AS4611 XINHUANET CNNIC member
Unclassified APNIC
Summary
Xinhuanet
enterprise media legacy
The xinhuanet AS belongs to Xinhuanet, the online arm of Xinhua News Agency, China's state news agency. The APNIC record describes the holder simply as a "CNNIC member".
What it's used for
- Serving Xinhuanet's news websites and related digital media properties. This is a content and publishing network, not an access ISP.
Notable
- State-affiliated media: Xinhuanet publishes under the Xinhua News Agency, which is a state organ, so this is a government-linked media network rather than an independent commercial publisher.
- The routed footprint is small, consistent with a content operation whose reach comes from its audience rather than from address space.

Interconnection

Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-18, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 442 networks and 1,784 prefixes, as published 2026-10-19. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
