Written by Editors on .

The Information Office of the Guangxi Autonomous Region (廣西壯族自治區人民政府新聞辦公室) is the office directly under the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leadership of Guangxi responsible for external communication on behalf of the region’s government. Though the office operates under the People’s Government of Guangxi, it is effectively the same office as the propaganda office of the provincial committee of the CCP. Provincial-level information offices in China coordinate media relations and policy communication within the State Council system, but at the national level the State Council Information Office (SCIO), which was established in January 1991, is similarly linked to the Party’s Central Propaganda Department, and officials are often listed as having titles in both offices.

NDRC co-organizes major government initiatives like the World Artificial Intelligence Conference alongside multiple Chinese ministries, serving as a central instrument for implementing the Chinese Communist Party’s economic development strategies and maintaining state control over China’s economic planning and development.

Global Max Media Group

Written by Editors on .

Linked to the Chinese state and key to its outreach and propaganda efforts on the African continent, Global Max Media Group (Pty) Ltd (環球廣域傳媒集團) describes itself as Africa’s most comprehensive media company with the “most platforms, languages, and coverage,” headquartered in Botswana with operational centers in South Africa, Tanzania, and Nigeria. The company, launched in 2012, claims over 300 staff across Africa and China, operating in broadcasting, film production, digital media, print, and event organization. The group emphasizes its “close ties” (密切聯繫) with Chinese embassies across Africa and African embassies in China to “promote China-Africa friendship and spread Chinese culture and China’s voice” (促進中非友好和中國文化、中國聲音的傳播). It organizes cultural events like “Chinese New Year in Tanzania” (坦桑過大年) and works with Confucius Institutes on “Chinese Bridge” (漢語橋) language competitions. While positioning itself as serving local communities through charity work, the group’s stated mission of spreading “China’s voice” and extensive diplomatic connections suggest its role as a vehicle for Chinese soft power projection across the African continent. The group maintains active Facebook and LinkedIn accounts. It claims elsewhere to be the “largest Chinese media group in Africa,” with “nearly 10 media platforms of more than 8 languages in the African region.”
