Global Times to Publish English Edition?
From a job posting on Danwei:
Global Times, a newly launched English language newspaper headquartered in Beijing, is looking for full-time, on-site native English-speaking copy editors and sub-editors to strengthen its international team.
The website administrator for globaltimes.com.cn has an “@globaltimes.com.cn” email address, as does the admin for huanqiu.com, the website for Global Times (环球时报), a Chinese-language newspaper. Mul introduced me to Global Times several years ago; it’s a good place to get the Party line on foreign affairs and military issues.
Here are a few scans of past editions, along with translations of the headlines:
May 14, 2007: “America understands China’s desire to build aircraft carriers”
June 11, 2007: “An American magazine admits it was wrong about the ‘The Death of Hong Kong’”
August 31, 2007: “The US and Taiwan clash over Taiwan’s attempt to join the UN”
October 12, 2007: “Russia caught 300 Western spies in the last four years”
October 26, 2007: “Online spies threaten China’s safety”
November 16, 2007: “Who is spreading false rumors about the Beijing Olympics?”
Should be an interesting gig for some lying, spying Americans!
