The China Xinhua News Network Corporation (CNC, Chinese: 中国新华新闻电视网; pinyin: zhōng guó xīn huá xīn wén diàn shì wǎng) is a state-owned, international communication platform affiliated to the Xinhua News Agency.

CNC owns and operates a TV news network and new media services. They are regarded as an attempt by China to enhance its global communications, develop its influence abroad and counter foreign media. It plays a part in the Chinese government's attempt to show an international vision with a Chinese perspective.

History

Its opening ceremony came on December 31, 2009. The network began broadcasting CNC World on January 1, 2010, in the Asia-Pacific region and some European countries.[1][2][3]

Until June 2016, Chinese and English CNC channels were accessible by satellite in about 200 countries and areas in the Asia-Pacific region, North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
