What makes it different

China Daily is the country's national English newspaper, overseen by the State Council Information Office. For overseas investors, embassies and international firms, it is the Chinese outlet they are most likely to have read — the easiest Chinese endorsement to explain in an English-speaking market.

What clears its desk

China Daily Online's editors are most receptive to copy built around these situations:

  • Inbound investment and market-entry announcements
  • Bilingual campaigns aimed at overseas readers
  • International partnerships and MOUs
  • China operations milestones from foreign firms

How it works

  1. Submit your draft
  2. We send it for editorial pre-approval
  3. Payment link issued only after it clears
  4. Typically live within five business days
  5. Declined at final review: revise and resubmit

Search indexing reference for this outlet: Excellent — historical experience, since actual indexing is decided by search engines and depends on copy quality and outlet weight. It is a reference, not a promise. Ranking position is never promised.

Questions buyers ask

Do I pay before the outlet approves my draft?

No. We send the draft for pre-approval first and only issue a payment link once it clears. If the outlet declines, no order is created and nothing is charged.

Can I choose which section the story appears in?

No. Sections are assigned by the outlet's editors based on subject matter. We can suggest one when we submit, but the decision is theirs. This is the main practical difference between a national outlet and a commercial portal.

How long does the whole process take?

Pre-approval normally comes back within one business day. Once you pay, publication usually follows within five business days, and we send you the live link.
