When it started in 2001 Beijing Times had 12% of the Beijing newspaper market and its percentage increased afterwards. Tang Wenfang and Shanto Iyengar, authors of Political Communication China Media, described the paper as one of the "commercialized papers emerging in the early 2000s".[1]
On April 10, 2013, the Beijing Times accused the company Nongfu Spring of intentionally not adopting Chinese national water standards and instead adopting the lower standards of Zhejiang province.[2] In November 2013, the company accused the Beijing Times of defamation and filed a lawsuit in the Beijing Second Intermediate People's Court against the newspaper, demanding 60 million yuan (US$9.85 million).[2]
In 2023, a seemingly unrelated pro-Chinese Communist Party news website called the Beijing Times began publication. The news website contains no identified human reporters and photos of its reporters appear AI-generated.[3]
