Dating back three millennia, Beijing (or Peking as it has been invariably called), is China's political, cultural, and educational center, as well as being its second most populated city, after Shanghai.
Peking Press, with the motto ‘Your passport to Beijing’ has as its aim to provide all the news from the top to the bottom of the city.

Mission: Development of Peking Press began in 2002 to provide up-to-the minute local news, together with national and international headlines as part of a global network pooling resources to deliver a quality service to member portals. Each online publication has been modelled on a newspaper format for familiar readability by users. The locations forming part of the network were selected on the basis of demand for news for that location. Peking Press, an online newspaper, provides coverage of the city, metropolitan area and China in general. International news, business and finance stories are common across the network of sites, and are drawn from a number of sources including original in-house journalists and wire services.
Peking Press and the other sites are administered by Midwest Radio Network.
