Want Want

Want Want Holdings Limited (Want Want; Chinese: 旺旺集團有限公司; pinyin: Wàngwàng Jítuán Yǒuxiàn Gōngsī) is a food manufacturer and media corporation from Taiwan.

[5] In 1962, Want Want began operations in the name of I Lan Foods Industrial Company Limited (宜蘭食品工業股份有限公司) in Yilan County, Taiwan, which manufactured canned agricultural products.

[citation needed] Tsai Eng-meng took over his father's food business at the age of 19 and came up with a new product—crackers made from rice flour.

[15] The Financial Times reported that these ties include coordination with the Chinese government's Taiwan Affairs Office.

[18] In November 2019, Wang Liqiang, a self-proclaimed Chinese spy who defected to Australia, claimed that the Want Want China Times Group's media brands China Television and Chung T'ien Television had received funding from a company affiliated with the People's Liberation Army in return for airing stories unfavorable of the Taiwanese government and sought to influence the upcoming 2020 election.
