__TOC__
== Summary ==
''[[China Daily]]'' is a publication owned by the [[Chinese Communist Party]]. The 2021 RfC found narrow consensus against deprecating ''China Daily'', owing to the lack of available usable sources for Chinese topics. There is consensus that ''China Daily'' may be used, cautiously and with good editorial judgment, as a source for the position of the Chinese authorities and the Chinese Communist Party; as a source for the position of ''China Daily'' itself; as a source for facts about non-political events in mainland China, while noting that (a) ''China Daily''{{'}}s interpretation of those facts is likely to contain political spin, and (b) ''China Daily's'' omission of details from a story should not be used to determine that such details are untruthful; and, with great caution, as a supplementary (but not sole) source for facts about political events of mainland China. Editors agree that when using this source, [[WP:RSCONTEXT|context matters]] a great deal and the facts should be separated from ''China Daily''{{'}}s view about those facts. It is best practice to use [[WP:INTEXT|in-text attribution]] and [[WP:IC|inline citations]] when sourcing content to ''China Daily''.
