The website was founded by Ho Pin (何频) in 1999, who used to work for Chinese state-run paper but left due to feelings towards the Tiananmen Square crackdown of 1989.[5] In 2009, the website was sold to the Hong Kong media mogul Yu Pun-hoi.[6]

Ho Pin now publishes Mingjing News. Duowei has a news bureau in Beijing.[2][7]

Duowei News correctly predicted the lineups of the 16th and 17th National Congress of the Communist Party in 2002 and 2007 respectively.[8]
