Euro Chinese Daily

Euro Chinese Daily (歐洲僑報), known in Romanian as Ziarul Chinezii in Lume, is a Chinese-language biweekly newspaper founded in June 2000 and based in Bucharest, Romania’s capital. Published in Chinese, English, and Romanian, the paper focuses on European economic and cultural news, with a particular emphasis on Romania, and claims to be the only Chinese-language newspaper held in Romania’s National Library. It distributes approximately 20,000 copies across Romania and some 20 surrounding European countries. A 2022 Freedom House report on Chinese media influence in Romania identified the paper as a member of the Global Chinese Media Cooperation Forum, a body overseen by China News Service (中國新聞社), a Chinese state media outlet — a connection the outlet’s own “About Us” page confirms. The paper was also among overseas Chinese media represented at the 2019 World Chinese Media Forum, jointly organized by the State Council Overseas Chinese Affairs Office and China News Service. According to its own account, the paper has covered multiple Chinese Communist Party congresses and has accompanied Chinese government delegations on official visits. The website bears an ICP registration, suggesting it is run by a China-based entity. The outlet’s own account describes repeated co-productions with China Central Television (中央廣播電視總台), consecutive invitations to cover China’s annual parliamentary sessions, and commendation from the Chinese Embassy in Romania — patterns typical of Beijing-aligned overseas Chinese media rather than independent outlets. Its 2019 World Chinese Media Forum submission, titled “The Importance and Communication Strategy of Telling China’s Story Well,” won a third-place prize, suggesting editorial alignment with core CCP propaganda directives. The outlet has active accounts on Instagram, X, and Facebook, and an ISSN registration (1582-1978) that confirms it is published in Romania as “Chinezii în lume.”
