你们好, 这里死了吗?如果是,我会做新的。 Hello all, are you all still here, and we could revive this community? Otherwise maybe I should make a new one of my own?

    News is extremely advanced language with so many specific, technical vocabulary. I don’t know why you expect that you’ll be able to understand it, and I’d suggest reading while looking up every word in the dictionary is not a great use of your time. I’ve been studying for years and I don’t even try to read native Chinese news. It’s definitely something I aspire to be able to do but everything at the right time.

      It’s not something I expect to be able to do, but something I aspire to do. I think I’ve been studying for long enough to understand a bit of the grammatical structures, but I need more repertoire, content and vocabulary.

      I think China is doing very interesting movements in international politics, and it would be cool to read at least headlines from a Chinese source and perspective.

        Yeah China has pretty good English language outreach. I recommend CGTN, in particular their youtube channel has some excellent content. There’s a number of other official news outlets like Xinhua, ECNS too.
