Inner Mongolia International Communication Center

The Inner Mongolia International Communication Center (內蒙古國際傳播中心) is a planned state media institution intended to centralize the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region’s foreign-language and overseas propaganda output. Its construction was written into the region’s 15th Five-Year Plan, published by the regional Chinese Communist Party committee, which called for strengthening “international communication” and “telling China’s story well” (講好中國故事), a term denoting domestic and international message control around positive portrayals of China and its policies and actions, archived source. As of February 2026, the center’s formation was reportedly underway, according to an article by the party secretary and president of Inner Mongolia Daily (內蒙古日報) published in the state-affiliated journal China Journalist (中國記者). The article described the center as building on Inner Mongolia Daily‘s existing “Solonga” (索倫嘎) brand, a set of multilingual print, web, and social media platforms launched in 1993 that the newspaper claims publishes in Cyrillic Mongolian, Russian, and English and maintains accounts on Facebook, X, YouTube, and Instagram. Inner Mongolia Daily reported its own circulation, web traffic, and social media follower figures for these platforms, which Lingua Sinica was unable to independently verify. The newspaper stated it was approved as part of China’s “second batch of national key international communication bases” in 2025, though the precise nature or authority behind this designation could not be independently confirmed from the source.
