Beijing Rundschau

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The weekly newspaper Beijing Rundschau , formerly Peking Rundschau , appears in Beijing in several languages. It mainly carries official news about China and government documents and is the most important foreign-language political-theoretical organ of the Chinese government.

history

The English-language weekly Peking Review was founded in March 1958 at the suggestion of Zhou Enlai to replace People's China magazine , which was published bi-monthly from 1950 to December 1957. Most of the articles were written directly in English and Israel Epstein was part of the editorial team in the early days .

The first unofficial German-language edition of the Peking Rundschau appeared probably in early 1963. From September 1964, the German-language edition appeared regularly; numerous recipients were sympathizers and members of Maoist organizations in the Federal Republic of Germany . Issues of the Beijing Rundschau were also sent to listeners by Radio Beijing. A calendar was also published as a free annual gift. Like other international publications, the newspaper was printed on thin paper, sent by airmail and also reported on the activities of sympathetic groups. With the introduction of the pinyin inscription in 1979, it was given the name Beijing Rundschau .

Over the years the magazine has appeared in eight languages. The aim was global information and propagation by the respective Chinese government. Today only the Chinese and English editions are available in print. The magazine appears on the Internet in German, French and Japanese . The Spanish language edition was discontinued entirely in 2004, with a notice that readers should refer to the Spanish language edition of China Today .

publishing company

The Beijing Rundschau editorial team and translators have always been closely associated with the foreign language literature publisher and several other magazines. Today the Beijing Rundschau belongs to the Foreign Language Office together with the publishing house and the other magazines .
