February 24, 2008, 02:31 PMFor obvious reasons, the Chinese newspapers with "the most guts" are usually published in Taiwan, Hong Kong, or overseas. However, you have to read traditional characters.

February 24, 2008, 05:30 PMIs there any sites that deliver Chinese newspapers to the UK? It's cooler to have an actual newspaper than to read it online.

February 24, 2008, 08:13 PMThe Chinese Food store here in Edinburgh, 爱华行, carries Chinese newspapers, but maybe all in traditional characters (the one I saw was)... so if you can find a Chinese food store, Bazza, check out if they carry any newspapers.

February 24, 2008, 05:06 AMnever read the following newspaper:《人民日报》《工人日报》.....these paper is published by communist party and the readers mainly the guy in government. I suggest you read《中国青年报》, it more focus on the real-life of chinese people and give good comments.
