The paper establishes itself as a broadsheet with local news coverage, while international news tend to be largely centred on the East Asia region, with a section dedicated to China. Zaobao has an East Asian correspondent network spanning Beijing, Chongqing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Taipei, Seoul and Tokyo. It is SPH's flagship Chinese daily and the only Chinese-language daily in Singapore.[4] Lianhe Zaobao is the only Chinese-language overseas newspaper which can be purchased in major cities of mainland China.[4] As with all Chinese-language publications currently based in Singapore, the paper is printed in Simplified Chinese.
