Xiamen Daily
Xiamen Daily (廈門日報) is the official organ of the Xiamen Municipal Committee of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)(中共廈門市委機關報). Founded on October 22, 1949, with its masthead calligraphy provided by Shu Tong (舒同), then a standing member and propaganda chief of the CCP East China Bureau, the paper is the sole broadsheet daily of the Xiamen Special Economic Zone. As a municipal party organ, it primarily relays local CCP committee announcements and policy directives, mirroring the People’s Daily on central political priorities. The paper suspended publication in 1970 and resumed in 1979, and has historically played a central role in cross-strait messaging given Xiamen’s position as the mainland city geographically closest to Taiwan.
