The Guangxi Autonomous Region Radio and Television Bureau is the provincial-level government agency responsible for managing broadcast media and internet audiovisual content in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region under the oversight of the National Radio and Television Administration (NRTA). The NRTA was established in March 2018 as a ministry-level executive agency controlled by the Central Propaganda Department of the Chinese Communist Party. The bureau operates under dual leadership from both the provincial CCP committee and the national NRTA, implementing policies for broadcast media regulation, content monitoring, licensing administration, and technology integration. Its functions include enforcing national broadcast propaganda guidelines, developing local management policies, monitoring media content for compliance with state standards, issuing administrative licenses to broadcasters, promoting digital technology integration, and coordinating international media exchanges within the framework of China’s broader media governance structure.

The Embassy of the People’s Republic of China (中華人民共和國) in Greece is China’s chief diplomatic mission in the country, located in Athens. The mission was established in 1972, following the normalization of diplomatic relations between the two countries. The embassy serves as the primary channel for political, economic, and cultural relations between China and Greece, and houses a Chinese Visa Application Service Center, a consular affairs division, and an economic and commercial office. In November 2025, the embassy condemned remarks by U.S. Ambassador Kimberly Guilfoyle, who suggested that Athens should consider selling the Chinese-operated Port of Piraeus (比雷埃夫斯港), where the Chinese state-owned shipping company COSCO holds a 67 percent stake.

The Institute of Party History and Literature (黨史和文獻研究院) is a ministerial-level institution directly under the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), established in Beijing in March 2018. It was created by merging three predecessor bodies: the Central Party History Research Office, the Central Documentation Research Office, and the Central Compilation and Translation Bureau. According to its official mandate, the institute is responsible for research into Marxist theory and CCP history, editing and translating key party documents and leadership writings, collecting historical party records, and what its website describes as “opposing historical nihilism” (反對歷史虛無主義), a term the CCP uses to describe any challenge to its official account of history.

The Pu’er Municipal Committee of the Chinese Communist Party (中國共產黨普洱市委員會) is the leading political organ of the Chinese Communist Party in Pu’er (普洱), a prefecture-level city in southern Yunnan Province. As with all municipal-level party committees in China, it exercises authority over local governance, personnel appointments, economic planning, and ideological work within its jurisdiction, operating above — and directing — the Pu’er Municipal People’s Government. The city was known as Simao (思茅) from 1950 — following the Communist victory in the Chinese Civil War — until January 2007, when China’s State Council approved its renaming to Pu’er. According to China’s Seventh National Population Census conducted in November 2020, the city had a permanent resident population of approximately 2.4 million. Pu’er is predominantly known as a major production center for Pu’er tea (普洱茶) and as the source of the overwhelming majority of China’s domestically grown arabica coffee — with the US Department of Agriculture recording that 99 percent of China’s arabica output originated from the Pu’er region in 2020–21.

The China International Development Cooperation Agency, or CIDCA (國家國際發展合作署), is a deputy ministerial-level agency directly under China’s State Council, formally established on April 18, 2018. The agency was created by merging foreign aid responsibilities previously handled by the Ministry of Commerce with input from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, with the stated aim of strengthening strategic coordination of aid. CIDCA drafts aid strategy, sets budgets, approves projects, negotiates government-to-government aid agreements, and monitors implementation, though the on-ground execution of projects remains with the other ministries. The agency, for example, manages the South-South Cooperation Assistance Fund (南南合作援助基金), established in 2015 and upgraded in 2022 to the Global Development and South-South Cooperation Fund,, meant to finance development projects in developing countries.

The Tianjin Municipal People’s Government (天津市人民政府) is the chief administrative body of Tianjin, a directly administered municipality under the central government of the People’s Republic of China. It oversees the day-to-day governance of the municipality, including economic planning, public services, urban development, and the implementation of national policy at the local level. As with all levels of government in China, the Municipal People’s Government operates subordinate to and under the leadership of the Tianjin Municipal Committee of the Chinese Communist Party (中國共產黨天津市委員會), which sets the political direction and holds ultimate authority over governance in the municipality.
