Duowei News (Шаблон:Zh), 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 in English as Multidimensional News,[2] which is the literal translation of its Chinese name. It 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] It was viewed as one of the independent Chinese language media outlets in the United States that later were taken over by pro-Beijing businessmen.[9]

History

Duowei News, whose original domain name was chinesenewsnet.com,[10] was founded by Ho Pin (何频) on 11 January 1999,[11] who used to work for a Chinese state-run newspaper but left due to negative feelings towards the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre.[12]

On June 27, 2004, Duowei's new domain name, dwnews.com,[13] was created. Duowei continued to be an online independent Chinese-language media website for years until 2009 when the website was sold to the Hong Kong media mogul Yu Pun-hoi[14] who was considered to be pro-Beijing.[9]

Ho Pin later published Mingjing News. Duowei had a news bureau in Beijing.[4][15] According to a Hoover Institution report, after the 2009 sale, Duowei moved its headquarters to Beijing.[9]

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

Duowei News closed on 26 April 2022.[17]
