Chongqing ICC Signs Distribution Deal with Sri Lanka Mirror

On April 1, 2025, Chongqing’s Western International Communication Center (西部国际传播中心), or WICC, launched a dedicated channel for its English-language program Let’s Meet on Sri Lanka Mirror, a Colombo-based bilingual news outlet that describes itself as “a reliable, unbiased and reputed news company.” According to a report by iChongqing, a platform operated by the ICC, the launch marked the first overseas “station” of the WICC’s Let’s Meet Online TV platform, which the center says it plans to expand to additional international media outlets as part of its effort to build what it describes as “a new global communication network.” Sri Lanka Mirror carries WICC-produced content — including episodes featuring foreign influencers hosted by the center on organized visits to Chongqing — without apparent disclosure of the content’s origins in a Chinese state-affiliated propaganda operation. A full list of the center’s overseas media partners has not been made public.
