People's Daily is the official newspaper of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party, based in Beijing and founded in 1948; the English edition is published online. Its headlines are overwhelmingly about China, followed by the United States, Japan and Iran. Diplomacy and economy dominate the mix, with society and technology behind. Its stance is strongly favourable toward China and critical toward the United States and Donald Trump.
People's Daily's headlines are consistently celebratory and promotional toward China in every month measured, foregrounding economic and technological achievements, cultural influence and a constructive global role. No critical or skeptical framing of China appears. The United States is covered critically but not uniformly hostilely, with selection that highlights crises, legal disputes and internal conflicts, and Donald Trump reads as skeptical and critical. Only a short period and a few entities are measured. This is measured from headlines toward countries and persons; it is not a rating of accuracy.
Based on headlines from January 2026 to March 2026.

China accounts for the overwhelming share, with the United States, Japan and Iran far behind. Diplomacy and economy lead the topic mix, and security is unusually small, a strong home-country focus.
