China's official English paper



This week, China's 'Global Times', which covers mainly international affairs, also known to be nationalistic view, launched a new -English language edition and web-site.

The paper says, "the English edition of the Global Times will cover the world from a Chinese perspective, and reflects the standpoints and opinions of Chinese people on significant international issues"

It also notes on its website, "the Global Times has more than 500 overseas correspondents and contributing writers around the world and in addition the English edition has a team of 100 journalist based in China. "

Very impressive. 500 overseas correspondents...!!!
well, it just can't happen to any paper..,The Global Times is published by China's communist party to promote the leadership's particular views on issues such as Tibet, Democracy.

Anyhow, another good stop-by for me.
