5/5People’s Daily
Real News from the People’s Republic of China and the Communist Party of China. Trustworthy!

Daniel J Price · 6 Aug 2026
4/5Pretty good, technical flaws
The site is good except the headline search bar and keyword search system are clunky, and I saw a few typos on headlines in the English translation.

5/5My morning starts with People’s Daily
Almost every morning I start my news consumption with People’s Daily. I like to see the events of China and the world through Chinese eyes before I start seeing everyone else’s perspective. I also read Al Jazeera, the BBC, CNN, and EuroNews. The reason I read PD first, is that I know I will get a distorted version of it from anywhere else. I do find that the coverage of Xi Xinping is little bit too much sometimes. I would like to see more of what is happening with the populace than with him, but I understand the need to write about him. While the “news” is my primary interest, one feature that I really love is the Chinese professor reading poetry. It is beautiful and I listen over and over to each one you publish. I wish there were more written about Chinese literature. I recently discovered the author Jia Pingwa. What a treasure. I think Chinese literature is not available enough here in the US. Literature can change the lens through which we see each other. Please share more about the best authors in China. Thank you for reading this and thank you for enlightening me to many new places and things. I wish I could visit. Marguerite in Colorado, USA
