Talk:World Journal

Untitled
Tried to describe the rather byzantine politics behind the paper. My experience with Mainland Chinese is that they tend to really like reading the World Journal and the United Daily News.

Removed conservative and liberal from descriptions of pan-green and pan-blue as they seem more misleading than enlightening.

 * Like the mainstream The New York Times, the World Journal is generally considered a reliable and influential source of international news from Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, domestic American and Canadian politics (such as national elections), and local news in the Chinese-speaking communities.

Actually no. People who like the Kuomintang tend to think of the World Journal reliable. People who hate the Kuomintang see the World Journal as a propaganda rag.


 * The rightist World Journal competes with the International Daily News, a large liberal, Taiwanese American newspaper.

Again, it's very misleading I think to label the World Journal "rightist".

 * I agree. Instead of using such labels as "right" or "left", the more relevant information for Taiwanese newspapers is whether they lean toward the Pan-Blue Coalition or the Pan-Green Coalition. &mdash;Lowellian (talk) 09:54, Apr 25, 2005 (UTC)

Unclear
"the paper has published readers' letters voicing different views from the pro-Taiwan independence stance that have also made it popular among mainland Chinese immigrants to the United States." - Have the different views made it popular, or has the pro-Taiwan independence stance made it popular?
