Guangming Daily (China) → Guangming Daily – per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC and WP:TWODABS:

1. Circulation. The Chinese paper is one of the country's most important national papers, once one of China's "big three", with a circulation of 1.5 million in 1987. Its most recent circulation is 490,000, comparable to 571,500 for The New York Times. I don't have the data for the Malaysian paper, but its target audience is the ethnic Chinese population in Malaysia, which numbers about 10 million, less than 1% of China's population.

2. Web traffic. Alexa ranks the Chinese paper's website (gmw.cn) as the 73rd busiest in the world, and 14th busiest in China [1]. The Malaysia newspaper's website ranks 78,776th in the world, and 586th in Malaysai [2].

3. Long-term significance. The Chinese paper has been extremely important in Chinese politics, heavily involved in the ending of the Cultural Revolution and the victory of Deng Xiaoping over Hua Guofeng. Its articles are intensely studied by scholars. For example, it is cited many times in The Cambridge History of China. I don't see any comparable influence from the Malaysian paper.
