The 43-second film at the top of this page is the official trailer for New China TV, the English-language YouTube channel of Xinhua News Agency, one of the world’s largest news-gathering and distributing organizations. In less than a minute it sweeps across megacity skylines and terraced fields, high-speed trains and ancient opera stages, laboratories and ordinary street corners — a compressed preview of the stories the channel publishes every day. Since it appeared in August 2026, more than 2.3 million viewers have watched this short invitation, and the number keeps climbing. If you have ever wanted to see China through the cameras of the journalists who live and work inside the country, this trailer is the doorway. Here is what New China TV is, what you will find on it, and why it earns a place in your subscription feed.
What Is New China TV?
New China TV is the official YouTube channel of Xinhua News Agency. Founded in 1931 and headquartered in Beijing, Xinhua has grown into one of the largest news organizations on earth, with correspondents in every Chinese province and in bureaus around the world. Its journalists file in dozens of languages, and New China TV is the corner of that output built specifically for English-speaking viewers. It is where the reporting machine meets a global audience: a steady stream of short documentaries, explainers and news packages, all in English, all shot by camera teams with access that few outside media can match.
The trailer distills that identity into a single promise — discover more about China — and backs it with a fast-moving montage of the country’s faces, places and machines. It is a calling card rather than a commercial: an invitation to look closer.
