財經雜誌於1998年創辦, 目前是大陸最具影響力的雜誌, 因為它的經濟包裝, 反而爭取到比較大的言論空間, 曾揭發很多大陸貪污新聞, 最有趣的是雜誌主編Hu Shuli有大陸工運的背景, 因為其敢言, 她被譽為中國最可怕的女人(the most dangerous woman in China):
Hu Shuli, the most powerful business editor in China, used to write propaganda for Workers' Daily, the Communist Party's publication. Now Ms. Hu pushes an aggressive staff of 50 young journalists to investigate government corruption and lift the veil on corporate fraud in China.
Since 1998, Ms. Hu, 52, has been the driving force behind Caijing magazine, a thriving business journal published twice a month that is now a must-read in the capital. At a time when the state still holds tight control over the media, regularly censoring articles and closing down errant publications, Caijing (which means "finance and economy") has artfully pushed the envelope on what is journalistically permissible, writing exposés on the government's reaction to severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS; stock market manipulation; and corruption at some of the nation's biggest state-owned banks.
