Although both are called "Newsweek", China Newsweek has no relation to the America's Newsweek. [10]

On 25 September 1999, the first trial issue of China News Weekly was published,[11] and was officially launched on 1 January 2000.[12] The original official website domain name of China News Weekly was chinanewsweek.com.cn,[13] which was created on May 22, 2002[14] and is no longer accessible, and its current website domain name is inewsweek.cn,[15] which was created on November 16, 2009.[16]

April 15 is the anniversary of the death of Hu Yaobang, the former General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party, and in 2013, China News Weekly published a rare commemorative article and reviewed the whole process of the funeral of Hu. [17] The article mentioned the names of pro-democracy activists such as Wang Dan, Fang Lizhi, Li Shuxian (李淑娴) and others, who participated in the June Fourth Movement.[18]

Controversies

In an interview entitled Sun Dongdong: Sending Mentally Ill Patients to Hospitals Is the Greatest Safeguard (孙东东：把精神病人送到医院是最大的保障) published in an issue of China News Weekly in March 2009,[19] Sun Dongdong, director of Forensic Appraisal Office of Peking University (北京大学司法鉴定室), said responsibly, "for those professional petitioners who are always petitioning, not 100%, but at least 99% of them have mental problems - all of them are paranoid mental disorders (偏执型精神障碍)".[20] This statement quickly caused widespread controversy in Chinese society, with many petitioners expressing strong dissatisfaction, and heated discussions on the Sun Dongdong Phenomenon (孙东东现象) and Petitioner Phenomenon (访民现象) took place on all sides in China.[21]

China News Weekly was not a well-known magazine until March 2009, but became famous for interviewing Sun Dongdong's opinion that "at least 99% of China's petitioners (访民) are mentally ill".[22]
