The Chinese criminal defense lawyers’ team participated in the undergraduate course ‘China and the International Community’ taught by Professor AKO Tomoko, and engaged in in-depth communication and exchanges with both students and professor. Professor AKO Tomoko’s undergraduate student has summarized and synthesized the literature on investigations into Chinese state-owned media by American scholars. The article primarily analyses the current status of Chinese state-owned media abroad and specifically discusses training programs initiated since 2000 for foreign journalists, audience comparisons in developing countries and other nations, and conclusions drawn from the analysis of data on Chinese state media's social media platforms overseas. The article notes that despite Chinese state media's efforts to expand its international reach through various channels to promote its political agenda and pro-China sentiments, and gaining some favorability particularly in developing countries, especially in African nations, the numerous issues it faces render the prospects of its overseas operations rather pessimistic. Afterwards, Chinese criminal defense lawyers, and Professor AKO Tomoko, and her students engaged in in-depth discussions and exchanges on issues raised during the class. The topics of discussion covered various aspects including: the enthusiasm of personnel in Chinese state-owned media for reporting, the deep-seated reasons behind the favorable impression state media receives in developing countries, potential biases against Chinese state-owned media held by the American author of the article, the impact of social media on state media, the ongoing economic decline in China post-pandemic affecting domestic audiences’ trust in state media, how journalists in Chinese state-owned media navigate between their ethical responsibilities and the censorship system, and the different constraints faced by state media personnel at home and abroad.
中国刑辩律师团队参与了阿古智⼦教授开设的《中国与国际社会》本科课程，并与师⽣进⾏了深⼊的交流和沟通。阿古智⼦教授的本科⽣对美国学者关于中国国有媒体的调查⽂献进⾏了综合概括和总结。⽂章主要分析了中国国有媒体在海外的现状，并具体讨论了⾃2000年起中国国有媒体为外国记者开设的培训项⽬、在发展中国家和其他国家的受众⽐较，以及通过分析中国国有媒体在国外社交媒体平台的数据得出的结论。⽂章指出，尽管中国国有媒体试图通过多种渠道推动其海外扩展，以促进其政治宣传和对中国有利的积极⾔论，并在发展中国家尤其是⾮洲国家赢得了⼀定的好感，但其存在的诸多问题使得中国国有媒体的海外运营前景并不乐观。在此之后，来⾃中国的刑辩律师、阿古智⼦教授及其学⽣们针对课堂讨论的问题进⾏了深⼊的交流和讨论。讨论内容涵盖了多个⽅⾯：中国国有媒体⼈员对报道的积极性、中国国有媒体在发展中国家获得好感的深层原因、⽂章作者作为美国⼈可能存在的对中国国有媒体的偏⻅、⾃媒体对国有媒体的影响、疫情后中国经济的持续下滑对国内观众对国有媒体信任度的影响、中国国有媒体从业者如何在职业伦理和审查制度之间找到平衡、以及国有媒体的国内外媒体⼈⾯临的不同约束等。
