Portland Chinese Times

Bad customer service. I need to repeat too many times. Messed up on my published, so needed to wait till next week. Too many problems.

They are the first Chinese newspaper based out of Portland and one of the only ones to focus on local news. The paper itself is free and available on most of the newspaper stacks that are near the doorways of most Asian businesses in Portland. Charles Hui has done Portland a good thing, providing the Chinese community with something more than SingTao or any national Chinese newspaper.
Not long ago they released an English version of the paper, which is not as thorough as the Chinese version and is targeted to Asian Americans who may not be likely to read Chinese. On a whole, content is fairly basic and the writing is not as strong as it could be. Still, who can argue with a free paper? I hope things improve and they’re able to scale out their distribution to the growing community of Chinese in Portland.
