The Qiao Ban holds an annual conference on Chinese-language media called the World Chinese Media Forum. These media outlets are registered in the United States by US citizens or permanent residents, but they might actually be owned by Chinese state-run companies.

Sky Link TV (KF) is another media outlet in the United States. Unlike SinoVision and Qiaobao, it is fully owned by Guangzhou Media American Co, Ltd. (2B Bi AiR a]), which in turn is owned by GZ Television Media (J N32 SRA al), a Chinese state-owned media outlet. SinoVision The group’s main TV outlet is SinoVision.
