Beware the Tigers
As China’s provincial propaganda apparatus reaches into Europe through cultural diplomacy, even storied universities can find themselves unwitting partners in the enterprise.

Extremadura Television (Televisión de Extremadura) is the public broadcaster for Spain’s western Extremadura region, which officially began broadcasting on February 15, 2006. The broadcaster operates television and radio services providing news, cultural programming, and entertainment content. In 2023, the broadcaster joined a group of Spanish media in broadcasting “China-Spain Cultural Journey” (中西文化之旅), a series of programs marking the 50th anniversary of China-Spain diplomatic relations, organized between Spain’s Ministry of Culture and the China Media Group (CMG), the mega-conglomerate under China’s Central Propaganda Department.
