China Pictorial

History

In May 1948, Jinchaji Pictorial merged with People's Pictorial and changed its name to North China Pictorial.

In June 1950, Mao Zedong changed the title of the magazine to China Pictorial. The magazine was established and first published under the name China Pictorial in July 1950. In the late 1950s a member of the Sweden China Association in Stockholm, Nils Holmberg, was hired by the Chinese authorities to translate the content of the magazine into Swedish.

Since its establishment, the magazine has never ceased publication, and was published as usual during the Cultural Revolution.

At the end of 2001, China Pictorial was selected as one of the "China Periodical Phalanx" evaluated by the National Press and Publication Administration, and was awarded the title of "Periodical with Double Effect on Social and Economic Benefits".

In October 2002, China Pictorial released its Korean language edition.

In 2003, China Pictorial was awarded the second National Periodical Award in a competition conducted by the General Administration of Press and Publication. In 2005, People's Pictorial won the third National Periodical Award.

In 2018, the magazine was named as one of the "Top 100 Newspapers" in the country by the Department of News and Press of the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television.
