Established on June 7, 1949, Jiangxi Daily serves as the primary mouthpiece of the Jiangxi Provincial Communist Party Committee, and is proud to claim that the calligraphy for its masthead written by Mao Zedong. The paper, which claims a circulation of 200,000 copies, began international distribution in September 1984 — though independent verification of these circulation figures is unavailable. According to Baidu Baike, citing the China Journalism Yearbook (中国新闻年鉴), the newspaper employs 656 staff members, including 216 editors and reporters. The newspaper, like all CCP-run outlets, states explicitly that it adheres to “correct public opinion guidance” and propaganda directives.
