中國時報
Before Tsai Eng-Meng bought it, The political position of the "China Times" had been slanted towards the pan-blue coalition (pro-unification), although it was considered more moderate than the "United Daily News". Relations with the Kuomintang nationalist government have in the past been close, but when the "China Times U.S. Edition" ceased publication after the Chiang Nan Murder Case in October 1984, the "China Times" broke with then KMT president Chiang Ching-kuo in protest. Since the 1980s, the "China Times" has developed a more liberal and pro-democratic stance, often concerned with progressive issues such as social justice or environmental concerns. During the 1990s, the "China Times" was often supportive of the opposition Democratic Progressive Party, more on the grounds of liberalism rather than Taiwanese Independence. China Television (CTV) used to be owned by the Kuomintang and was sold to the China Times group in 2006.
