戴 睿 Posted February 4, 2014 at 08:28 PM Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 at 08:28 PM Does one exist? I would love a good resource to go to for my 1- a week economic themed study articles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanchong Posted February 4, 2014 at 11:44 PM Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 at 11:44 PM Try 財新 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icebear Posted February 5, 2014 at 01:41 AM Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 at 01:41 AM 财经 or 财新 magazines. They also have apps for iPad (and I think Android) which are pretty slick, and allow easy exporting of articles to Pleco/elsewhere, if you like. Non-pay-walled areas of their websites are mostly short stories of same day news, but the magazines have much more content, including both medium and long form articles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mandarina Posted February 5, 2014 at 04:24 AM Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 at 04:24 AM I like Financial Times in Chinese: http://www.ftchinese.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
戴 睿 Posted February 5, 2014 at 07:12 AM Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 at 07:12 AM Which apps would those be icebear? Do they work on any iOS device? (Like, say, an iPod Touch 5th gen?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icebear Posted February 5, 2014 at 10:49 AM Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 at 10:49 AM My one concern about FT in Chinese is that it is translated. I admit that may not be a huge problem (or any at all), but I'd rather invest my time in original articles written by and for Chinese. I also enjoy reading FT etc in English for world events, and reading Chinese locals for Chinese news seems more natural to me. Entirely preferential, no solid reason not to use FT Chinese or others with good crowd source translations. If the OP doesn't mind that, he could also give the Economist or NYTimes a try. Other good sources for shorter articles (and free, online) are 经济参考报 and 一财, which in my experience are pretty reliable quality-wise. 财新 has an app which can be used on any iOS device. 财经 has an iPad only app - which is far superior, but obviously inaccessible to some. I prefer 财经 simply for the better app, given that both magazines and their news feeds are high quality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gato Posted February 5, 2014 at 04:15 PM Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 at 04:15 PM I would also suggest giving translated articles a pass. The translations are often of uneven quality. You run the risk of learning Anglicized Chinese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanchong Posted February 5, 2014 at 06:21 PM Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 at 06:21 PM FTchinese does have a few original reports and opinion pieces. But only a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
