BEIJING — The online version of China’s Communist Party newspaper has hailed a report by The Onion naming North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un as the ‘‘Sexiest Man Alive’’ — not realizing it is satire.
The People’s Daily on Tuesday ran a 55-page photo spread on its website in a tribute to the round-faced leader, under the headline ‘‘North Korea’s top leader named The Onion’s Sexiest Man Alive for 2012.’’
