Written by Editors on February 8, 2026.

The China Film Administration (國家電影局) was officially established on April 16, 2018, as part of institutional reforms that transferred film regulation from the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television (SARFT) to direct control of the Chinese Communist Party’s Central Propaganda Department. It is responsible for reviewing and approving all films for release in China, dictating “whether, when, and how a movie gets released.” China’s official Xinhua New Agency reported in 2018 that the restructuring would “strengthen the Party’s overall leadership” in ideological sectors and advance “cultural confidence.”

All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese

Written by Editors on February 8, 2026.

The All-China Federation of Returned Overseas Chinese (中華全國歸國華僑聯合會), or ACFROC, established October 12, 1956, operates as a “people’s organization” — or a state-sanctioned, mass-membership group under the CCP — within the united front system to influence overseas Chinese communities worldwide. Tracing its roots to Yan’an-era associations, ACFROC gained expanded authority in 2018 when the Chinese Communist Party Central Committee transferred responsibilities for “friendship with overseas Chinese associations” from the State Council’s Overseas Chinese Affairs Office to ACFROC. The organization maintains ties with diaspora communities through cultural exchanges, business networks, and friendship associations, working to mobilize overseas Chinese support for Beijing’s economic development and geopolitical objectives. Through its network of affiliated organizations and direct engagement programs, ACFROC serves as a primary channel for the party-state to extend influence among Chinese communities abroad while facilitating technology transfer and advancing China’s vision of national rejuvenation.

Written by Editors on February 7, 2026.

Radiodiffusion Télévision Sénégalaise (RTS), or Senegalese Radio and Television, is Senegal’s state-owned public broadcasting company operating radio and television services under the supervision of the Senegalese government. Established as the national broadcaster, RTS serves as the primary platform for government communications and official messaging in Senegal. In April 2024, President Bassirou Diomaye Faye appointed journalist Pape Alé Niang — previously arrested multiple times for critical reporting on the previous government — as Director General of RTS, signaling a shift in the broadcaster’s editorial direction. However, by early 2026, Niang faced significant internal opposition from workers citing financial crisis and management disputes. As a state broadcaster, RTS plays a central role in Senegal’s media landscape and serves as a key partner for foreign governments, including China, seeking to coordinate media messaging and build communication infrastructure in West Africa through bilateral cooperation agreements.

GRT operates multiple channels and digital platforms under CCP guidance, with capacity for multilingual broadcasting given Guangdong’s proximity to Hong Kong, Macau, and Southeast Asian markets.

Chinese Embassy in Russia

Written by Editors on February 7, 2026.

The Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in the Russian Federation is located at 6 Druzhby Street in Moscow’s Ramenki District and serves as China’s primary diplomatic mission in Russia. The embassy operates under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and plays a key role in managing bilateral relations between Beijing and Moscow, including coordinating propaganda and media cooperation activities. The current ambassador is Zhang Hanhui (張漢暉), who regularly hosts events with Russian government officials and media representatives to promote what the CCP frames as generational “friendship” between the two countries. The embassy actively facilitates Chinese state media operations in Russia and organizes propaganda activities including media receptions, cultural events, and coordination meetings designed to “lay a solid public opinion foundation” for China-Russia strategic partnership while “combating false information” — CCP terminology for countering narratives critical of Chinese or Russian government policies.
