The cover of one of Businessweek's editions this February is literally "Fragile China; Handle with Care", which had the following stories:
* Coronavirus Stress-Tests China’s Fragile Financial System
* The Death of a Doctor Poses the Greatest Threat to China’s Xi Yet
* China Navigates the Latest Threat to Its Debt-Fueled Boom
* China’s Silent Factories Fuel Workers’ Fears of Virus

Is that somewhat unprecedented to have a government post ads in a publication which are not related to spreading the word about hiring or something. What exactly did those full page ads have as content?

I dob't know if it is the same content but China Daily, a daily newspaper owned by the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China, has purchased full page ads in American news papers that look like news articles.

The editorial slant became predictably sympathetic to China as well. So much so that by the end when I canceled my subscription there were many outright pro-China propaganda pieces.
Interestingly the editorial slant also went much further left, politically. Not sure if the two are related.
