Global Times

What Global Times covers

Global Times is a news and magazine app focused on China, international affairs, business, sports, and culture. Its reporting is presented from a Chinese, state-affiliated editorial perspective, making it most useful for readers who want to follow how domestic policy, diplomacy, trade, and global events are covered by a major Chinese publication.

Content and reading focus

The app combines current news with opinion and analysis. World coverage gives attention to international relations and geopolitical developments, while the business section follows China’s economy and companies from a local viewpoint. Readers can also find sports, arts, travel, food, fashion, and other lifestyle stories, so the catalogue is broader than a politics-only publication.

• News and analysis: reporting and commentary on China and international events.
• Business coverage: stories about markets, trade, industry, and economic policy.
• Visual explainers: selected topics are presented through videos, graphics, and data-led summaries.
• Culture and lifestyle: features covering travel, cuisine, arts, and everyday life.

Who it suits

This is a reasonable fit for readers comparing national perspectives, tracking Chinese policy and diplomacy, or following China-related business news in English. It is less suited to anyone looking for a politically neutral news feed, since the publication’s editorial position is part of what defines the app. The section-based layout is practical for readers who prefer choosing a topic rather than relying on a general-purpose news stream.
