World Journal

The World Journal, run by a parent company in Taiwan with offices in Toronto and Vancouver, has announced that it is closing its Canadian operations after several years of financial losses.

The chief editor of a Chinese-language newspaper published in Toronto says she was fired for running an article that was critical of Ontario cabinet minister Michael Chan following complaints from the Chinese consulate and pro-Beijing groups that back Chan, the Globe and Mail has reported.

The World Journal, an overseas Chinese newspaper, says that the murder of a Houston man and his family relates to Zhou Yongkang, the former Chinese security boss.

Leaders in New York City’s Chinese communities talk about being forced to support John Liu’s mayoral campaign, despite preferring other candidates.

While English-language newspapers in New York are labeling Comptroller John Liu a “Liu-ser” in light of alleged acts of campaign fraud committed by his treasurer and fundraiser, the major Chinese-language newspapers in the city continue to support Liu in his mayoral campaign.

Liu receives much support from state-run Chinese regime media, inside and outside of China, which portray him as a celebrity figure, warmly received by the public.
