China Newsweek (中國新聞周刊), launched in January 2000, is a Beijing-based magazine published by China News Service (CNS). The publication produces editions in multiple languages including English, Japanese, Korean, Italian, and South Asian languages. CNS claimed the magazine has been “widely accepted by the mainstream society” due to what it called stories written with “keen, profound, incisive and original perspective.” The magazine gained some recognition in the 2000s for its professional reporting, including investigative coverage.
