The China Times (traditional Chinese: 中國時報; simplified Chinese: 中国时报; pinyin: Zhōngguó Shíbào; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tiong-kok-sî-pò) is a newspaper published in Taiwan in Traditional Chinese. It is the fourth biggest newspaper in Taiwan, ranking after the Liberty Times, Apple Daily (Taiwan), and United Daily News.
The paper is also printed in San Gabriel, California.
The free-to-air China Television (CTV) channel and the satellite channel Chung T'ien Television (Cti TV) are under the ownership of the China Times Group.
The China Times was founded in February 1950 under the name Credit News (Chinese: 徵信新聞; pinyin: Zhēngxìn xīnwén), and focused mainly on price indices. The name changed on January 1, 1960 to Credit Newspaper (Chinese: 徵信新聞報; pinyin: Zhēngxìn xīnwénbào), a daily with comprehensive news coverage. Color printing was introduced on March 29, 1968, the first newspaper in Asia to make the move. On September 1, 1968, the name changed once again to China Times, presently based in the Wanhua District, Taipei.
