United Daily News Newspaper Information

The United Daily News is a newspaper published in the Republic of China in both Traditional and Simplified Chinese. It is one of the three biggest newspapers in Taiwan, the other two being the China Times and the Liberty Times.

UDN was founded in 1951 by Wang Tiwu as a merger of three newspapers, Popular Daily, National, and the Economic Times. The three newspapers formally merged in 1953. In terms of political orientation, the UDN is strongly Pan-Blue. Before Taiwan democratized, it was an opponent of political reform; in the years since Taiwan has democratized, it has advocated policies leading to an incorporation of Taiwan within China.
