The newspaper served the locals in Qingdao and various German companies in the Far East.[2] The newspaper reported on the management of the Kiautschou Bay concession, activity of Western powers in East Asia, and the methods and trades of Christian missionaries.[3] When World War I broke out, the Japanese took over Qingdao and the publishing of German newspapers ended.[1]

"Insbesondere die in Tsingtau erschienene deutschsprachige Zeitung „Tsingtauer Neueste Nachrichten" mit ihren Berichten über die Aktivitäten der westlichen Großmächte in Ostasien, über die Verwaltung des deutschen Gouvernements Kiautschou, den Handel und die vor Ort tätigen christliche Mission erwies sich als eine wichtige Quelle." - The footnote says "Diese Zeitungen zwar fuer die deutschen Leser bestimmt, aber beinhalten auch einige kritische Artikel, die von Chinakennem wie Richard Wilhelm oder dem erfahrenen deutschen Dolemstcher Heinrich Mootz gescrieben wurden."
