The Global Times is a national newspaper in China that appears in both Chinese and English. It is an offshoot of Renmin Ribao (People's Daily), the mouthpiece of the Chinese Communist Party. It focuses on foreign reporting and is known for its frequently nationalistic tone. The Chinese language edition first appeared in 1993; the English language edition in 2009. From 2005 to December 2021, the newspaper's editor-in-chief was Hu Xijin, who is regarded as a particularly aggressive "wolf warrior" and is harshly critical of the US and the West. In particular since the Covid-19 pandemic, the Global Times has frequently been a source of fake news and conspiracy theories.
