<p>Sometimes I like to have a laugh and read satirical news sites, like <a href="https://www.theonion.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">The Onion</a>, e.g.</p>

<p>It'd probably be beneficial for me to read in Chinese, but I can't find an equivalent.</p>

<p><strong>Question</strong>: Are there satirical news sites in Chinese, like The Onion?</p>

<p>Maybe they don't exist, as it's not really a typical Chinese behavior to "take the piss".  The relevant Baidu search is <a href="https://www.baidu.com/s?wd=%E8%AE%BD%E5%88%BA%E6%96%B0%E9%97%BB" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>讽刺新闻</code></a> but I didn't find anything.</p>

# Are there satirical news sites in Chinese, like The Onion?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2020-02-26)

Sometimes I like to have a laugh and read satirical news sites, like [The Onion](https://www.theonion.com/), e.g.

> [Experts Concerned Pale Russian Mystic Constantly At Trump’s Side May Attempt To Influence 2020 Election](https://politics.theonion.com/experts-concerned-pale-russian-mystic-constantly-at-tru-1841836220)

It'd probably be beneficial for me to read in Chinese, but I can't find an equivalent.

**Question**: Are there satirical news sites in Chinese, like The Onion?

Maybe they don't exist, as it's not really a typical Chinese behavior to "take the piss". The relevant Baidu search is [`讽刺新闻`](https://www.baidu.com/s?wd=%E8%AE%BD%E5%88%BA%E6%96%B0%E9%97%BB) but I didn't find anything.
