Business Papers
-
National Business Daily 《每日经济新闻》
-
Joint venture between Jiefang Daily and Chengdu Daily newspaper groups; publishes eight pages apiece on domestic and international business news. Based in Shanghai.
-
China Business News 《第一财经日报》
-
First Chinese business daily, aims "to be the most influential, authoritative and respected financial daily newspaper in China, matching the future of Chinese economic development, and equivalent to world-class papers like the Wall Street Journal and Financial Times" (and it has engraved head-shots to demonstrate its 'equivalence'). But it has a reputation for being boring.
-
21st Century Business Herald (21世纪经济报道)
-
Southern Media Group publishes this paper twice weekly. Lengthy articles and in-depth industry analysis. Head-shots are ink drawings rather than Journal-style engravings.
-
The Economic Observer (经济观察报) ￥2
-
Business weekly. Self described as "China's leading weekly for economy, politics, and culture," the pink color makes its FT-knockoff status pretty obvious. Regular special features are particularly well-done, with The Economic Observer Review of Books completing the cultured air of this paper. The online version charges a fee except for a small number of free articles (although the PDFs make it to the P2P networks pretty quickly, which says something about its reputation). There's also an English version with occasional translations of selected articles.
-
China Business (中国经营报) ￥2
-
Business weekly. Published by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, which gives it access to lots of data and research.
