I reach out

Since December 2021, I have served as a contributor to China Daily - 52 million daily clicks. I also contribute to other Chinese media such as Global Times, CGTN and CCTV, the national television, China Investment and the Xinhua News Agency - many of them both in English and Chinese editions. From May 2023, I sometimes contribute to Wenzhou News. Please find them all here. For quite some time, I have been a regular columnist at the independent online daily, The Citizen, in India. Global Research often re-posts me, and since March 2020, The EurasiaReview (U.S.) publishes many of my articles, and so does the unique multi-media agency Pressenza. Finally, I am a columnist with the Danish Arbejderen and editorial writer at Transcend Media Service, TMS.
In contrast, no larger mainstream Swedish, Danish or other Western media show any interest in my analyses although most of them receive TFF PressInfo with everything I post as editor of The Transnational, on TFF Substack and here on my online home. And here are reposts elsewhere - at least those I happen to catch.
