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.

Communist Party of Sweden

Written by Editors on .

The Communist Party of Sweden (Kommunistiska Partiet) is a far-left Marxist-Leninist political party founded in 1970. It emerged from a series of splits within the Swedish communist movement during the late 1960s, when pro-Beijing factions broke away from the mainstream Left Party over ideological disagreements. Headquartered in Gothenburg, the party was officially registered in 1977 and adopted its current name at its 14th Party Congress in January 2005. As of March 2026, it held no seats in the Swedish parliament and did not contest national elections. The party historically has roots in the Maoist movement but has since distanced itself from that orientation. Its official organ is the weekly newspaper Proletären, which it has published since 1970.
