SINGAPORE: A new English-language online magazine aimed at offering insights and perspectives on China's developments was launched on Tuesday by Singapore Press Holdings’ Chinese daily Lianhe Zaobao.
SPH's financial daily the Business Times will share selected articles from ThinkChina weekly, said Ms Lee Huay Leng, head of SPH’s Chinese Media Group, at the launch. Ms Lee added that the online magazine is an extension of Lianhe Zaobao's decision in 2003 to organise its China coverage into a separate section called Zaobao China.“Sixteen years on, China's presence and influence in this region and the world have strengthened and deepened, and it is even more important today to have a deeper and broader understanding of China.
Senior Minister Teo Chee Hean, who was the guest of honour on Tuesday, said China’s rise has captured the attention of global readers. However, the country's size and diversity make it a challenging country to define and report on.
