Duowei News (traditional Chinese: 多維新聞; simplified Chinese: 多维新闻; pinyin: Duōwéi xīnwén), originally named Chinese News Net,[1] was a Chinese language news website established in 1999 based in New York City, United States. The website was also known as Multidimensional News,[2] and specialized in Chinese political news.[3][4]

Duowei News was blocked in Mainland China. In 2013, Jason Q. Ng of China Digital Times and Citizen Lab[5][6] considered the outlet to be critical of mainland China and the PRC government's policies.[7] According to Radio France Internationale in 2018, the site has been accused of having a pro-Beijing view point and promoting Chinese Communist Party propaganda.[8]

History

Duowei News, whose original domain name was chinesenewsnet.com,[9] was founded by Ho Pin (何频) on 11 January 1999,[10] who used to work for a Chinese state-run newspaper but left due to negative feelings towards the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre.[11]

On June 27, 2004, Duowei's new domain name, dwnews.com,[12] was created. In 2009, the website was sold to the Hong Kong media mogul Yu Pun-hoi.[13]

Ho Pin now publishes Mingjing News. Duowei has a news bureau in Beijing.[4][14]

Duowei News correctly predicted the lineups of the 16th and 17th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party in 2002 and 2007 respectively.[15]

Duowei News closed on 26 April 2022.[16]
