The China Times (Chinese: 中國時報; pinyin: Zhōngguó Shíbào) is a daily Chinese newspaper published in Taiwan. It is one of the four largest newspapers in Taiwan, along with the Liberty Times, Apple Daily (Taiwan), and United Daily News.
The paper is also printed in San Gabriel, California.
China Television (CTV) and Chung T'ien Television (CtiTV) are both under the ownership of the Want Want 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.
The founder, Yu Jizhong (Chinese: 余紀忠), died in 2002, leaving the presidency of the paper to his second son, Yu Jianxin (Chinese: 余建新). Yu Jizhong's eldest daughter, Yu Fanying, is the vice president. The bureau chief is Lin Shengfen (Chinese: 林聖芬), the general manager Huang Zhaosong (Chinese: 黃肇松), and the chief editor Huang Qinglong (Chinese: 黃清龍).
