Fink gjorde den om til ukeavis.<ref name=French83/> Hartmut Walravens, forfatter av "German Influence on the Press in China," sier at "there is no doubt among specialists that the ''Ostasiatischer Lloyd'', especially under his editorship, has been not only the first but also the best German newspaper in China."<ref name=Walravens90/> I 1916 beskrev A.P. Winston, forfatter av "Chinese Finance Under the Republic," avisen som "chief organ of the German interests in the Far East" og at avisen "deserves to rank with the better class of European or American journals devoted to commerce and finance."<ref>Winston, p.

Ved utbruddet av [[annen verdenskrig]] ble det vanskeligere å distribuere ''Der Ostasiatische Lloyd'' til andre land, og etterspørselen i Kina etter nyheter fra Tyskland tiltok. Redaktørene for ''Der Ostasiatische Lloyd'' startet da ''[[Deutsche Zeitung für China]]'' for å møte etterspørselen. Walravens sier at den nye avisen var vellykket.<ref>Walravens, p.

En avis som opprinnelig het ''[[Deutsche Shanghai Zeitung]]'' tok senere navnet ''Der Ostasiatische Lloyd'' - den hadde ingen forbindelse med '''Der Ostasiatische Lloyd''', men var knyttet til nazismen.<ref>Walravens, p.
