	The media, as the media of social communication and policy instruments in the People’s Republic of China, are a frequent subject of research today. The media system is presented in the context of the cultural and geographical specificity of a given country as well as political and civilization conditions that affect the distribution of media messages. The most influential features of the Chinese media system include: a low level of journalistic professionalism or state interventionism. The decisions of the PRC authorities and the programming line of the media in China pose a threat to media pluralism and independence. Literature review, references to scientific texts, translations of websites available on Chinese web browsers and a review of available reports can help spread awareness of censorship and the fight against harmful rhetoric still present in the media.
