Xinhua News Agency in China is the largest news agency in China. Its predecessor was Red China News Agency, which was founded in 193 1. At present, Xinhua News Agency is the largest news agency in Asia and has reached the scale of a world-class news agency. However, compared with the above four news agencies, Xinhua still lags behind them in development history, number of foreign subscribers and global influence.
In addition to the development history, due to various complicated historical, political, ideological and economic interests, the mainstream media in western developed countries and the vast third world countries rarely use Xinhua News Agency's news products, so the current world influence of Xinhua News Agency cannot be compared with that of the four major news agencies.
However, referring to the development of the Tass news agency in the former Soviet Union, it is certain that, with the continuous growth of China's comprehensive national strength and the continuous expansion of its international influence, Xinhua News Agency, as the national news agency of China, will surely step into the ranks of the top news agencies in the world in the near future.
