Xinmin Evening News

State-owned daily newspaper in Shanghai, China

Xinmin Evening News (Chinese: 新民晚报; pinyin: Xīnmín Wǎnbào), formerly known as Xinmin Po, is a state-owned newspaper published since September, 1929 in Shanghai, China.

It is now owned by Shanghai United Media Group. Its current editorial mission is the socialist-inspired "promote the policies from the government, spread the knowledge, change the culture, satisfy the life" (「宣傳政策，傳播知識，移風易俗，豐富生活」; Pinyin: xuānchuán zhèngcè, chuánbō zhīshi, yífēng yìsú, fēngfù shēnghuó).[citation needed]

In 1990, Xinmin Evening News personnel were dispatched to the U.S. to found an American edition to counter negative perceptions of the Chinese government following the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre.[1]

In October 2020, the United States Department of State designated Xinmin Evening News as a foreign mission of the Chinese government.[2][3][4]
