Youth Times
Youth Times (Chinese: 青年时报),[3] also known as Qingnian Shibao, [4] is a simplified Chinese urban youth newspaper[5] published in the People's Republic of China. The publication is the organ newspaper of the Zhejiang Provincial Committee of the Communist Youth League of China. [6] Youth Times focused on Hangzhou, covered Zhejiang, and was issued to the whole China.[7] The newspaper ceased to publish in December of 2020. HistoryThe founding of the Youth Times can be traced back to when the Rural Youth (农村青年) was launched in 1951[8] in Hangzhou[9] by Chen Jinhai (陈金海). Rural Youth was renamed as Zhejiang Youth (浙江青年), Zhejiang Youth Post (浙江青年报) and Oriental Youth (东方青年), and was discontinued twice. [10] In 1991, the newspaper was relaunched as Zhejiang Youth Post, and officially renamed as Youth Times on October 8, 2001.[11] At the end of December 2020, Youth Times announced the suspension of publication,[12] and its official website, qnsb.com,[13] is no longer accessible.
