Entity Type: PRC Media Outlet

Inner Mongolia Daily (內蒙古日報) is the official party newspaper of the Chinese Communist Party’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Committee, published in separate Chinese and Mongolian-language editions. According to the newspaper’s own 2025 social responsibility report, the paper was first published on January 1, 1948, and describes itself as the earliest provincial-level party newspaper founded in one of China’s ethnic minority regions. The same report states the paper operates under the direct leadership of the regional party propaganda office and organizes its content around the promotion of Chinese President Xi Jinping’s political theory and the concept of “forging a strong sense of community for the Chinese nation” (鑄牢中華民族共同體意識). The paper operates a multi-platform outreach effort branded “Solonga” (索倫嘎) aimed at audiences in Mongolia and Russia, and led the launch of the Inner Mongolia International Communication Center in 2026, a state propaganda initiative named as a priority in the regional party committee’s 15th Five-Year Plan.

Global Times (環球時報) is a tabloid newspaper founded on January 13, 1993, under the People’s Daily, the official newspaper of the Chinese Communist Party. Under its previous editor-in-chief, Hu Xijin (胡錫進), who led the tabloid from 2005 until December 2021, the Global Times became known for its often inflammatory commentaries on global affairs, which The Guardian at the time of Hu’s exit referred to as an “endless stream of quotable insults and invective.” Hu’s departure in December 2021 came amid speculation that the central leadership sought to impose stronger “political guidance” (政治導向) on the publication. The outlet remains more bellicose and nationalistic in its tone than most other “mainstream” CCP media, and sometimes seems to have more latitude to serve this attack dog role. Originally styled as a weekly titled Global Digest (環球文萃), the Global Times was given its present name in 1997, gradually increasing frequency until it became a daily in 2006. In 2009, it officially launched its English-language website. In its 2012 “About Us” page, the newspaper claimed to have over 500 correspondents in more than 120 countries and a circulation exceeding 2.4 million copies per issue. 

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.

Tibet Daily (西藏日报) is the official Communist Party newspaper of the Tibet Autonomous Region, first published on April 22, 1956 — making it the first daily newspaper established after the People’s Liberation Army entered Tibet. Published in both Chinese and Tibetan, the paper serves as the mouthpiece for the Chinese Communist Party’s Tibet Autonomous Region Committee (中国共产党西藏自治区委员会), with a stated mission of promoting Party policies, regional government initiatives, and what it describes as Tibet’s development and stability.

Guangxi Daily serves as the official newspaper of the Chinese Communist Party’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Committee (中國共產黨廣西壯族自治區委員會). Established on December 3, 1949, as the CCP Guangxi Provincial Committee’s organ, it relocated from Guilin to Nanning on January 22, 1950, following the province’s liberation. When Guangxi became an autonomous region on March 5, 1958, the newspaper became the regional party committee’s official organ. In December 2009, the Guangxi Daily Media Group (廣西日報傳媒集團) was established while maintaining the newspaper’s operations. The publication claims to be “the most authoritative and influential party committee organ newspaper in Guangxi” (廣西最具權威性和影響力的黨委機關報), guided by Marxist-Leninist principles, Mao Zedong Thought, Deng Xiaoping Theory, the Three Represents, Scientific Outlook on Development, and Xi Jinping’s important speeches. With a daily circulation of 230,000 copies, since 2005, it has become one of China’s first provincial party newspapers to manage its own distribution.

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.

China.com is a comprehensive internet media platform operated by Beijing Huanet Zhixun Information Co., Ltd. (北京華網智訊信息有限公司), launched in May 1999 as one of China’s earliest portal websites. Its two shareholders are Ningbo Yurui Investment Co., Ltd. (宁波宇瑞投资有限公司), holding 75.0002 percent, and Guoguang Huanqiu Media Holdings Co., Ltd. (国广环球传媒控股有限公司), holding 24.9998 percent. In July 1999 it became the first China concept stock listed on NASDAQ, followed by a listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange Growth Enterprise Market in 2000. Following a dispute over a Valuation Adjustment Mechanism, it was delisted from NASDAQ in 2011 and acquired by Guoguang Huanqiu Media Holdings in 2013. After a revamp in 2021, the platform established 23 multilingual sites across 24 languages, reaching 1.63 million overseas users. Its channels cover news, military affairs, and finance.
