There are four UK-based media outlets identified on the World Chinese Media website: Guardian Chinese Network; British Chinese Times; British Overseas Chinese Newspaper; and British Chinese Business Daily. These news outlets, however, are no longer widely read, and the majority of their website links are either broken or are not maintained. There are some small scale publications with websites (such as Chinese Business Gazette, included in links below). More attention is paid to more mainstream PRC English-language media outlets, which are not solely focussed on the UK. Mainstream UK newspapers often comment on articles written in, for example, the Global Times.

These include: 《希华时讯》 and 《希中网》（see URL above）. However, it is not entirely clear whether these media really exist in Greece, or whether they are obscure websites based in China.
