China Xinhua News engagement report
@XHNews - 11M followers on X
Measured over 401 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 31, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 17 interactions against 11M followers, an engagement rate of 0%. Measured over 401 original posts, its engagement rate beats 2% of 3,774 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 5.9K times each, and 0.288% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.052% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 13.4 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 40% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 07:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 401 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 45% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 779 interactions, about 46x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #xinhuanews, #china, #rescue.

Compared with accounts its own size
China Xinhua News's engagement rate beats 2% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 26% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

At under 0.001%, China Xinhua News sits below the 10th percentile of the 36,759 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.012%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 07:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

A tourist filming the scenery in Gyirong County, China's Xizang Autonomous Region, accidentally captured the moment of a high-altitude glacier collapse in Nepal. Kang Shichang, director of the Institute of Mountain Hazards and Environment under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, confirmed that the location of the glacier collapse in the video matches that shown in remote-sensing imagery and it's believed to show the glacier collapse that triggered the mudslide at Gyirong Port. #China #Xizang #Nepal #Gyirong #Mudslide #IceCollapse

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 17 interactions against 11M followers, an engagement rate of 0%. Measured over 401 original posts, its engagement rate beats 2% of 3,774 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 5.9K times each, and 0.288% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.052% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 13.4 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 40% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 07:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 401 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 45% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 779 interactions, about 46x its own typical post.

- What is China Xinhua News's engagement rate on X?
- China Xinhua News (@XHNews) has an engagement rate of 0%, based on the median interactions across 401 original posts from the last 30 days against 11,383,322 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At under 0.001%, China Xinhua News sits below the 10th percentile of the 36,759 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @XHNews have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 2% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 accounts), which puts it in the bottom 10% for its size group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @XHNews post?
- Most posts go out around 07:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 13.37 posts per day across the measured window.
