Global Times
ChinaGlobal Times is a Beijing daily newspaper founded in 1993, published in Chinese and in an English edition, under the Chinese Communist Party. Its headlines centre on China by a wide margin, followed by the United States, Japan, Iran and Taiwan, with politics the largest share, then economy. Its stance reads as consistently favourable toward China and critical of the United States, with the sharpest criticism reserved for US policy and motives.
Political leaning and stance
Global Times is consistently favourable toward China, in a proud, defensive and at times celebratory tone, and it frames Chinese actions as defensive and legitimate while amplifying official sources. Xi Jinping is treated respectfully. The United States is treated critically, often through attributed expert commentary that presents US actions as politically driven, with neutral stretches in late spring and a brief cooperative, respectful tone toward Donald Trump at that point. The United Kingdom was covered favourably as a cooperative partner early in the period. 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 Global Times
Global Times was founded in 1993 and is headquartered in Beijing. It is state-owned, controlled by the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party through People's Daily.
