Propaganda Office of the Chongqing Committee of the Chinese Communist Party
The Propaganda Office of the Chinese Communist Party’s Chongqing Municipal Committee serves as the chief office responsible for communicating the agendas of the local party leadership and overseeing state-run media in Chongqing, including the mouthpiece newspaper Chongqing Daily. It “coordinates party ideological work” throughout the city while simultaneously operating under multiple official names—including the Municipal Government Information Office, Municipal Press and Publication Bureau, and Municipal Film Bureau—allowing it to exercise comprehensive control over news, publishing, and cultural production. The department functions as the central enforcer of the party’s media discipline, ensuring all local outlets maintain proper political orientation in line with central and municipal level directives.
