Taiwan News (formerly China News[2]) is an English-language online newspaper and former print newspaper in Taiwan. Its editorial position shifted to pan-Green after I-Mei Foods acquired a majority stake. I-Mei also publishes the Chinese-language news weekly of the same name.[1]

History

China News was founded on 6 June 1949 in Taipei by James Wei,[3] a journalist with close ties to the KMT and former employee of the Ministry of Information.[4]: 1858  The newspaper was established to cater for foreign residents and the local population in Taiwan.[4]: 1858  At the time it was the only English-language daily newspaper in Taiwan and it was a newspaper published in the afternoon. Later on, in order to compete with its new competitor, China News had to change and was published in the morning in order not to lose its advertisements.[1]

In 1960, the newspaper switched to block printing in a full-size page format.[2]

Wei left the newspaper in 1965. Wei was also a Reuters correspondent and deputy director of the Central News Agency. During his later years he was the sixth Director of the Government Information Office, serving from October 31, 1966, to June 1, 1972. Wei was a close advisor to Chiang Ching-kuo.[5][6]

China News ran into financial difficulties in 1996 and received capital injection from I-Mei Foods, but the management of the newspaper was unchanged.[4]: 1858  In May 1999, I-Mei Foods acquired 50 percent stake in the newspaper for NTD$60 million (US$1.8 million).[3] The newspaper's name was changed to Taiwan News to reflect the newspaper's new focus on readers in Taiwan and to avoid confusion with China Daily and China News Service.[3] After the change in ownership, Taiwan News increased its page count and lowered staff wages.[7][3] Under the ownership of I-Mei Foods, Simone Wei became the newspaper's chairperson and I-Mei CEO Kao Chih-ming became the publisher.[8]

By 1998, 63 percent of Taiwan News' readership were local readers and the rest were businesspeople, diplomats, academics, teachers and students from outside Taiwan.[9]: 149  Former editor Anthony Lawrance said in 2001 that Taiwan News mainly republished wire stories and had few articles with original reporting due to a lack of financial resources to hire English-speaking journalists and produce good translations from Chinese news articles, the high turnover of foreign editorial staff and the absence of an English speaking environment in Taiwan.[4]: 1859 

In 2010, Taiwan News went digital and simultaneously ended its weekly financial and cultural magazine.[10]In 2015, Taiwan News became an all-digital publication when it ended all print editions.[11]

In March 2024, Taiwan News underwent a website redesign.[12][13]

Editorial position

Under the ownership of I-Mei Foods, which is strongly associated with the Taiwanese identity, Taiwan News changed its editorial stance from being pro-KMT to being in favor of the Pan-Green coalition and Taiwan independence.[1][4]: 1858  According to former editor Anthony Lawrance, Taiwan News opposes autocracies and the People's Republic of China.[4]: 1858  In the late 1990s, Taiwan News rejected Chinese unification as advocated by the Kuomintang and associations of Taiwan with the People's Republic of China under the "one country, two systems" principle.[4]: 1858 

Despite the stated pro-independence editorial position, owner of Taiwan News and I-Mei Foods CEO Louis Ko welcomed the Kuomintang vice-presidential candidate Jaw Shaw-kang for a publicized meeting at the company's Taoyuan factory before the 2024 Taiwanese presidential election.[14]
