Chinese American Post

The Chinese American Post (中美郵報) is a Chinese-language weekly newspaper founded on July 4, 1994, in Denver, Colorado, by Chinese scholar Tu Xinshi (屠新時). According to Chinese sources, it is “the only Chinese weekly newspaper founded by Chinese scholars” in the American Midwest. The paper serves Chinese communities across the region, covering news about China, local community affairs, and Chinese culture, as well as visa services and advertisements from moving companies. Chinese media claim the newspaper has gained “international recognition as an overseas Chinese media outlet with a good reputation.” It has received official acknowledgment from several Chinese government entities, including the State Council’s Overseas Chinese Affairs Office (國僑辦), the Department of Press, Communication and Public Diplomacy within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (中國外交部新聞司), the official China News Service (中新社) — under the United Front Work Department of the CCP — and the People’s Daily Overseas Edition (人民日報海外版). During a visit to Colorado in December 2010, Shenzhen municipal overseas Chinese affairs officials met with Tu, praising his work in promoting Chinese culture and discussing potential cooperation opportunities. In February 2017, Tu Xinshi signed a partnership agreement with Huaren Toutiao (華人頭條), a digital platform targeting overseas Chinese communities. The collaboration aimed to expand the newspaper’s audience, particularly on social media.
