  Apple Daily - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Apple Daily (蘋果日報) is a Hong-Kong-based newspaper that was founded by Jimmy Lai (Lai Chee Ying) in 1995 and is published by his company, Next Media.
Apple Daily is the second best selling newspaper in Hong Kong, which is in a broadsheet like most Hong Kong newspapers, but the style is regarded as tabloid-like, employing emotional headlines and vulgar words.
As a result, reporters for the Apple Daily have been banned from doing interviews openly in Mainland China, and have been expelled from some commercial news conferences.

 News & Events - People's Daily Refutes Taiwan's "Three Principles for Dialog"(05/19/2000)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The article says that the problem of the status of the two sides of the Taiwan Straits in conducting dialogs, and the problem of peacefully resolving differences, are fundamental problems that must be resolved in developing cross-Straits relations.
But some people in Taiwan suggest that disputes between the two sides be solved in accordance with the UN Charter, exposing their ulterior motives, the editorial says.
Taiwan is a part of China and Taiwan has only one future -- reunification with the mainland, the editorial emphasizes, adding that this is a very clear and non-negotiable issue.

 Asia Times Online - News from greater China; Hong Kong and Taiwan
Some observers insist his relocation to Taiwan was designed to be a launching pad for a tougher media attack on China, and others suggest his Taiwan move was solely motivated by Taiwan's freer and more lucrative media market.

When Apple Daily first appeared, all the traditional newspapers in Taiwan were confident that it would fail under their combined assault.
Overall, the vacuity and nihilism of Taiwan society towards political and economic discourse and the general lack of serious and logical discourse is not the responsibility of Apple Daily, but the consequence of the longstanding tradition of Taiwan media.
The fact that Apple Daily became the leader in newspaper readership may be a temporary phenomenon but the impact on Liberty Times and all the print media in Taiwan is only beginning to take effect.

 [No title]
In Webster's and other Western sources, Taiwan is defined as the "Republic of China." Yet at the Olympics, Taiwan has competed as "Chinese Taipei" since 1980; its athletes wear no national flags, and medal winners hear no Taiwanese anthem, only generic Olympic fanfare.
This month, Beijing denounced a proposal by several countries to, as it said, "help Taiwan `join' the United Nations." The mere suggestion, said Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Zhang Qiyue, "tramples on the purposes and principles of the U.N. Charter" and is a maneuver to create two Chinas.
So the People's Daily calls Taiwan's president "the leader of the Taiwan authorities" or "Taiwan's Chen Shui-bian." The phrase "Taiwan independence" is enveloped in quotation marks and followed by "fallacy" or "folly."
