China Economic News (CEN) — established in 1980 — is China’s first bilingual economic news weekly. Formerly a newsletter jointly published by China’s Economic Daily and Hong Kong Economic Weekly, CEN published 1,500 issues in its first 30 years. In early 2011, CEN became an independent and privately-owned business news and information organization with no ties to any government or political party. CEN now produces separate Chinese and English language editions of its newspapers, magazines, websites, mobile media, and video information, with a focus on providing accurate, extensive news, comment, data and analysis, and specialized services to economists, business executives and government officials. CEN also sponsors conferences worldwide that foster the open exchange of business information and management concepts related to China.
China Economic News aims to provide the world with an accurate account of China’s current government policy, macroeconomic predictions and industry trend analysis. By providing information that is authoritative, accurate, timely and practical, CEN aims to be the main source of China-related business news to foreign governments, multinational corporations and economic decision-makers and research institutions. CEN also aims to be the major media source for China’s government officials, economists and executives, helping its readers further understand economic trends in China that as they relate to other nations, regions, cities and industries.
Currently, CEN’s headquarters are based in New York, with branch offices in London, Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen. In addition to publishing 50 weekly issues of China Economic News annually, CEN also publishes China Trade News, China Financial News, China Automobile News, China Manufacturing News, China Textile News and 12 other trade and business magazines, and distributes over 100 industry reports in print, electronic and iPad formats to over one million readers in 200 countries. In addition CEN organizes some 60 conferences related to brand strategy, quality control, news media, marketing and trade.
