Outlet track record
Xinhua / Global Times
Chinese state (Chinese Communist Party and government)
Xinhua and Global Times are Chinese state-run outlets controlled by the Communist Party and government, and they act as official or semi-official voices for Beijing. Their coverage of the Trump administration follows Chinese government policy. They have played up diplomacy, such as Trump's May 2026 state visit to China and Xi's 'constructive strategic stability' framing, while criticizing U.S. tariffs, export controls, and Taiwan-related policy.
Owned byXinhua News Agency is China's official state news agency. It is a ministry-level body that answers directly to the State Council. Global Times is a tabloid owned by People's Daily Press, so it falls under the Chinese Communist Party Central Committee's flagship newspaper, People's Daily. Wikipedia reports a 60–40 ownership split involving People's Daily Online and Global Times Press.
