China Times
In 2019, the "Financial Times" published a report alleging that the "China Times" as well as Chung T'ien Television, also owned by Want Want, took daily orders from the Taiwan Affairs Office. The Want Want China Times Media Group subsequently filed defamation claims against the "Financial Times" and announced the intent to file defamation claims against any news organization that cited the "Financial Times" report. Reporters Without Borders called the lawsuit a "an abusive libel suit” and accused Want Want of harassing an experienced journalist. The lawsuit was dropped by Want Want on March 11, 2021.
