Chinese World News Sources


Because the Internet is a worldwide network, readers from any nation can readily find Chinese world news online. This news offers a Chinese perspective on the events that are commonly reported by organizations like the Associated Press and Reuters. These papers offer a unique viewpoint on Western events, and American readers can enjoy getting to see their nation from an entirely different perspective.

Fortunately for Western readers, the largest Chinese world news organizations, such as the World Journal and China Daily, offer news in English. Sometimes, these US editions have translation issues, but the better papers have a native English speaker on staff who is able to translate for readability.

While China often censors its newspapers, this censorship is usually limited to commentary about the Chinese government; it does not normally affect the papers' reporting on events outside of China. No paper offers a truly bias-free perspective, but Americans and other Westerners can learn a lot from the Chinese newspapers offered here.
