Fujian Normal University (福建師範大學), or FNU, located in the provincial capital city of Fuzhou, is a public university founded in 1907, making it Fujian’s oldest university and one of China’s oldest teachers’ colleges.

Written by Editors on .

The Philippine Cultural College (菲律賓僑中學院; PCC), known informally as Qiaozhong (僑中), is a Chinese Filipino educational institution founded on June 27, 1923 — making it the oldest Chinese Filipino secondary school in the Philippines. It was established under the leadership of Chen Yinglai (陳迎來), then-chairman of the Philippine Chinese Education Association (菲律賓華僑教育會), originally under the name Philippine Overseas Chinese Middle School (菲律賓華僑中學). The school survived Japanese occupation during World War II, reopening in May 1945, and has since expanded into a comprehensive institution offering kindergarten through university-level education across three campuses: a main campus in Manila, a branch campus in Caloocan, and a university campus in Quezon City. In 1976, under Philippine government education reforms requiring the “Filipinization” of Chinese schools, it was renamed Philippine Cultural High School before adopting its current name in 1988. In 2009, the school was designated a “Model Overseas Chinese Education School” (華文教育示範學校) by China’s State Council Overseas Chinese Affairs Office — a body that has since 2018 functioned as an external name of the CCP’s United Front Work Department. The college describes its mission as cultivating students who are “proud of their ancestral traditional culture” (以祖先傳統文化為傲) and prepared to contribute to both the Philippines and China.

Classic Media China Internacional SAC (經典傳媒中國國際有限公司) is a Lima-based company that describes itself as the branch of a Chinese company supplying audiovisual material to television broadcasters. Chinese state media reports mention the company, but its online presence is limited, consisting mainly of a Facebook page that links to a website. There is no record of it before 2023. It appears to operate in close alignment with Chinese state actors in distributing Chinese media content, mostly entertainment, across Latin America, particularly in Peru. It has worked repeatedly with bodies in Chongqing’s propaganda system. In November 2024, it collaborated with the National Radio and Television Administration (國家廣播電視總局), the propaganda office of the Chongqing CCP Committee (中共重慶市委宣傳部), and a culture committee of Peru’s Congress to launch a “China Time Slot” and a “China Audio-Visual Exhibition Month” in Lima. That same month, the company became the Lima liaison office of Bridging News (陸海財經), an external propaganda (外宣) brand of the Western China International Communication Organization (西部國際傳播中心). It also received a plaque designating it the Peru base of First Sight TV, a Chongqing video brand. In April 2024, it announced the renewal of a friendship agreement with EcuadorTV, Ecuador’s public broadcaster. Alongside a Chongqing film company, it also signed a cooperation memorandum with RTVC, Colombia’s public broadcaster.
