The 17th congress of the Chinese Communist Party (CPC) opened on 12 October. During the congress the representatives of the people must, in theory, appoint the next leaders of the country. However, in reality, they do nothing but ratify the decisions of the President and the Standing Committee. All the same, the Chinese media are required to follow the event closely, giving special attention to all information provided by the office of propaganda. This is clear when looking at images from the event.

Example of thirteen Chinese newspapers

Here is an example from thirteen Chinese newspapers, published the day after the opening of the congress: on the left, the same photo of President Hu Jintao; on the right, the same photo of the assembly; even the same title and subheading on each. This is a visual, concrete example of the Chinese government’s control over the press.
