China has become the world's largest producer of daily newspapers, accounting for 15 percent of the world's total daily production.
A report reviewing China's newspaper industry in 2005 is the first time in which the Chinese government detailed the development of the country's newspaper industry.
It shows there are currently 90 newspapers in 13 languages in print used by Chinese minorities, and all the main Chinese ethnic groups whose native languages are still in use all have newspapers published in their own languages.
There are also 13 foreign-language newspapers, mainly in English and Russian.
Meanwhile, the report also points out though China has topped world's chart of daily newspaper production, it is not the greatest power in this industry, saying the number of newspapers per 1000 people is far behind of the world average, and that the newspapers' quality still needs to be improved.
