China Media Group (CMG) has unveiled a high-profile initiative to broadcast its premium programs across Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) member economies, marking a significant step in cross-cultural engagement. Over ten acclaimed productions, including documentaries like The Heritage Guardian and current affairs series Hotline Beijing, are now airing on 22 major media platforms in 14 APEC members, from Australia and the U.S. to Thailand and Peru.
The showcase highlights China's efforts to share narratives on modernization, cultural preservation, and regional collaboration. Programs such as The Path to Modernization explore China's development strategies, offering insights for business professionals and academics tracking Asia's economic evolution. Meanwhile, cultural documentaries aim to resonate with diaspora communities and travelers seeking deeper connections to the region.
This initiative aligns with APEC's 2023 focus on fostering inclusive digital and creative industries. Analysts note the move strengthens media cooperation amid growing global interest in Asia's soft power, while adhering to cross-strait communication principles that emphasize cultural over political discourse.
