Sixth Tone covers issues from the perspectives of those most intimately involved to highlight the nuances and complexities of today’s China and are a subsidiary of the state-funded Shanghai United Media Group. 

The organization has no registered commitments.

allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
