青年周末 YWeekend. The weekly newspaper. Punchy, irreverent stories, divided into two sections - media review, which looks at the stories behind the current news headlines, and a sort of web-style-arts section. It's not available at all newsstands, but look around for it on Thursday or Friday. It's got an orange-and-black cover. Or you could just read it online every week.

三联生活周刊 (Life Week). A bit like Time magazine. About half the articles in each issue are about things happening in China, half devoted to introducing Western culture and lifestyle to a Chinese audience.

广角镜, from Hong Kong. Basically, the magazine is designed for “policy makers”.

1) It is very direct, and un-euphemistic in its writing style.

2) It talks about “sensitive” political issues, such as the top leadership of the CCP, Taiwan, and China’s foreign policy in a very direct and objective manner.

3) It sums up some of the most important trends in the Mainland in a very concise manner.

4) It uses traditional characters (I’ve basically fallen in love with traditional recently)

There was a thread recently about articles that are available in Chinese and English. I searched for it but couldn't find it. I think Gato contributed some links that would make a good addition to this page.

I agree.
