This report discusses the media freedom in China. For the large part of history after the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) established its rule, the Chinese mass media played the role of the mouthpiece of the party. It was used as an instrument to extend the views and opinions of the party leadership, with respect to both domestic as well as foreign policy.
