Sometimes we wonder if China Daily isn't trying to take the piss out of us with these kind of stories.
Satirical U.S. joke paper The Onion is, for a reason not quite clear yet, doing a China special.

U.K. newspaper The Guardian has got China fever! Not only are they doing a week-long portrait of China series (the first of which looks at migrant workers returning to village life), but it's also actually offering Chinese translations of some of their articles now.
