Taiwan.cn (中國臺灣網)  was launched in July 1999 as a news website, operating under the State Council Taiwan Affairs Office (國務院臺灣事務辦公室), Beijing’s primary government agency for Taiwan policy formulation and implementation. The site serves as a key platform for advancing official Chinese positions on cross-strait relations while presenting itself as providing “authoritative reporting” on Taiwan affairs and boasting of being beloved by internet users on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. The platform is available in three languages—simplified Chinese, traditional Chinese, and English. Beyond standard news coverage, it produces targeted content, including “Two Straits Headlines”  (兩岸頭條) and “Two Straits Quick Commentary” (兩岸快評), which serve to disseminate Beijing’s messaging on Taiwan-related developments to both mainland and Taiwanese audiences.
