It's Red Ink in Philly as China Daily Arrives

The new, redesigned Daily News that makes its debut today is not the only newspaper in town that's looking a little different to Philadelphians.

For reasons that aren't quite clear, the U.S. edition of the China Daily, which calls itself the "largest national English language newspaper of China," recently began targeting the Rittenhouse section of Center City to boost subscriptions. Rolled-up copies of the paper, some dry and yellowed from the heat, were found in recent days on front stoops along Pine and Lombard streets and nearby side streets.
