FARA registrations does not necessarily equate with trying to influence Americans per se. The mainly Chinese news agencies and all their US employees are registered under FARA. The consumption of their news is probably primarily consumers in China and China-watchers. My guess is their main desire is to influence the Chinese populace only. During the cold war all Kremlinolgists would read Pravda to figure out the truth (pun definitely intended for the multilinguals). I doubt any Americans that read it were ever swayed by their coverage of blacks and civil rights. When atrocities against say blacks were highlighted, or bombing countries like Laos or Vietnam, the ensuing inevitable recriminations would always be on charges of whataboutism or disinformation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kremlinology https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kremlinology https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pravda https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pravda https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whataboutism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laotian_Civil_War https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laotian_Civil_War https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disinformation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disinformation “A Lie Can Travel Halfway Around the World While the Truth Is Putting On Its Shoes” - which ironically is misattributed to Mark Twain
