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.

Haiwainet officially launched on November 6, 2012, as the official website and new media platform of the overseas edition of the Chinese Communist Party’s People’s Daily (人民日報). The overseas edition of People’s Daily was first published on July 1, 1985. Haiwainet was established through Haiqiao (Beijing) Cultural Media Co., Ltd., which was founded on August 27, 2012, and later renamed to Haiwainet Media Co., Ltd. on March 1, 2014. In March 2018, allegations emerged suggesting connections between Haiwainet and All America TV Station in Pasadena, with claims they operated as “one team under two brands.” Haiwainet denied these allegations, stating it had “no relationship” with either All America TV Station or its executive director Zhang Huijun (張慧君). Seattle-based AAT Television Corporation (亞美衛視) also distanced itself from All America TV Station.
