China Report

China Report (El Popola Ĉinio in Esperanto) is a state-run monthly magazine published by China Report Magazine Press (中國報道雜誌社), operating under the China Foreign Languages Bureau/China International Communications Group (CICG). Founded in 1950 as People’s China Report in Esperanto, it is one of China’s earliest external propaganda publications. The magazine transitioned from print to online in 2000 and simultaneously launched a Chinese-language monthly edition focused on political and economic reporting on China’s development. In 2006, the publisher adopted the additional designation “China Foreign Languages Bureau Chinese Periodicals Center” (中國外文局中文期刊中心), consolidating management of CICG’s commercial Chinese-language publications. China Report operates as part of CICG’s external propaganda apparatus, coordinating with regional media networks across Southeast Asia to shape international narratives about Chinese development and foreign policy, including co-organizing annual news selection events with media from Lancang-Mekong countries.
