Caijing is an independent magazine based in Beijing that covers societal, political, and economic issues, with a focus on civil rights, public affairs, and business.

[1] Caijing was established by Hu Shuli in 1998[2] and has become a vehicle for independent reporting and criticism of all sorts and an exception to the rule about the strictures and limits on the Chinese domestic press.

[2][5] The magazine's circulation is limited to about 200,000, but readers are said to include many of China’s most important offices in government, finance, and academia, making it one of the country's most influential publications.

The website provides original news and analysis for readers seeking a clear picture of business, finance and economic developments in China.

Since 2004, it has attracted leading participants from government agencies and industries in China, as well as renowned economists and academics around the world.
