The Chinese communist regime’s overseas English mouthpiece media CGTN (China Global Television Network) just finished a two-month-long worldwide recruitment campaign of global media talents and social media influencers to produce pro-Beijing propaganda that “counters Western narratives.”

The state-backed broadcaster, which offers rich incentives to attract young participants, has been targeting Western university students, generating concern among international media and communities.
