The full-page advertorial was carried by The Hindu on July 1, on the occasion of completion of CPC's 100-year rule.
The report was also posted on the website of the Chinese Embassy in India and had an advertisement written on its top-right corner, implying that it is paid content.
Earlier, June 30, the publication also shared a podcast on its website to discuss CPC's rise and future. The podcast was recorded by Anant Krishnan, The Hindu's former China Bureau Chief and Associate Editor, and Rana Mitter, a China expert from the United Kingdom.
Thus, the claim that The Hindu published a full-page advertorial allegedly paid by China for the communist party is true.
