Committed to helping the world know more about China and the country's integration with the international community, China Daily is regarded as one of the country’s most authoritative English media outlets and an important source of information on Chinese politics, economy, society and culture. It is often called the “Voice of China” or “Window to China.” China Daily also serves as important source for high-end Chinese readers who want to know more about the world. It is the newspaper most popular with mainstream readers in the West as well as being the most frequently quoted Chinese newspaper by international news media. China Daily is quoted at least 500 times a month by other media. For example, Reports from China, a weekly compiled by China Daily, has 100,000 subscribers in the United States.
