The Wenzhou International Communication Center, launched in May 2024, is led by the propaganda office of the Wenzhou Committee of the Chinese Communist Party. The center works with the Wenzhou News Media Center (温州市新闻传媒中心), a local government-run media office founded in 2023 — and identified at the time as a “new milestone in the development of [the city’s propaganda work.” It is part of a growing national network in China of ICCs meant to strengthen China’s global communication by harnessing the strength of local media groups and propaganda offices.
