Telling China’s Story, One Bottle at a Time
As China’s leaders gathered in Beijing to chart the country’s future amid economic uncertainty, state media sought to shift the focus — bottling up more critical coverage.
The Haicang District Propaganda Office of the Chinese Communist Party (中共海滄區委宣傳部) is the district-level arm of the CCP’s Central Propaganda Department (中央宣傳部) in Haicang District, Xiamen. The department exercises direct leadership over the media control system and is one of the main entities that enforces media censorship and control in the People’s Republic of China, engaging in propaganda work for both domestic and foreign audiences designed to increase support for the CCP. At the district level, the office supervises ideological work, controls local media and cultural output, and implements directives from the Xiamen Municipal Propaganda Office and the CCP Central Propaganda Department above it.
