Navigating Risks From Chinese Apps
An investigation report by one of Taiwan’s leading independent media outlets documents the human rights risks posed by app services created in China.

Argentina’s Huaren Toutiao (阿根廷華人頭條) is the Argentine edition of the Huaren Toutiao (華人頭條) network, a Chinese-language media platform for overseas Chinese communities launched in Argentina in May 2015 by Fujian Kebi Information Technology Co. Ltd. (福建可比信息科技有限公司), a Fuzhou-based technology company founded by Huang Qiwang (黃琪旺), who identifies himself as deputy chairman of the Argentina Entrepreneurs Association and deputy chairman of the World Fujian Youth Federation (世界福建青年聯會). The network states it has signed operating agreements with Chinese-language media in more than 50 countries and regions, including Argentina, Canada, France, Spain, Italy, and Thailand, and has established partnerships with PRC state outlets including China News Service (中國新聞社) and China News Network (中國新聞網), which it says supply it with international news content. In April 2023, the Argentine edition signed a strategic cooperation agreement with the Henan International Communication Center, one of 16 such agreements the Henan center signed with overseas Chinese-language outlets that month.
