On July 10, 2025, Pakistan and China agreed to enhance bilateral media cooperation and develop joint broadcasting projects to combat fake news and disinformation, according to Radio Pakistan — though it was not clear how the sides viewed these concepts, or how they intended to respond. The agreement emerged from a Beijing meeting between Pakistan’s Information Minister Attaullah Tarar and Cao Shumin (曹淑敏), a deputy minister of the Central Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the CCP. Both officials emphasized creating a “joint narrative against fake news” and promoting technical training and institutional collaboration between their state broadcasters. The discussions included plans for cooperation between China’s national state-run broadcaster, China Central Television (CCTV), and the national Pakistan Television (PTV), with Tarar highlighting how Pakistani state media entities were already promoting Chinese development stories, the Belt and Road Initiative, and bilateral cooperation to their respective audiences.

Euractiv Runs External Propaganda from China’s MFA

Written by CMP Staff on .

On July 11, the European news outlet Euractiv published an article labeled as “Advertiser Content” and authored by “Xin Ping Mission of China to the EU” that presented Chinese government propaganda arguing that Taiwan was legally and historically an inseparable part of China. The piece cited UN Resolution 2758, post-WWII agreements including the Cairo and Potsdam Declarations, and bilateral treaties to assert China’s sovereignty over Taiwan, dismissing any claims of Taiwanese independence as “ridiculous” and “dangerous revisionism.” While the byline claimed “Xin Ping is a commentator on international affairs,” this writer is not a human being but rather an official pen name used by China’s state-run Xinhua News Agency for opinion pieces, particularly on China-EU relations, and the author was explicitly identified as representing China’s Mission to the EU — making clear that this was official Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs propaganda published through Euractiv’s paid content arrangement.
