Anhui International Communication Center

Established in 2021, the Anhui International Communication Center (安徽国际传播中心) is a state-run hub for external communication in Anhui Province. According to its official department profile, the center runs the Anhui provincial government’s English-language news website and produces multilingual news content disseminated through several external-facing social media accounts. The Anhui ICC is part of the Anhui New Media Group (安徽新媒体集团), which falls under the direction of the Anhui Provincial Party Committee Propaganda Office, according to its website. That slogan, introduced by President Xi Jinping in 2013, calls on Chinese media to give foreign audiences a positive picture of China and the Chinese Communist Party. The expansion of ICCs is part of Xi Jinping’s broader effort since 2018 to strengthen external propaganda by using provincial media resources to amplify centrally approved narratives about China.
