Asia News Time

Written by Editors on .

Asia News Time is a Chinese-language daily newspaper founded on August 28, 1993, in Bangkok. At the time of its founding it was Thailand’s sixth Chinese-language daily. It is distributed across Southeast Asia and globally. The paper serves Thailand’s ethnic Chinese community. According to its Baidu profile — whose original source links are broken — the paper has also served as an in-flight publication for Bangkok Airways. The paper describes itself as having been established by “patriotic overseas Chinese investors” — language that suggests the potential for political alignment with China that could impact editorial independence. The paper’s ties with China are well-documented. Since August 2006 it has co-distributed the People’s Daily Overseas Edition (人民日報海外版) in Thailand, with a formal launch ceremony attended by then-caretaker prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra. In 2008 it served as a designated cooperation partner for that edition’s Olympic coverage. The paper has also served as a direct publication platform for official PRC diplomatic messaging. In June 2025, China’s ambassador to Thailand, Han Zhiqiang (韓志強), published an open letter to overseas Chinese through its pages. 

Thailand Headlines

Written by Editors on .

Thailand Headlines (泰國頭條新聞) is a Chinese-language online news portal covering Thailand, established in August 2013 when it published its first news item on Sina Weibo. It is operated by the Thai Jiaranai Group (泰國亞洲大衆集團（大衆）有限公司), based in Bangkok, and led by publisher Guo Rui (郭蕊). In May 2023, Guo was arrested by Thai police on allegations of using her connections with a senior police official to demand 14 million baht from a Chinese suspect in exchange for dropping charges. She was released on bail. The outlet covers Thai politics, society, economy, entertainment, and overseas Chinese affairs across nearly 20 platforms including Weibo, WeChat, Douyin, Toutiao, Facebook, and YouTube, and, according to its own About page, claims a total readership exceeding seven billion views and a daily readership of over three million — figures that are difficult to verify independently and typical of self-promotional overseas Chinese media profiles. The outlet also cites a 2021 ranking by China News Service (中國新聞社), placing it second globally and first in Thailand among overseas Chinese new media — though China News Service itself operates under the CCP’s United Front Work Department, raising questions about the independence of such assessments. The outlet states explicitly in its own materials that it shoulders the responsibility of “transmitting China’s voice and telling China’s story well” — standard CCP external propaganda framing. It operates Thailand’s first Chinese-language online news broadcast programme. Its parent company also organizes the annual “Thai Oscars” ceremony, known in Chinese as the Thailand Headlines Person of the Year Awards (泰國頭條新聞年度風雲人物頒獎典禮), which has drawn official PRC diplomatic representation: the 2018 ceremony was attended by China’s consul-general to Thailand, who presented awards alongside Thai government ministers.

TAIGUO.COM

Written by Editors on .

TAIGUO.COM (泰國網, literally “Thailand Network”) is a Chinese-language news portal targeting Thailand’s ethnic Chinese community, archived as active in May 2025. Launched in 2008 by founder Wang Xinyu (王新宇) as an online community forum for Chinese residents in Thailand, it was formally renamed Taiguo.com in September 2016. It is owned by Thailand Link Point E-Commerce Co., Ltd. (泰國領跑電子商務有限公司), a Bangkok-based company established in 2015 that, in its own promotional materials, described itself as having “a young operations team” managing the portal and an associated Chinese-language forum. It operates, according to an archived “Introduction” page, as a media website under Xin Tai Daily (新泰日報), an outlet with little public profile. The portal covers Thai politics, society, economy, tourism, and overseas Chinese affairs, and includes a dedicated embassy news section (使館消息) — indicating use as a channel for official PRC diplomatic communications to Chinese-speaking audiences in Thailand. WHOIS registration data shows the domain is registered through mainland Chinese registrar eName Technology Co., Ltd. with +86 China country code contact numbers. The domain has been renewed through 2032, though the site was unresponsive during tests in March 2026. The outlet maintained a Facebook account that appears to be inactive.
