From the Paper:

"China does not have a free press. This means that the media is directly controlled by the Government (Falkenheim 1). This government controlled media tends to be particularly interested in two types of issues. These issues are foreign relations and international co-operation and modernization and development. Foreign relations and international co-operation seem to be the most common issues in the Chinese media. A four day examination of the major issues in the People's Daily.com found that 28.5 per cent of the stories focused on issues related to foreign relations and international co-operation (Appendix 1)."
