's mind. Have no thoughts about and would feel nothing to kill and eliminate.
