The website has republished articles from the People's Daily, the official newspaper of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party. In 2020, the Helsinki Times published an article from the People's Daily which included a conspiracy theory about the origins of COVID-19. The Helsinki Times said the "barter-exchange" arrangement with the People's Daily was an attempt to balance western media coverage which it said was "at times extremely one-sided and biased".
