    THIS IS NOT A NEWS SOURCE

    Xinhua News Agency, or New China News Agency, is the official state news agency of the People’s Republic of China. A State Council’s ministry-level institution founded in 1931, Xinhua is the largest media organ in China.

    Xinhua is a publisher, as well as a news agency; it publishes in multiple languages and is a channel for the distribution of information related to the Chinese government and the ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Its headquarters in Beijing are located close to the central government’s headquarters at Zhongnanhai.

    Xinhua tailors its pro-Chinese government message to the nuances of each international audience. The organization has faced criticism for spreading propaganda and disinformation and for criticizing people, groups, or movements critical of the Chinese government and its policies.

    Their press freedom ranking is “Total Oppression” which means they publish whatever Dear Leader tells them to under threat of torture, imprisonment, or death. Not news.

      Feel free to point out something inaccurate in the article rather than resorting to ad hominem arguments.
