The Problem With Peach
AI anchors and AI-generated dramas are growing rapidly in China. But how far can a generative persona go before the illusion is broken? Meet Peach Fang.

On April 8, 2024, Liu Jianchao (劉建超), Minister of the International Department of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Central Committee, met in Beijing with a high-level delegation from El Salvador’s ruling party, Nuevas Ideas, led by Vice President-elect Félix Ulloa. During the meeting, Liu emphasized that the CCP is willing to “promote exchanges and cooperation” between the counterpart departments of the two parties, specifically highlighting media and think tanks as key areas for collaboration. This engagement aimed to institutionalize the sharing of “experience in party building and state governance” to ensure the stable development of bilateral relations. The meeting official report by the International Department of the CCP underscores a strategic shift toward direct party-to-party coordination to align the communication apparatus of Nuevas Ideas with the ideological and media frameworks of the CCP.
