The ''Global Times'' () is a daily Chinese tabloid under the auspices of the ''People's Daily'' newspaper, focusing on international issues at a communist Chinese perspective.〔(Beijing-based newspaper Global Times launches English edition ), ''People's Daily'', 20 April 2009〕 The ''Global Times'' differentiates itself from other Chinese newspapers in part through its more populist approach to journalism, coupled with a tendency to court controversy.〔Christina Larson, (China's Fox News ), Foreign Policy magazine, 31 October 2011.〕 ==History== Established as a Chinese language publication in 1993, an English language version was launched on the 20 April 2009〔("About Us" ), ''Global Times''〕 as part of a Chinese campaign costing 45 billion yuan ($6.6 billion) to compete with overseas media.〔Sky Canaves, (''Global Times'' Breaches China’s Official Media Silence on Tiananmen ), ''Wall Street Journal'', 4 June 2009〕 While the Chinese-language version strongly focuses on international issues, the English-language version reports more on China's domestic events. Hu Xijin, the editor-in-chief of both Chinese and English versions, stated that he expected it to make a loss of 20 million yuan in the first year.〔Tania Branigan, (China defies media cuts and closures with new newspaper launch ), ''The Guardian'', 20 April 2009〕 The English-language version of the newspaper also has launched two local sections, (''Metro Beijing'' ) since September 2009 and (''Metro Shanghai'' ) since April 2010, in the two largest Chinese metropolises, in an effort to provide more information to local readers. The ''Global Times'' launched its US edition on Feb. 20, 2013. It is the first daily newspaper from China to launch a US edition simultaneously in Chinese and English. The US edition of the ''Global Times'' has 24 pages in its English version and 16 pages in its Chinese version.〔("Global Times launches US edition" ), ''Global Times''〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Global Times」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
