CCTV engagement report
@CCTV - 1.1M followers on X
Measured over 216 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on October 28, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 6 interactions against 1.1M followers, an engagement rate of 0.001%. Measured over 216 original posts, its engagement rate beats 8% of 21,185 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 2.4K times each, and 0.255% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.223% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 7.2 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 03:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 216 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 92% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 708 interactions, about 101x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #xijinping, #nationalday, #worldnews.

Compared with accounts its own size
CCTV's engagement rate beats 8% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,185 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 18% 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.
Where this sits in the catalog
At 0.001%, CCTV sits below the 10th percentile of the 212,567 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.025%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 03:00 UTC, and Tuesday 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.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 100% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 92% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | no effect | -2% to -1% | 42K |
- 100% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 92% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
- Its average post runs 261 characters, which falls in the 180 - 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 180 to 280 characters match the same accounts' other posts almost exactly.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

On this day 81 years ago, September 3, the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War achieved a great victory, reaffirming a timeless truth of history: justice will prevail. Yet today, Japanese right-wing forces are still attempting to whitewash the history of aggression, steadily seeking to break free from the constraints of its pacifist Constitution, and repeatedly testing the limits through military buildup and accelerating remilitarization. The ink on the Instrument of Surrender has never faded, nor has history's warning ceased to resonate. Dreaming of reviving militarism is no different from dancing on the edge of an abyss or drinking poison to quench one's thirst. Keep racing down this dangerous path, and the abyss awaits. Play with fire, and you will get burned. Those who seek to revive militarism will ultimately bring ruin upon themselves. #TiantanView #Japan #history

- What is CCTV's engagement rate on X?
- CCTV (@CCTV) has an engagement rate of 0.001%, based on the median interactions across 216 original posts from the last 30 days against 1,059,092 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.001%, CCTV sits below the 10th percentile of the 212,567 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 @CCTV have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 8% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (21,185 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 @CCTV post?
- Most posts go out around 03:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 7.2 posts per day across the measured window.
