Evaluation

Positive

The review column is more substantial than others, and the articles in its forum "Shi Lun Square" also reflect the diverse views of society.

More detailed international and cross-strait news and special reports.

Crime news is less likely to prejudge.

Negative

Some people believe that "China Times" clearly supports the pan-blue and "gradually and obviously loses the ethics of journalistic balance."

The handling of crime news and photos is plain, but after the arrival of "Apple Daily" and "Taiwan Next Weekly" in Taiwan, Taiwan's media environment has become commercially competitive, and its position of adhering to the bottom line of media ethics has been challenged. .
