Global Times (Opinion)

Global Times is a tabloid published by People's Daily Press, which operates under direct control of the Chinese Communist Party. It is known for a nationalistic, often combative tone on international affairs, particularly on issues involving China's interests. Its stance toward the Trump administration is mixed: it has criticized Trump's tariffs and trade war with China as damaging to both sides, while praising administration moves—such as funding cuts to Voice of America and Radio Free Asia—that weakened U.S.-backed media critical of China.
