United Daily News

United Daily News (UDN; Chinese: 聯合報; pinyin: Liánhé Bào; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Liân-ha̍p-pò) is a newspaper published in Taiwan.

UDN was founded in 1951 by Wang Tiwu as a merger of three newspapers, Popular Daily (全民日報), National (民族報), and the Economic Times (經濟時報).

The newspaper's editorials have been critical of the Chinese Communist Party regularly, on issues such as those related to the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre and the Nobel Peace Prize laureate Liu Xiaobo.

[15] In July 2023, UDN published alleged meeting minutes of top officials in Taiwan purportedly discussing requests from the United States to develop bioweapons.

[23][24][16] Democratic Progressive Party members filed a legal case against the author on the grounds of forgery and making false claims.

After checking with government agencies, the Taipei District Prosecutors' Office concluded that the minutes were forged but found no evidence of it being committed by the reporter himself.
