China Today
China Today (Chinese: 今日中国; pinyin: Jīnrì Zhōngguó), formerly titled China Reconstructs (Chinese: 中国建设; pinyin: Zhōngguó Jiànshè), is a monthly magazine founded in 1949 by Soong Ching-ling in association with Israel Epstein. It is published in Chinese, English, Spanish, French, Arabic, German and Turkish, and is intended to promote a positive view of the People's Republic of China and its government to people outside of China. Foreign advisor and naturalized Chinese citizen Israel Epstein was editor-in-chief of China Today from 1951, later he returned to China at the request of Soong Ching-ling. The magazine was renamed China Today in 1990.[1] China Today is usually published the first week of the month. In the pages of the magazine, the editors usually showcase the growing modernization and development which has happened in China since the liberal policies of Deng Xiaoping were begun in December 1978. For example, the May, 2009 issue discussed the Expo 2010 Shanghai China.[2]
