Memo to Western media executives: If you do a photo op in the headquarters of China's state-run Xinhua news agency, be prepared for some surprises.

Associated Press denies China's claims it is partnering on social media 1428005140747

Gary Pruitt, chief executive and president of The Associated Press, learned that this week following a March 27 meeting with his counterpart, Xinhua president Cai Mingzhao.

During his visit, Mr Pruitt shook hands, posed for photos and toured Xinhua's social media operations centre. On Monday, Xinhua published a story saying "the world's two leading news agencies have agreed to strengthen co-operation in social media".

Xinhua's story triggered a buzz in media circles. Some netizens were aghast that AP might use its social media platforms to promote content from a government propaganda organ.
