As international pressure mounts on China, regime leader Xi Jinping is pushing for a media campaign to promote the image of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) in the global community.

During a high-level meeting with the CCP’s Central Committee on May 31, Xi called on CCP officials and state-controlled media to “tell the story of China well,” so that the “spirits and ideology” can be displayed as “the narrative and interpretation of the Chinese Communist Party,” according to state-run media Xinhua.
