Xinhua

Xinhua News Agency operates as the official state news agency of the People's Republic of China, providing a comprehensive global information service. It produces and distributes diverse news content, including text, photos, and video, covering domestic and international affairs, business, and culture. The agency utilizes its global network, acting as a primary conduit for official Chinese perspectives.

Founded in November 1931 by the Chinese Communist Party as the Red China News Agency, it became Xinhua in 1937. The founding insight addressed the critical need for a centralized, authoritative voice to communicate party directives and shape public opinion, a purpose that continued as it evolved into the national news organization.

Its audience includes media organizations, government entities, and the global public. Xinhua's vision focuses on strengthening China's narrative internationally and providing extensive global coverage through its distinct perspective. It aims to be a prominent international news organization, influencing global discourse.
