China Daily
ChinaChina Daily is an English-language newspaper based in Beijing, founded in 1981 and state-owned. Its feed is dominated by China, with the United States, Iran, Japan and the United Kingdom well behind, and it splits mainly between politics and economy, with technology and society as smaller strands. Its headlines are consistently favourable toward China and its leadership, and more mixed toward the United States.
Political leaning and stance
China Daily is consistently favourable toward China and Xi Jinping, in a supportive, authoritative and at times celebratory tone, with his statements reported as authoritative and without distancing. Toward the United States and Donald Trump the picture changed: headlines were critical and skeptical early in the year, then settled into neutral, business-focused reporting since spring, with only occasional critical framing of US policy. Iran is treated sympathetically as a victim of aggression, and Russia respectfully and cooperatively. The stance is measured from headlines toward countries and persons; it is not a rating of accuracy.
Based on headlines from January 2026 to August 2026.
Who owns China Daily
China Daily is state-owned and published under the Chinese Communist Party, headquartered in Beijing and founded in 1981.
