![]() ![]() Public media cooperation: CRI Poland was a primary avenue for disseminating Chinese state media content in Polish, especially on social media, albeit to a small audience.Many local news outlets used international newswires in their coverage of China, and some continued to produce original reporting-aided by correspondents based in China-that was critical of the Chinese government (see Impact and public opinion). Thirty-four percent of Poles surveyed in one poll reported that their opinion of China had declined between 20 and in another survey less than one-fifth expressed confidence in Chinese leader Xi Jinping. Limited public opinion impact: In many cases, Chinese state propaganda messaging seemed unsophisticated or poorly tailored to Polish audiences.Increased influence efforts: Beijing’s media influence efforts in Poland increased during the coverage period (2019–21), with Chinese diplomats and China Radio International (CRI) Poland making attempts to shape media narratives on issues such as the 2019 Hong Kong protests and the COVID-19 pandemic. ![]() Report by: Ellie Young and Alicja Bachulska
