Negocios Publicitarios Internacionales S.A. (NEPISA) is a Nicaraguan joint-stock company that formally operates Canal 6 (第六頻道) on behalf of the Ortega government. Although Canal 6 is presented publicly as a state channel, a 2022 investigation by the independent outlet Confidencial found that NEPISA is controlled by two close associates of the presidential family: lawyer José María Enríquez Moncada and Eduardo Germán Morales Cuadra, both of whom appear across a broader network of companies linked to the Ortega-Murillo family. The Nicaraguan presidency has never publicly explained Canal 6’s relationship with NEPISA, though an executive decree has placed the channel under presidential responsibility since 2012. NEPISA is part of a wider pattern of ostensibly private companies used to manage state media assets within Nicaragua’s consolidated, family-controlled media system.
The Republic of Honduras is a presidential representative democratic republic in which the president serves as both head of state and head of government, elected to a single four-year term by a simple majority. The unicameral National Congress (國家議會) holds 128 seats. Nasry Asfura of the conservative National Party was inaugurated on January 27, 2026, following a close election that was highly contested. A former mayor of Tegucigalpa with a background in the construction sector, Asfura signaled a rightward turn in foreign policy, pledging to restore diplomatic ties with Taiwan (Republic of China) and review the 16 agreements signed with China by his predecessor Xiomara Castro (希奧馬拉·卡斯特羅), who established relations with Beijing in March 2023, severing relations with Taiwan.

Nicaragua restored diplomatic relations with the People’s Republic of China in December 2021, severing ties with the Republic of China (Taiwan), and has since deepened cooperation across trade, infrastructure, and media.

The Government of El Salvador (薩爾瓦多政府) is a representative democratic republic established in its modern form following the independence from Spain in 1821 and the subsequent dissolution of the United Provinces of Central America in 1841. The current constitutional framework, adopted in 1983 during the Salvadoran Civil War, provides for a presidential system with three independent branches. The country is currently led by President Nayib Bukele, who assumed office in 2019 and secured a controversial second term in 2024, after which the administration pushed to remove presidential term limits. Under this administration, the executive branch has significantly centralized power, often bypassing traditional legislative and judicial oversight through the use of an ongoing state of exception. In the realm of foreign policy, the government has transitioned from its 2018 diplomatic recognition of the People’s Republic of China into a deep strategic partnership characterized by ostensibly non-reimbursable cooperation for major infrastructure. To manage its public image and counter critical independent media, the state utilizes a sophisticated communications apparatus, including state-owned corporate shells to fund and operate outlets like Diario El Salvador. This media strategy is reinforced by 100 percent alignment with the PRC’s “shared future” narrative, frequently broadcasting official Chinese diplomatic content through government-controlled channels to frame bilateral ties as a model of successful South-South cooperation.
Nuevas Ideas (新理念黨) is the dominant ruling political party of El Salvador, founded on October 25, 2017, by President Nayib Bukele.

Under the leadership of party president Xavier Zablah Bukele, the organization has emerged as a force that has “changed the map of political pluralism in El Salvador.” , securing supermajorities in the Legislative Assembly during both the 2021 and 2024 elections. Its platform, centered on the persona of President Bukele, focuses on security and infrastructure while rejecting traditional ideological labels.
