China Media Management Inc

China Media Management Inc. (CMM-I傳媒諮詢有限公司), or CMM-I, is a Beijing-based entertainment content consulting and business development firm originally founded in 1997 by Anke Redl, a former producer with WDR/German TV who spent several decades in China, and Rowan Simons, who claims in his bio to have negotiated “the BBC’s first full co-production with CCTV.” CMM-I was reportedly established in Hong Kong in 1997 “as China’s first media information and event services company.” It registered its Beijing representative office on July 4, 2001, according to PRC business records. The company specializes in distribution and production support for international content owners entering the Chinese market across animation, drama, film, formats, and documentaries. CMM-I serves as a Chinese representative for major international television trade shows, including MIPCOM (an annual TV industry market in Cannes), the Asia Television Forum (Singapore’s regional TV market), and South by Southwest (a media and technology festival in Austin).

National and Kapodistrian University of Athens

The National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA), founded in 1837, is one of Greece’s oldest universities, with eight schools and 33 faculties offering programs in medicine, law, sciences, humanities, and engineering. The university maintains 800 bilateral agreements with institutions in 63 countries, including partnerships with universities in Asia, particularly China. In September 2025, NKUA hosted an international conference on Greek-Chinese philosophical dialogue, a China-led initiative for cultural diplomacy between Greece and China. The event was attended by Li Xi (李希), a member of the CCP’s Politburo Standing Committee, signaling Beijing’s strong interest in strengthening ties with Greece. The conference strongly emphasized Greece and China as ancient Western and Eastern civilizations, in line with the CCP’s more recent deployment of civilization-related political discourse, including through its Global Civilization Initiative.

Nya Dagbladet

Nya Dagbladet is a Swedish online daily newspaper founded in 2012. The outlet adheres to nationalist, science-skeptic, and non-partisan positions. It describes itself as humanist and ethnopluralist, and holds an anti-globalization stance. EXPO, a Swedish NGO that monitors right-wing organizations, considers Nya Dagbladet a right-wing extremist website that feeds conspiracy theories. The paper’s founder, editor-in-chief, and publisher is Markus Andersson, once a prominent figure in the now-dissolved right-wing extremist party Nationaldemokraterna (National Democrats). The outlet frequently publishes content promoting alternative cancer treatments, spreads anti-vaccine narratives and conspiracy theories, disseminates information about alleged health risks from mobile phone radiation, and promotes climate skepticism along with criticism of environmental policies. Other recurring themes include immigration issues, freedom of speech, and topics commonly criticized by the European far-right — including the policies of the European Union. When the Russia-Ukraine War broke out in February 2022, the paper also reported on a fabricated document circulating online and falsely attributed to the RAND Corporation, which spuriously claimed that the United States was driving the war in order to weaken Germany. In 2021, Nya Dagbladet applied to the Swedish Agency for the Media (Mediemyndigheten) for funding but was rejected. The paper published an article condemning the decision as politically motivated, and in retaliation, it joined forces with other alternative media outlets to publicly release personal information about the agency’s staff members, including their personal details, high school grades, and sexual orientation.
