What China Economic Net does

China Economic Net (CE.cn) is a key Chinese national news website sponsored by the Economic Daily Newspaper Group, launched on July 28, 2003, and headquartered in Beijing. The platform publishes approximately 10,000 pieces of economic news each day across 100+ professional channels and serves as a primary information source for Chinese government officials, business executives, economists, and the general public, as well as international audiences via content delivered in 8 foreign languages. Its coverage is supported by 58 local bureaus across Chinese provinces, autonomous regions, and large cities, foreign correspondents in 20+ countries, and a network of more than 1,000 observers and specialists cooperating with hundreds of government ministries, commissions, agencies, and state-owned enterprises.

The platform operates as a multi-channel digital news ecosystem combining the ce.cn website with CE Comment editorial analysis, CE Video Programs (financial video content broadcast internationally to South Korea, Russia, Pakistan, and South Africa), mobile products (WAP site, official WeChat account ranked ~20 nationally, Weibo), and a Photo Gallery across categories covering China, world, business, and lifestyle. Notably, CE.cn's ecosystem includes the Chinagoods AI Platform, which enables multilingual product video creation in 30+ languages for business owners. Sister publications under the Economic Daily Newspaper Group include Economic Daily, Securities Daily, China Building Materials News, China Fashion Weekly, China Entrepreneur, and others.

The business model combines advertising revenue on a high-traffic national news platform, digital subscription or premium content offerings, and the broader publishing operations of the parent group's 18 publications. Distribution extends through a Beijing headquarters, a Seoul-based joint venture (CE Networks Korea Co., Ltd., established November 8, 2016 as the first Sino-foreign joint-stock company under CE.cn), and a Hebei-based digital publishing joint venture (CE Wenrui, established July 2016). As a state-affiliated media entity, ownership rests entirely with the Economic Daily Newspaper Group with no venture capital or public-equity investors involved.
