The outlet’s recent coverage includes Chinese automotive investments in Brazil, bilateral space cooperation initiatives, and trade developments, consistently emphasizing positive aspects of China-Brazil relations. While presenting itself as an independent news source focused on bilateral relations, the agency’s editorial approach mirrors patterns observed in other Chinese media partnerships in Brazil, where research has documented systematic efforts to “reframe China’s image” through local media collaborations.

Chinese Journalists Association of Taiwan

Written by CMP Staff on .

The Chinese Journalists’ Association of Taiwan (中華新聞記者協會) is a Taiwan-based media organization that received approval for its charter on February 8, 2012. The nonprofit association — which should not be confused with the more recognized Association of Taiwan Journalists (台灣新聞記者協會), a member of the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) — operates with a board of 25 directors and seven supervisors elected for four-year terms. The organization says that its purpose is to promote research in journalism and foster national social development by hosting activities such as journalism competitions, cultural exhibitions, and scholarship programs. However, the association operates in the gray area between professional journalism and advocacy for cross-strait media relations. While maintaining the institutional trappings of a standard media association, and promoting press freedom in its charter, the organization also defines its role as “promoting cross-strait and international news exchange,” suggesting alignment with China. The organization’s board participated in the “Fifth Cross-Strait Media Summit” (第五届两岸媒体人峰会) in Beijing in October 2024, where representatives affirmed that “Taiwanese people are Chinese people,” and emphasized the media’s role as a bridge across the strait. The organization and its leadership regularly appear in Chinese state media coverage, including from agencies linked to the United Front Work Department. The association has also sponsored events such as the “Liaoning-Taiwan Perspectives: Envisioning the Future” (遼台視界，鏡啟未來) — with programming that frames China as an economic opportunity for Taiwanese while subtly advancing unification themes.

The Global Youth Leadership Forum (GYLF) is a Spain-based international organization established in 2016 that positions itself as “the main global forum for inter-generational dialogue on the planet,” bringing together leaders under 40 with global figures including presidents, ministers, and CEOs to discuss international challenges. Led by President Jacobo Pombo, the organization has established partnerships with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, which announced GYLF 2017’s launch.

The forum claims to have gained participation from King Felipe VI of Spain. It reports that it has brought together close to 150 young leaders at international events.
