Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: 中新网 at 4.1 against 百度新闻's 3.4. 中新网 also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 61%) and in-app purchases (none vs 5). 百度新闻's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
