|
Tang Wensheng, also known as Nancy and daughter of Tang Mingzhao, a founding member and editor-inchief of China Daily News, visited the exhibition organised by China Daily in Beijing on November 1. She
said "China Daily News was designed to be a progressive newspaper made by overseas Chinese people.
Although some members of the Communist Party of China joined the preparation, it was not a paper of the
CPC. But it was one that aimed to give a voice to overseas Chinese".
(Comment: American-born Chinese diplomat Tang Wensheng was Mao Zedong's chief interpreter during U.S.
President Richard Nixon's historical 1972 visit to China. Born in 1943, she also served as Premier Zhou Enlai's
interpreter.)
