The China Youth Daily was established in 1951, six years before the Chinese Socialist Youth League decided to change its name to Communist Youth League of China (CYL).
As the mission of CYL at the present stage is to unite and lead the young people in the country, hoping to transfuse new blood into the CPC and bring about young personnel for the country, China Youth Daily also tries to bring news, ideas and information through the nationwide circulations which follow the CYL principles. Thus, China Youth Daily has in fact given advantages to the CPC to project their voice to a wider public in China. In another perspective, the content of the paper is to some extent regulated by the CPC.
Although China youth Daily is run by the CYL, it is also the first profit-generating paper in China. The profit enables the paper to support itself and welcomes individuals along with companies to advertise in the paper.
Freezing Point, a four-page weekly supplement of China Youth Daily was temporarily shut down by the Chinese government in early 2006, due to an anti-censorship letter posted by columnist Li Datong. According to the Washington Post, government censors accused the section of "'viciously attacking the socialist system' and condemned a recent article in it that criticized the history textbooks used in Chinese middle schools." Pressure from retired high-level party officials and senior scholars forced the government to allow publication again, but without its former editor and top investigative reporter, according to the New York Times.
The paper has a circulation of around 500,000 copies a day. As it is an integrated nationwide newspaper which targets the young generation in China, it covers political, social, and economic news which particularly concerns both the young personnel of the country and the CPC.
As it is the first for-profit official newspaper in China, it welcomes advertisements from individuals, local and foreign companies.
