Chinese Times

The Chinese Times was a Chinese language newspaper established in Melbourne in 1902. Its Chinese title was initially 愛國報 Aiguobao (Patriotic Newspaper, 1902–1905), later 警東新報 Jingdongxinbao (1905–1914), 平報 Pingbao (1917), 民報 Minbao (The People, 1919-1922). At the time of its establishment it was the only Chinese-language newspaper in Melbourne, and one of three in Australia (along with the Chinese Australian Herald and the Tung Wah Times, both published in Sydney). From 1919 it was the official newspaper of the Kuomintang in Australia. It moved to Sydney in 1922, where it continued to publish until 1949. The first edition appeared on 5 February 1902. It appeared weekly, initially on Wednesdays but from February 1905 on Saturdays. It ceased publication on a few occasions, including in 1907, between 1915 and 1919, and between 1920 and 1922.
