Xinhua News Agency was created in 1931.

China Xinhua News Network Corporation was created on 2009-12-31.

Xinhua is the official news agency of the government of the People's Republic of China (PRC). It's name literally means "New China News Agency".

Despite the fact that it is government controlled, it is considered one of the key primary sources of information in China. While its stories may be written in a flat, factual manner, its 10,000 or staff members mean that it is able to cover China's news in much more depth than most news agencies.

Those readers looking for a independent news source or stories with more opinion, should look at other news sources such as China Post (published in Taiwan), South China Morning Post (published in Hong Kong) or international internet news sites that use journalists within China such as Asian Business Daily

Xinhua web pages offers current events happening in China. Any breaking news, entertainment, business, sports, you name it, you will be sure to find here.
