So much in love with this app. What it gives is a positive and mesmerizing view to China and to the parts of world that always been looked at with prejudice and in a biased manner. The quality Sixth Tone provides, both in its content, and it's presentation, is outstanding

Big fan. High quality press. Just good humble opinion pieces that I find highly relatable as an expat in Shanghai that gives me an insight to modern life in China.
★★★★★Bailey Yordnoff· Aug 1, 2019
Good to see news about China that isn't Red Scare, Yellow Peril propaganda (looking at you, NYT).

Used to be great, but recent BJ crackdowns have utterly neutered Sixth Tone. I'm in morning for what used to be excellent and interesting journalism from them.
