Claim 1: “TASS and Xinhua "back in 1956" marked the beginning of friendship and cooperation between the media of Russia and China.”
SINGLE SOURCE
While one web search result mentions China established diplomatic relations with other countries as early as 1956, there is no specific corroboration across multiple independent sources that TASS and Xinhua specifically marked the beginning of their cooperation in 1956. The provided evidence is too general to verify this specific institutional milestone.
