Taming News of a Border Tragedy
The catastrophe that struck the China-Nepal border last month is a case study in information control — and the clearest sign yet that Xi Jinping has rewritten the script for domestic media.

The Embassy of the People’s Republic of China (中華人民共和國) in Greece is China’s chief diplomatic mission in the country, located in Athens. The mission was established in 1972, following the normalization of diplomatic relations between the two countries. The embassy serves as the primary channel for political, economic, and cultural relations between China and Greece, and houses a Chinese Visa Application Service Center, a consular affairs division, and an economic and commercial office. In November 2025, the embassy condemned remarks by U.S. Ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle, who suggested that Athens should consider selling the Chinese-operated Port of Piraeus (比雷埃夫斯港), where the Chinese state-owned shipping company COSCO holds a 67 percent stake.
