Global Times engagement report
@globaltimesnews - 1.9M followers on X
Measured over 371 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 30, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 9 interactions against 1.9M followers, an engagement rate of 0.001%. Measured over 371 original posts, its engagement rate beats 13% of 3,774 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 4.5K times each, and 0.2% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.235% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 12.7 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 43% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 371 posts sampled, 98% carry an image or video and 62% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 3.2K interactions, about 354x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #china, #opinion, #us.

Compared with accounts its own size
Global Times's engagement rate beats 13% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 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 19% 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%, Global Times sits below the 10th percentile of the 36,521 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.012%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 14:00 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.

According to the People's Daily, the disaster that struck #Gyirong Port on Wednesday was not caused by a glacial lake outburst, as some had speculated, but was instead a chain disaster that began with a high-altitude ice avalanche and evolved into a high-speed #debris flow before hitting the port, an expert said. https://t.co/kO3j5Ffdnw

American friend Ronald Sakolsky and Yin Yuzhen, a model worker renowned for planting trees and combating desertification, reunited and embraced tearfully with overwhelming emotion at an airport in Ordos, Inner Mongolia after 27 years of separation. In 1999, Sakolsky raised $5,000 to fund Yin’s tree-planting initiative. The young saplings bought with the donation have since matured into more than 50,000 full-grown trees. “She made a promise 27 years ago and she kept her promise. I never thought I would see her again. It is a miracle,” Sakolsky said. #GTontheSpot

- What is Global Times's engagement rate on X?
- Global Times (@globaltimesnews) has an engagement rate of 0.001%, based on the median interactions across 371 original posts from the last 30 days against 1,914,649 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.001%, Global Times sits below the 10th percentile of the 36,521 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 @globaltimesnews have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 13% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 accounts), which puts it in the bottom quarter 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 @globaltimesnews post?
- Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 12.73 posts per day across the measured window.
