SinoVision (simplified Chinese: 美国中文电视; traditional Chinese: 美國中文電視; pinyin: Měiguó zhōngwén diànshì; Jyutping: Mei5gwok3 zung1man4 din6si6) is a U.S.-based Chinese language television network. SinoVision has offices in Lower Manhattan, Flushing, and Brooklyn. It has correspondents in Washington, D.C., Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Houston.[1]
SinoVision was founded in 1990 by personnel dispatched to the U.S. from the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office and its China News Service to counter negative perceptions of the Chinese government following the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre.[2] SinoVision is formally owned by Asian Culture and Media Group, which also owns the newspaper The China Press.[2]
According to academics Larry Diamond and Orville Schell, "SinoVision’s content echoes China’s official media. The vast majority of its stories about China, Sino-American relations, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and other important issues for the PRC government are taken directly from official Chinese media outlets or websites, including CCTV, Xinhua, and the People’s Daily."[2]
