So here's my honest take on the Global Times app. I've tested a bunch of news apps and this one's pretty solid. The coverage is comprehensive, with a unique Chinese perspective that you don't always get in Western media. The video commentary is cool, and the opinion pieces can be thought-provoking. But it's not without its flaws - the navigation takes some getting used to, and the frequent ads can be a pain. Overall though, if you want an in-depth look at China and its role in the world, this is a pretty good option.

Description

Been using the Global Times app for a couple months now. It’s basically a news app, but with a focus on China. Gives you the latest stories, analysis, and opinions on what’s going on in China and the world. Pretty solid if you’re into international news and politics.

Here’s what you can do – you can read the latest headlines, dive into the detailed articles, and even watch some video commentary. There’s also an opinion section with thought-provoking views. And the business section covers important financial news from a China-centric angle. Took me a while to explore all the different parts of the app, but it’s got a ton of content.

Look, if you’re into staying up-to-date on China and global affairs, you’ll probably like this app. It’s not perfect – the ads can get a bit annoying if you don’t pay – but overall it does a good job of delivering the news. Worth checking out if that’s your thing.
