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.

The Guizhou Daily Newspaper Group (貴州日報報業集團) is the publisher of the Guizhou Daily (貴州日報), the official mouthpiece newspaper of the Guizhou Provincial Committee of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The daily newspaper serves to both mirror the policy priorities of the central CCP leadership in Beijing at the provincial level, and to promote the policies and priorities of top provincial leaders. The newspaper group, formed originally in November 1949, soon after the establishment of the PRC, publishes a suite of commercial publications, including Guizhou Business Daily (貴州上報) and Guizhou Metropolis Daily (貴州都市報), and like other traditional publishing groups under CCP control, has moved in recent years toward greater digitalization. In early 2019, the group merged with Contemporary Guizhou Publishing Media Group (當代貴州期刊傳媒集團), the publisher since 2011 of a number of periodicals, including Contemporary Guizhou (當代貴州), to form the Guizhou Daily Convergent Media Group (貴州日報當代融媒體集團有限責任公司), which has formed cooperative partnerships overseas, including with Tavuli News in the Solomon Islands.
