China Daily launched a U.S. edition of its newspaper in New York on Monday. From Xinhua:
Targeted at North American businesses and observers of China’s rapidly-changing economic, cultural and political landscape, China Daily’s U.S. edition will feature reports of local events related to China in the United States, according to a company statement.
The new edition will also have analysis and opinions from American and Chinese thinkers and business leaders, and personal profiles of noted contributors to China and America’s growing understanding of each other.
“As a widely recognized authoritative English media outlet in China, China Daily has been publishing in the United States since 1983, only two years after it was founded,” Qu Yingpu, deputy editor-in-chief of China Daily told Xinhua. “But it is the first time we publish a specialized edition for our readers in North America. It is a milestone for us.”
