Listed on the footer of Japan’s Chinese-language Chubun (中文導報) as the copyright holder, Chubun Sangyo Co., Ltd. (中文产业株式会社) is the publisher of what China’s Baidu Baike describes as Japan’s “comprehensive Chinese-language weekly newspaper.” The company has published Chubun since its September 1992 founding, distributing 80,000 copies weekly across four sections. A 2005 speech by the newspaper’s editor-in-chief, published in CNHubei, describes Chubun Sangyo as “Japan’s largest comprehensive Chinese enterprise promoting Sino-Japanese exchange” and a “cross-media group” operating multiple outlets including Chubun, “Lele China” (乐乐中国) television station, Japanese magazine CHAi, and the “Kentoshi” (遣唐使) website. However, the company also describes itself as a logistics firm delivering “necessary goods to necessary places at necessary times” with “low prices, high quality, and short delivery times,” creating an unusual structure where a supply chain operation owns a prominent Chinese-language media outlet.
