Global Times is a Chinese state-run newspaper known for its nationalistic tone and coverage of international news. Launched in 1993, it is published in both Chinese and English, aiming to present China's perspective on global events. The newspaper often emphasizes issues related to China's foreign policy and domestic affairs. The publication is part of the People's Daily group, which is the official newspaper of the Communist Party of China. While it provides news and analysis, critics argue that it reflects the government's viewpoints and may not always offer balanced reporting.
