Guancha.cn (Chinese: 观察者网; lit. 'Observer Net') is a Chinese news site based in Shanghai, founded by Eric X. Li, a Stanford-educated venture capitalist and a political scientist at the Fudan University. Guancha.cn has been categorized in an Amsterdam University Press study as a privately owned internet platform outside of state-controlled media and is noted for its pro-government and West-skeptical views, having been described as a nationalist website, with Agence France-Presse and The Conversation calling it ultranationalist.
