There are many media (both Western and Chinese) that are useful for obtaining information on China’s polity, economy and society.

The following are my favourite ones that I suggest for people who do not read Chinese.

These sites, taken together provide factual information that is most of the time accurate and reliable. Of course, their interpretation of facts is often biased by their perspective, as well as by policy and ideological options. Therefore, the following list provides a wide variety (far from being complete) of points of view, from the Right to the Left spectrum.
