History
editThe newspaper was first published on 1 January 1983.[1]
In 1984, Deng Xiaoping wrote an inscription for the Economic Daily.[2]
In October 2020, the United States Department of State designated the Economic Daily as a foreign mission of China.[3][4]
Hoax
editOn January 28, 1993, Economic Daily published an article entitled Can Water Really Become Gasoline? —— A Record of Private Entrepreneur Wang Hongcheng and His Invention (水真能变成油吗?——记民营企业家王洪成与他的发明).[5] The article, written by Economic Daily reporters Wu Hongbo (吴红博) and Liu Donghua (刘东华),[6] praised the "invention" of Wang Hongcheng (王洪成) for transforming water into gasoline as "China's fifth greatest invention" (中国第五大发明) after the traditional Four Great Inventions.[7][8] However, the water-to-gasoline technology (水变油技术) was later deemed a hoax and pseudoscience,[9] and in 1998, its initiator, Wang Hongcheng, was sentenced to 10 years in prison.[10]
Organization
editThe Economic Daily is published by the Economic Daily News Agency, a deputy-ministerial-level institution.[11] It is managed by the Central Propaganda Department of the Chinese Communist Party.[12]
