All these are great books. I am sure they won't let you down.

Good luck!

Looks like it's true. The Party does like to control everything.

The Party does like to control everything.

Among all national secrets in China, this is the top one known to 1.3 billion people.

Another newspaper I've been following for their international coverage recently, Singtao from Singapore: (it's all in Simplified )

The language they use is quite easy to follow, though haven't come across any in-depth reporting yet, but enough to give me inspiration for the News-related word of the day thread...

I remember that two years ago I could download current and previous issues of 人民日报 from their site. Now I just can't find that option. However, there's a paid registration (supposedly, for getting newspaper in PDF). Hence, the question: do they now charge for accessing the PDF version? Just curious. If there's still a free option, please give me a link.

Reviving an old thread.

 

Searching for alternatives to the tired and tiresome 人民日报 of my student days and other major newpapers and online news sources, I recently came across this newspaper:   

https://www.thepaper.cn/   

It's called simply: "The Paper" (澎湃) and is published by Shanghai Oriental Press Co.   
https://www.thepaper.cn/about_paper.jsp  

 

I find it very readable:  it has a nice clean interface (no adds, no deranged animations!); covers a wide variety of topics including local/regional and international news, economy, lifestyle, media, books & arts etc.; has moderate length articles; is quite well written and is even humorous in parts.

 

Note: There's at least one more newspapers' thread with suggestions and links in the Forums:

When it comes to regular newspapers I mostly read 自由時報，it's not great, but I find it a good way to keep up to date with news from Taiwan.

 

I also quite like buzzorange, especially their tech section. It's a lot less dry than a regular paper. The "life" section of the website is very fluffy and clickbaity though.

Posting links to a couple of articles published by ThePaper on the results of the general election in Britain, which I think are well written and full of useful vocabulary and expressions. 

八年六任首相“走马灯”，斯塔默能收拾英国“烂摊子”吗？  

斯塔默带领英国工党时隔14年重新执政：能否重启增长？

(Interestingly, both articles end in a question mark, I share the feelings)
