DESCRIPTION
Each week The Current Digest of the Chinese Press presents a digestible collection of articles from key Chinese newspapers on such topics as politics, international relations, security, economics, business, public health, environment, education, culture and more.
Articles are selected from a wide variety of sources in China, all of which are explicitly targeted on a domestic – not foreign – audience. Each article is carefully translated into English, with great attention given to conveying "the sense and spirit" of the Chinese text.
The rise of China is one of the compelling stories of our time. Yet it can be difficult for a person with an abiding interest in China to get a broad-survey, comprehensive understanding of current events as reported by mass media in the People's Republic of China, especially if he or she lacks Chinese-language fluency.
Likewise, as the media in China are far from free, any China-borne attempt to represent a broad picture of China is bound to lack perspective and worse, probably has a specific agenda. The Current Digest of the Chinese Press removes such obstacles, offering readers, regardless of Chinese language ability, a much clearer (if more complex) view of the current Chinese reality.
