The Global Times is a daily Chinese tabloid under the auspices of the Chinese Communist Party's flagship newspaper, the People's Daily, commenting on international issues from a Chinese nationalistic perspective.^[1]^[2]

Established as a publication in 1993, its English version was launched in 2009. The editor-in-chief of Global Times was Hu Xijin until December 2021, who has been described as an early adopter of the "wolf warrior" communication strategy of loudly denouncing perceived criticism of the Chinese government and its policies.^[3] The newspaper has been the source of various incidents, including fabrications, conspiracy theories, and disinformation.^{[note 1]} It is part of a broader set of Chinese state media outlets that constitute the Chinese government's propaganda apparatus.^[11]^[12]

Under the auspices of People's Daily, the most important party-owned newspaper in China, Global Times is an international-oriented daily tabloid with a reputation for its pro-government and nationalist stance. In general, Global Times focuses on reporting and commenting on international events, usually viewed as more aggressive and nationalistic than other state media. Some scholars and observers focusing on China's news outlets suggest that Global Times is not so representative (Edney, 2014). However, it is still perceived as a channel for the nationalistic "eagle" view of China's political elites.
