International Daily News (
Chinese-language newspaper in North America and Indonesia. It is a pro-mainland newspaper,[4] sold in several major Chinatowns
.
The newspaper was founded and owned by
entrepreneur, and his family bought the International Daily News,[7] paying between $3 and $4 million for the paper. This purchase was consummated on July 1, 1996.[8]
In contrast to its competitor, the World Journal, the International Daily News appeals to mainland Chinese immigrants in North America due to its much less hostile attitude toward mainland China/Chinese (although in the mid/late-1990s, the World Journal significantly moderated its anti-China line).[citation needed]
Lee Ya-ping, a
Chinese American businesswoman and the owner and publisher of International Daily News, was jailed by the Taiwanese government under the Kuomintang regime on 17 September 1985 during a visit to Taiwan, charged with spreading propaganda for the Chinese Communist Party,[9] because she was suspected of publishing articles supporting Beijing's overtures for reunification of Taiwan with mainland China.[9] Eventually, Lee was released nine days later, under pressure from the United States Congress.[10]
On September 2, 2001, International Daily News and Java Post collaborated to bundle and publish the Wen Wei Po (Southeast Asia Edition), an 8-page daily edition, which was launched simultaneously in Jakarta, Surabaya, Pontianak, and Medan.[11]
