The China Press (Chinese: 侨报) is a Chinese-language newspaper published in the United States. According to a book Media and the Chinese Diaspora: Community, Communications and Commerce, The China Press, along with Ming Pao, Sing Tao and the World Journal, are the major newspaper of overseas Chinese community in the United States and in Canada.

Controversy

Chinese Communist Party Influence

A 2001 report on Chinese media censorship by the Jamestown Foundation cited The China Press as one of four major overseas Chinese newspapers directly or indirectly controlled by Beijing.[2]

“The dominant Chinese media vehicle in America is the newspaper," wrote the report's lead author Mei Duzhe. "Four major Chinese newspapers are found in the U.S.—World Journal, Sing Tao Daily, Ming Pao Daily News, and The China Press. Of these four, three are either directly or indirectly controlled by the government of Mainland China, while the fourth (run out of Taiwan) has recently begun bowing to pressure from the Beijing government.”
