What makes it different

CRI grew out of China Radio International and publishes in dozens of foreign languages under China Media Group. For international cooperation, city promotion and cultural-tourism stories, one placement buys both a Chinese endorsement and a foreign-language channel.

What clears its desk

CRI Online's editors are most receptive to copy built around these situations:

  • Multinational campaigns and multi-market launches
  • Overseas investment promotion
  • Cultural exchange and international events
  • Cross-border CSR and public programmes

How it works

  1. Submit your draft
  2. We send it for editorial pre-approval
  3. Payment link issued only after it clears
  4. Typically live within five business days
  5. Declined at final review: revise and resubmit

Search indexing reference for this outlet: Excellent — historical experience, since actual indexing is decided by search engines and depends on copy quality and outlet weight. It is a reference, not a promise. Ranking position is never promised.

Questions buyers ask

Do I pay before the outlet approves my draft?

No. We send the draft for pre-approval first and only issue a payment link once it clears. If the outlet declines, no order is created and nothing is charged.

Can I choose which section the story appears in?

No. Sections are assigned by the outlet's editors based on subject matter. We can suggest one when we submit, but the decision is theirs. This is the main practical difference between a national outlet and a commercial portal.

How long does the whole process take?

Pre-approval normally comes back within one business day. Once you pay, publication usually follows within five business days, and we send you the live link.
