Xinhua is the Chinese Communist Party's official propaganda mouthpiece and is reviled by Tibetans, Uyghurs, Chinese dissidents and all who reject Beijing's totalitarian control over information. "By purchasing one of the most expensive and high profile advertising locations in America, the Chinese government is attempting to convince the world that it is open and democratic when nothing could be further from the truth," said Tenzin Dorjee, Executive Director of Students for a Free Tibet. "Xinhua is China's main censorship agency. It is anti-free speech, anti-democracy, anti-freedom and stands against everything Americans value and cherish. But in this information age, Xinhua's attempt to whitewash China's repression in Tibet, East Turkestan, Southern Mongolia, and in China itself, is doomed to fail."
