( Postal map spelling: Hopeh) is a northern province of the People's Republic of China. Ever since its founding, People's Daily has been under direct control of the Party's top leadership. Deng Tuo and Wu Lengxi served as editor-in-chief from 1948-1958 and 1958-1966, respectively, but the paper was in fact controlled by Mao's personal secretary Hu Qiaomu. Deng Tuo (邓拓 （1912-1966）was a Chinese poet intellectual and journalist Mao Zedong ( 26 December 1893 – 9 September 1976) was a Chinese Military and political leader who led Hu Qiaomu ( Traditional Chinese: 胡喬木 Simplified Chinese: 胡乔木 Pinyin: Hú Qiáomù (1912-1992 was a revolutionary Sociologist

During the Cultural Revolution, the People's Daily was one of the few sources of information from which either foreigners or Chinese could figure out what the Chinese government was doing. The Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution in the People’s Republic of China was a struggle for power within the Communist Party of China that manifested into During this period, an editorial in the People's Daily would be considered an authoritative statement of government policy and was studied across the nation.

Newspaper articles in the People's Daily are often not read for content so much as placement. A large number of articles devoted to a political figure or idea is often taken as a sign that the mentioned official is rising.

Editorials in the People's Daily are also regarded both by foreign observers and Chinese readers as authoritative statements of government policy. Distinction is made between editorials, commentaries, and opinions. Although all must be government approved, they differ sharply on the amount of official authoritativeness they contain. For example, although an opinion piece is unlikely to contain views that are opposed to those of the government, it may express a viewpoint, or it may contain a debate that is still under consideration and may reflect only the opinions of the writer. By contrast, an official editorial, which is rather infrequent, means that the government has reached a final decision on an issue.

Since the mid-1990s, the People's Daily has faced a decline of governmental subsidies combined with increasing competition from international news sources and Chinese tabloids. Chinese tabloid refers to a Newspaper format that became extremely popular in the People's Republic of China in the mid-1990s As part of its effort to modernize, it began an online edition in 1997, and the web bulletin forums, such as the Strong Nation Forum in the Chinese edition, has been known for their surprisingly candid content.
