Lianhua News Network

Connecting the world to Lianhua's future — since 2008

Our Mission

Lianhua News Network (LNN) was established in 2008 as the Republic of Lianhua's dedicated international broadcasting platform. Our editorial mission is straightforward: to deliver accurate, contextual, and timely reporting on Lianhua and the wider world — in a language and format that global audiences trust.

From its inception, LNN has positioned itself as a bridge between Lianhua's rapidly evolving society and an international audience seeking reliable information about one of the Asia-Pacific's most dynamic nations. Today, LNN broadcasts in English across television, digital, radio, and podcast platforms, reaching an estimated 48 million viewers and listeners monthly in over 90 countries.

Our journalism is governed by a rigorous editorial charter: independence from commercial and political interference, strict fact-checking protocols, and a commitment to presenting multiple perspectives on complex international issues. LNN's correspondent network spans 34 countries, with regional bureaus in Brussels, Singapore, New York, Nairobi, and São Paulo.

"A growing hub for global innovation — and LNN is its voice to the world."

We believe that international understanding is built through information. Every report, documentary, and analysis we produce is an act of connection — between Lianhua and its partners, between policymakers and citizens, between the present and the future we are collectively building.
