===Alleged ties to the Chinese Communist Party===
According to a 2001 report by the [[Jamestown Foundation]], ''World Journal'' was one of the four major Chinese newspapers found in the U.S. that "has recently begun bowing to pressure from the Beijing government." The other three which were ''[[Sing Tao Daily]]'', ''[[Ming Pao Daily News]]'', and ''[[The China Press]]'' had already been "either directly or indirectly controlled by the government of Mainland China".  The report referenced an instance of self-censorship by ''World Journal'' in its efforts to develop business ties with Mainland China in which Chinese Consulates in both New York and San Francisco have pressured the paper{{'}}s local offices to not publish ads related to [[Falun Gong]]. The New York office reportedly acquiesced in full and did not publish the ads, while the San Francisco office acquiesced in part by burying the ads among the paper's least viewed pages.<ref>Duzhe, Mei.
