In July 1978, some former employees of Ta Kung Pao founded the Financial and Trade Front Post (财贸战线报),[9] which was renamed China Financial and Trade Post (中国财贸报) in 1981, and Economic Daily was founded on this basis.[10]

In 1984, Deng Xiaoping wrote the name of the Economic Daily in his own handwriting.[11] In September 1999, the online version of Economic Daily went online, which is the predecessor of the current China Economic Net (中国经济网).[12]

In October 2020, the United States Department of State designated the Economic Daily as a "foreign mission" of China.[13][14]

Criticism and controversies
Main article: Hongcheng Magic Liquid

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).[15] The article, written by Economic Daily reporters Wu Hongbo (吴红博) and Liu Donghua (刘东华), [16] 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. [17][18] However, the water-to-gasoline technology (水变油技术) was later deemed a hoax and pseudoscience,[19] and in 1998, its initiator, Wang Hongcheng, was sentenced to 10 years in prison.[20]
