Core Business: English-Language Financial News from China
Yicai Global's entire business revolves around the creation, curation, and distribution of English-language content focused on China's business and financial environment.

The key value proposition is providing insights directly from within China, leveraging the access and understanding of its parent organization, Yicai Media Group (第一财经 - Di Yi Cai Jing).
Yicai Media Group itself is a major player within China, known for its financial newspaper (China Business News), television channel (Yicai TV), digital platforms (Yicai.com), and research arm (Yicai Research Institute). Yicai Global draws upon these resources to deliver its content.
