The story

Its opening ceremony came on December 31, 2009. The network began broadcasting CNC World on January 1, 2010, in the Asia-Pacific region and some European countries.

Until June 2016, Chinese and English CNC channels were accessible by satellite in about 200 countries in Asia-Pacific region, North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Through its growth, it has been able to grow its media presence around the world. But because of this, many security agencies have been alarmed of its rapid growth.

In 2020, the United States Department of State designated Xinhua, along with other Chinese state media outlets, as foreign missions.
