The Chinese Communist authority has released an informative rap video especially for foreigners in order to inform them about 'the real China'.

The title, called 'This is China', was produced by a hip hop group called Chengdu Revolution. 

Its music video, shared by China's Communist Youth League on social media, has attracted nearly 50,000 times since it first appeared on June 28. 

The song, which was uploaded to social media site Weibo, aims to show that the media portrayal of China is completely different to reality. 

The song opens with: 'First things first, we all know China is a developing country, it has a large population and it is really hard to manage'. 

The video shows images of crowded areas and Beijing's infamous smog. 

When talking about accidents, the rap group tells viewers: 'We made progress and we're trying to prevent these from happening.' 

It also covers gun control saying: 'We have tight gun control laws and we don't fear gun slaughtering.' 

Wang Zixin, who is a member of Chengdu Revolution and the producer of the song, said he and his friends just wanted to express what they thought their country is like.

Wang, who also refers to himself as Chuckie, told MailOnline: 'When we formed the group in last October, what we hoped was to use an art form popular with young people to guide them to live a healthy life.'
