Beijing Review (Chinese: 北京周報; pinyin: Běijīng Zhōubào; Wade–Giles: Pei-ching Chou-pao), previously Peking Review, is China's only national news magazineinEnglish, published by the Chinese Communist Party-owned China International Publishing Group. In 2006, it claimed a per-issue circulation of 70,000 and distribution "throughout China and 150 countries and regions worldwide."[2]

Beijing Review has two overseas branches: the North America Bureau in New York, U.S.A., and the CHINAFRICA Media and Publishing (Pty) Ltd in Johannesburg, South Africa. In addition to the English print edition, Beijing Review also publishes online editions in Chinese, English, French, German and Japanese.[3]

Overview[edit]

Founded in March 1958[4] as the weekly Peking Review, it was an important tool for the Chinese government to communicate to the rest of world. The first issue included an editor's note explaining that the magazine was meant to "provide timely, accurate, first-hand information on economic, political and cultural developments in China, and her relations with the rest of the world."[5] The U.S. Postal Service initially restricted distribution of the magazine but the U.S. Supreme Court overturned this policy in Lamont v. Postmaster General. In 1967 the Chinese authorities sent several issues of the magazine, then titled Peking Review, to East Germany.[6]

In October 2020, the United States Department of State designated Beijing Review as a "foreign mission" of China.[7][8]
