The West China Missionary News (WCMN) was a monthly news magazine published in Chengdu (Chengtu) from 1899 to 1943 by the West China Missions Advisory Board, and printed by Canadian Methodist Mission Press.[2] It was aimed at Protestant missionaries working in Sichuan (or referred to as "West China"),[3][note 1] and was the first and longest-running English-language newspaper in that province.[4][2]
