The Global Times (simplified Chinese: 环球时报; traditional Chinese: 環球時報; pinyin: Huánqiú Shíbào) is a daily Chinese tabloid newspaper under the auspices of the People's Daily newspaper, focusing on international issues from the Chinese government's perspective.

Established as a Chinese language publication in 1993, an English language version was launched on the 20 April 2009[3] as part of a Chinese campaign costing 45 billion yuan ($6.6 billion) to compete with overseas media.[4]

While the Chinese-language version strongly focuses on international issues, the English-language version reports more on China's domestic events.

The Global Times launched its US edition on Feb. 20, 2013. It is the first daily newspaper from China to launch a US edition simultaneously in Chinese and English. The US edition of the Global Times has 24 pages in its English version and 16 pages in its Chinese version.
