China Internet Information Center (Chinese: 中国互联网新闻中心; pinyin: Zhōngguó Hùliánwǎng Xīnwén Zhōngxīn) is a state-run web portal of the People's Republic of China's State Council Information Office and the China International Communications Group.[1][2]
History
[edit]The China Internet Information Center was launched on December 12, 2000.[3] In 2018, Wang Xiaohui, who also served as a vice minister of the Central Propaganda Department of the Chinese Communist Party, became its editor-in-chief.[4][5]
During the Israel–Hamas war, the China Internet Information Center was accused of repeating disinformation about Israel from Iran's Tasnim News Agency.[6]
As of September 2024[update], the Media and Journalism Research Center evaluated the parent company of the China Internet Information Center, the China International Communications Group, to be "State Controlled Media" under its State Media Matrix.[7][8]
The China Internet Information Center regularly purchases ads on Twitter under the "China Says" mantra.[2]
