Lianhe Zaobao
Aside from bilateral exchanges, Singapore's Chinese-language "Lianhe Zaobao" newspaper has been cited by Chinese officials as a symbol of Singapore's soft power through its reporting on China to the world. Zaobao.com was the first Chinese-language newspaper website to be available in 1995. In 2009, access to "Lianhe Zaobao" was reportedly blocked by China's Great Firewall for a period, presumably due to "Lianhe Zaobao"'s reporting on China's internet censorship.
