Regarding this, Lin Bochuan, chief consultant of Want Want Group, said that these are unconfirmed rumors, but also revealed that senior management did hold a meeting about the future development of "Want News" recently. Discussion, but no resolution yet.
According to Taiwan's "Central News Agency" report, Lin Baichuan, chief consultant of Want Want Group, said in an interview with a reporter from "Central News Agency" that such news are all unconfirmed rumors at present. At present, the operation of "Want Want News" is still as before. Will it happen next? The transformation has not been finalized yet. But he also said that senior management did have a meeting recently to discuss the future positioning of "Wang Bao".
Taiwan's "Wind Media" recently reported that "Wang Bao" will be changed to a clipped newspaper. There are currently two plans planned. The first plan is to change it to a clipped newspaper starting from April 1, focusing on the production of special topics, and will be published from Monday to Friday. The eight-page edition is sold in Taiwan's "China Times"; the second plan is to suspend publication and turn it into a weekend newspaper of "China Times", and mainly report soft news.
Regarding this, Lin Baichuan said that the second plan mentioned in the report has long been rejected. The current number of corporate subscribers of "China Times" is still as high as 20%. Many corporate accounts are not working on weekends, so "Wang Bao" changed it to The weekend newspapers of China Times are of little benefit.

A resolution will not be reached until mid-March at the latest, so it is not suitable to express too many opinions at this stage. He said frankly that "Wang Bao" mainly focuses on cross-strait news and will continue to adhere to this main axis in the future. (Yixu)
