[Media] Go Global 2026: A Forum That Made Headlines — Media Coverage Roundup
The Go Global 2026: Success in the UK and Beyond forum on 28 January wasn’t just a great event on the day — it generated significant media coverage across some of China’s most influential platforms, reaching an estimated 1.2 million+ people across print, digital, television, WeChat, Weibo, and app-based news channels.
Fifteen journalists from six media organisations attended in person, with three outlets conducting in-depth interviews with speakers and representatives on the day. Post-event, coverage was published across nine platforms and amplified further by two Chinese government authorities via their official channels.
Below is a full breakdown of where the event was covered:
| Media Outlet | About | Platform | Est. Reach (as at 9th Feb) |
