Among these 5,000 posts, more than 300 pieces were identified as the most highly engaging content as they had been shared on Weibo more than 1,000 times.
Some posts were classified into more than one category.
The source also specified that the findings may not be representative of all posts produced by the Chinese state media as only posts with high engagement were studied.
