Additional info if anyone wants more options for People’s Daily.
At the bottom of their page is a link that says “People’s Daily app” that leads to an alternate front-end with a different layout and better (but longer) URLs that have actual text instead of numbers in them (looks less sketchy when sharing):
https://peoplesdaily.pdnews.cn/
So the article “China's deep space exploration laboratory starts operation” goes from:
http://en.people.cn/n3/2022/0615/c90000-10109707.html
To a link that looks more in line with other news sites:
https://peoplesdaily.pdnews.cn/tech/china-s-deep-space-exploration-laboratory-starts-operation-265432.html
And that site has app links:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.peopleapp.en https://apps.apple.com/app/peoples-daily-人民日报英文官方客户端/id1294031865

Basically that they both pull news stories from shared sources but look different.

PDnews articles in browser load narrower text for articles that don’t go full-width but that might be different depending on browser settings.
The apps have a “Aa” button on the top-right corner of stories to change font size for readability as well as a default selection under settings.
Also websites can set up with custom CSS to change the look/layout and there’s probably a way to adjust People so that the columns are narrower. Should be straightforward to search for how, don’t know offhand.
