 盛京時報 (Coverage: 1906-1944)


After the outbreak of the Russo-Japanese War in the late Qing Dynasty, in view of the fact that Tsarist Russia continued to intensify its infiltration into Northeast China, Japan observed the situation in China, and on the other hand, it could serve as a political mouthpiece. It is the first Chinese newspaper published by the Japanese in Northeast China.


 神州日報 (Coverage: 1907-1946)


Founded in Shanghai in 1907, its English name is "The National Herald". At the beginning of its establishment, the newspaper was presided over by Youren and other revolutionary party members, propagating revolutionary ideas, and became an anti-Qing revolutionary newspaper. From 20 June 1907, it was presided over by Wang Pengnian and others, and the relationship with the revolutionaries gradually drifted away. In the early days of the Republic of China, it was a publication of the Republican Party and the Progressive Party, and once promoted Yuan Shikai's restoration. In 1927, it was changed to "National Daily". It was later changed back to the original name. During the Anti-Japanese War, it was controlled by the Collaborationist Chinese Army.
