Outlet track record
Guancha
Chinese nationalist, state-aligned
Guancha is a Shanghai-based digital news and commentary outlet founded in 2012, operating as privately owned but with well-documented ties to Chinese state-connected institutions. Its editorial line is strongly nationalist and consistently anti-Western, amplifying narratives that favor the Chinese government's positions. As a result, its coverage of the Trump administration — like its coverage of prior U.S. governments — tends to frame American policies and leadership in an adversarial light.
Owned byShanghai Guanchazhe Information Technology Co., Ltd., founded by Eric X. Li, a Shanghai-based venture capitalist; organizationally linked to the Shanghai Chunqiu Development Strategy Research Institute, a think tank with documented financial ties to the State Council and the Shanghai municipal government
