China Daily is the largest daily newspaper in China that is published in English only. Although state-owned, it is not an official mouthpiece of the ruling Communist Party, and is considered more liberal than the other Chinese state newspapers, but it is subject to state censorship. It is aimed primarily at foreigners living in China. Two-thirds of its print circulation is distributed abroad. There is also a US edition, an Africa edition, and a European edition. Some of the articles in the online version are available in Chinese and French as well as English.
