Currently, Duowei News is prochina but is blocked in Mainland China, [5] but it is regarded as a grand overseas propaganda media of Chinese Communist Party.[6][7]

History

Duowei News, whose original domain name was chinesenewsnet.com,[8] was founded by Ho Pin (何频) on 11 January 1999,[9] who used to work for Chinese state-run paper but left due to feelings towards the Tiananmen Square crackdown of 1989.[10]

On June 27, 2004, Duowei's new domain name, dwnews.com,[11] was created. In 2009, the website was sold to the Hong Kong media mogul Yu Pun-hoi.[12]

Ho Pin now publishes Mingjing News. Duowei has a news bureau in Beijing.[4][13]

Duowei News correctly predicted the lineups of the 16th and 17th National Congress of the Communist Party in 2002 and 2007 respectively.[14]

gollark: Functions implicitly do it:```javascriptconst thing = () => { let v = 0 return () => { return v++ }}const incrementer = thing()console.log(incrementer())console.log(incrementer())```
gollark: The thing where functions capture their scope.
gollark: ```lualet otherTesting = [];for(let i = 0; i < 10; i++) { otherTesting[i] = function() { console.log(i); }}```does the same thing so I suppose it's just weirdness with closure in loops.
gollark: Er, 9, not 10.
gollark: Hmm, I'd really expect that to print `10`, weird.
