Thailand Headlines

Written by Editors on .

Thailand Headlines (泰國頭條新聞) is a Chinese-language online news portal covering Thailand, established in August 2013 when it published its first news item on Sina Weibo. It is operated by the Thai Jiaranai Group (泰國亞洲大衆集團（大衆）有限公司), based in Bangkok, and led by publisher Guo Rui (郭蕊). In May 2023, Guo was arrested by Thai police on allegations of using her connections with a senior police official to demand 14 million baht from a Chinese suspect in exchange for dropping charges. She was released on bail. The outlet covers Thai politics, society, economy, entertainment, and overseas Chinese affairs across nearly 20 platforms including Weibo, WeChat, Douyin, Toutiao, Facebook, and YouTube, and, according to its own About page, claims a total readership exceeding seven billion views and a daily readership of over three million — figures that are difficult to verify independently and typical of self-promotional overseas Chinese media profiles. The outlet also cites a 2021 ranking by China News Service (中國新聞社), placing it second globally and first in Thailand among overseas Chinese new media — though China News Service itself operates under the CCP’s United Front Work Department, raising questions about the independence of such assessments. The outlet states explicitly in its own materials that it shoulders the responsibility of “transmitting China’s voice and telling China’s story well” — standard CCP external propaganda framing. It operates Thailand’s first Chinese-language online news broadcast programme. Its parent company also organizes the annual “Thai Oscars” ceremony, known in Chinese as the Thailand Headlines Person of the Year Awards (泰國頭條新聞年度風雲人物頒獎典禮), which has drawn official PRC diplomatic representation: the 2018 ceremony was attended by China’s consul-general to Thailand, who presented awards alongside Thai government ministers.

RTV

Written by Editors on .

RTV is a Bengali-language satellite and cable television channel that launched on 26 December 2005 and has become one of Bangladesh’s most popular television channels. Originally founded by Mohammad Mosaddak Ali Falu, a former Bangladesh Nationalist Party parliamentarian, the channel commenced test broadcasts on 1 December 2005 and officially began transmissions on 26 December that year. When Falu was jailed in 2007, RTV changed hands and went over to Bengal Group, with multiple sources noting that “a state intelligence agency was involved in this share transfer”. The channel is now owned by Bengal Media Corporation, part of the Bengal Group of Industries controlled by Awami League member of parliament Morshed Alam (মোর্শেদ আলম) and his family. RTV is headquartered in the BSEC Building in Kawran Bazar, Dhaka and primarily airs entertainment and news programming. The channel has expanded internationally, and has launched its own video-on-demand service called RTV Plus on 24 May 2020.

Chinese Embassy in Peru

Written by Editors on .

The Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in Peru (中華人民共和國駐秘魯大使館) is China’s chief diplomatic mission in the country. The mission was established in February 1972, three months after the two countries established diplomatic relations on November 2, 1971. Peru was the third Latin American country to recognize the People’s Republic of China, after Cuba and Chile. The embassy serves as the primary channel for political, economic, and cultural relations between the two countries. The embassy drew attention during the 2021 ‘Vaccinagate’ scandal, in which 487 Peruvian officials and elites were secretly vaccinated with courtesy doses sent by Chinese vaccine manufacturer Sinopharm before the public rollout. Medical journal The Lancet reported that 1,200 of the 3,200 courtesy doses were delivered to the embassy, which did not respond to questions about the doses it received.

China Federation of Literary and Art Circles

Written by Editors on .

The China Federation of Literary and Art Circles (中國文學藝術界聯合會, CFLAC) is a national people’s organization led by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), described officially as “a bridge and link for the party and the government to connect the literary and art circles.” Founded in July 1949, the CCP Central Propaganda Department (中央宣傳部) organized networks of cultural workers’ associations headed by CFLAC. Though characterized as a non-governmental organization, CFLAC is treated in practice as a government organization under direct CCP supervision, with over two million registered members and 49 regional branches. Its remit extends to literature, film, drama, fine arts, music, photography, calligraphy, dance, and folk arts, with branches extending to the provincial, municipal, and district level across China.

Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party

Written by Editors on .

The Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party (中國共產黨中央委員會) was established on July 16, 1922, at the 2nd National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party. Currently composed of 205 full members and 171 alternate members, it serves as China’s highest party decision-making body when the National Congress is not in session. The Central Committee is tasked with carrying out congress resolutions, directing all party work, and representing the Chinese Communist Party externally. Meeting annually at plenums typically held in Beijing, the Central Committee formally elects the General Secretary and Politburo, though in practice these selections are determined through private consultations by the current leadership. The body’s authority stems from its role as the institutional bridge between the broader National Congress and the party’s executive organs.

EurAsia Info

Written by Editors on .

EurAsia Info (歐亞時報社) is a Swiss-based online platform founded in early 2012 by Zhu Ailian (朱愛蓮) and headquartered in Zurich. Based on the visual layout of its website, it appears to be a news aggregation platform focused on European news for Chinese-speaking audiences. The navigation bar includes sections for different European countries (Switzerland, Germany, France, UK, etc.) and links to various international news sources, both in Chinese and other languages, including Swiss Info, DW, RFI, and BBC News. Operating from Bahnhofstrasse 100, the website is described as “Europe’s first Chinese-English bilingual magazine and newspaper” by the People’s Daily Overseas Edition (人民日報海外版). The organization aims to “tell China’s story well” (讲好中国故事), echoing Chinese Communist Party policy on external propaganda — with Zhu stating her mission is to be a “messenger between China and Europe” and to “pass China’s good stories and good content to the local mainstream society.” This language closely aligns with Beijing’s directive that Chinese media must work internationally to strengthen and innovate external propaganda. The organization’s “About Us” page furthers this alignment, stating that the outlet “closely aligns with the Belt and Road Initiative” and aims to “showcase China to the world.”  This mission is reflected in the organization’s extensive partnerships. In the 2017 version of its website, there are numerous “media partners” (合作媒体), including major Chinese state media outlets such as People’s Daily Overseas Edition (人民日报海外版), China News Service (中新网), People’s Daily (人民日报社), Xinhua News Agency (新华社), China Daily (中国日报网), as well as China Central Television (中央电视台). The platform has offices in Germany, Italy, Austria and France, as well as Beijing, Dalian, and Shenzhen.
