Written by Editors on .

The People’s Government of Yunnan Province (雲南省人民政府) serves as the provincial administrative body for Yunnan, founded in December 1949. Under China’s single-party political structure, the governor answers to the secretary of the Yunnan Provincial Committee of the CCP (中共雲南省委). Originally established as the Yunnan Provincial Military and Political Commission, the institution has been renamed multiple times throughout its existence: becoming the Yunnan Provincial People’s Committee (雲南省人民委員會) in April 1955, then the Yunnan Provincial Revolutionary Committee (雲南省革命委員會) in August 1968 during the Cultural Revolution, before adopting its present name in December 1979. Information management and external propaganda (外宣) within the government are handled by the Yunnan Provincial People’s Government Information Office, which manages the official Yunnan Gateway multimedia news platform that features an English-language website targeting international audiences. Yunnan Gateway and the information office also now overlap with the Yunnan International Communication Center for South and Southeast Asia (雲南省南亞東南亞區域國際傳播中心).

Chubun

Written by Editors on .

Chubun, a Japanese Chinese-language weekly publication, claims to be “Japan’s largest and most influential” Chinese-language newspaper since its September 1992 founding. According to its own “About Us” page, the outlet describes itself as maintaining an “overseas Chinese perspective” with focus on Sino-Japanese relations and Chinese community news, while covering international affairs, economics, and culture. The publication says it has “evolved from print to embrace digital media” and collaborates with Japanese mainstream outlets to “bridge cultural divides.” Chubun characterizes its readership as spanning “academics, business leaders, students, and Japanese learners of Chinese” and asserts it has established itself as a “vital communication channel between China and Japan,” claiming to be “frequently cited by media across Greater China.” The site design of Chubun is oddly old-fashioned, full of content components including, as of July 2025, a Covid-19 survey along the left-hand margin. Much of the featured content has clear affinities with official state media talking points. Featured videos like this one, posted to the publication’s YouTube account, advertise overseas Chinese association activities that seem aligned with the PRC government.
