China Greece Times

Written by Editors on .

The China Greece Times (中希时报), established in January 2005 by Zhejiang trader Wu Hailong (吳海龍) along with Jiangsu native Wang Peng (汪鹏), is a weekly Chinese community newspaper in Athens with a circulation of 3,000 free copies distributed primarily in Athens’ Chinatown area. The bilingual publication includes 24 Chinese pages and 8 Greek pages, serving Greece’s overseas Chinese community and local Greek readers. The newspaper maintains content-sharing agreements with Chinese state media outlets, including People’s Daily and Xinhua News Agency, as documented in the outlet’s own timeline showing formal partnerships established in 2005 with Xinhua and 2009 with People’s Daily. Such arrangements are part of broader Chinese state media efforts that have involved providing free content to international publications. But there are clear indications that the China Greece Times is in fact a front for the Chinese government. The paper, which operates the site China-Greece Online (希中網), claims support from the Chinese Embassy in Greece. But its dedicated news app, launched sometime after 2020, provides a contact e-mail from the official China News Service (CNS), the newswire directly under the CCP’s United Front Work Department. Wang Peng is also the chairman of the Greece-China Alliance for the Promotion of Peaceful National Reunification (希臘中國和平統一促進會), an organization linked to the UFWD. The publication has expanded its Greek-language content since 2015, which the outlet describes as aimed at “showing Greek society a constantly changing China.”
