China Media Group also known as Voice of China,[1] [2] is the predominant state media company by means of radio and television broadcasting in the People's Republic of China. It was founded on 21 March 2018, as a fusion of all state-holding media enterprises including China Central Television, China National Radio, and China Radio International.[3] China Media Group is under the direct control of the Central Propaganda Department of the Chinese Communist Party.[4] [5]

History

On 21 March 2018, the Government of the People's Republic of China announced that China Central Television, China National Radio, and China Radio International were to be unified to become the China Media Group after the first session of the 13th National People's Congress. That same day, Shen Haixiong, was officially named President of China Media Group.[6]

During the 2018 party and government reform in China, CMG was created to serve as a unified holding company of the People's Republic's national and international radio and television broadcasting services.

In 2020, several of CMG's assets, particularly China Global Television Network and China Radio International, were designated as foreign missions by the United States Department of State.[7] [8]

Broadcast scope

China Global Television Network and China Radio International broadcast in more than 40 languages.[9]
