36Kr

36Kr is a Beijing-based business and technology news outlet often described as China's answer to TechCrunch, publicly traded on Nasdaq and backed by investors including Ant Group and a state-linked venture fund. It focuses mainly on Chinese startups, tech, and economic trends rather than U.S. politics, and like all China-based media it operates within PRC censorship and content restrictions. Its coverage of the Trump administration is largely secondary to its core beat, tending toward neutral business reporting on U.S.-China trade issues but reflecting Beijing's general framing when tariffs or trade conflict are involved.
