BEIJING: One of the few independently funded English-language publications to cover China in depth for Western audiences, The China Project, is to close because of a lack of funding, its editor-in-chief, Jeremy Goldkorn, wrote in a post.
The China Project, which began as a newsletter in 2016 and was formerly known as SupChina, expanded to become a"news and business intelligence company focused on helping a global audience understand China", it says on its website.
Staff numbers increased too. But as with a number of online-based media companies in recent years, such as Buzzfeed News, financing became a problem."This week, we learned that a source of funding that we had been counting on was no longer going to come through, and we have had to make the difficult decision to close down."
"We have been accused many times in both countries of working for nefarious purposes for the government of the other," Goldkorn said.
