Now Bilingual
The whole site now switches between Chinese and English, with the English edition written and typeset in its own newsroom style and paired with bilingual cover art.
Daily Cover Art
Every issue now opens with an original cover illustration, and article images can be clicked to view full size.
Quick News
A new Quick News section rounds up the day's smaller stories worth a glance, with automatic cross-day deduplication so nothing repeats.
Sharper Writing
Articles now read more like a news magazine — what happened, why it matters — and story selection was tuned to curb big-lab dominance so smaller teams and research get more room.
New Pages
Added methodology, privacy policy, sources, and changelog pages, including a full list of every source that fed each issue.
