The Economic Daily (Chinese: 经济日报)[2] is a Chinese state-owned newspaper focusing on economic reports.[3] Founded in Beijing on January 1, 1983,[4] the newspaper is a deputy ministerial-level institution under the State Council.[3] The newspaper is managed by the Central Propaganda Department of the Chinese Communist Party.[3]

In 1984, Deng Xiaoping wrote an inscription for the Economic Daily.[5]

In October 2020, the United States Department of State designated the Economic Daily as a foreign mission of China.[6][7]

Hoax

On January 28, 1993, Economic Daily published an article entitled Can Water Really Become Gasoline? —— A Record of Private Entrepreneur Wang Hongcheng and His Invention (水真能变成油吗?——记民营企业家王洪成与他的发明).[8] The article, written by Economic Daily reporters Wu Hongbo (吴红博) and Liu Donghua (刘东华), [9] praised the "invention" of Wang Hongcheng (王洪成) for transforming water into gasoline as "China's fifth greatest invention" (中国第五大发明) after the traditional Four Great Inventions. [10][11] However, the water-to-gasoline technology (水变油技术) was later deemed a hoax and pseudoscience,[12] and in 1998, its initiator, Wang Hongcheng, was sentenced to 10 years in prison.[13]
