West Pacific Press (西太平洋通訊社), or WPP, is a Taipei-registered news agency incorporated on May 4, 2023, under Taiwan’s company registry (統編: 94104181), describing itself as “the first and only” Asia-Pacific media platform focused on West Pacific nations. WPP’s own website identifies it as a subsidiary of Excellence Media Group (卓越媒體集團). The company was founded by Wei Botao (韋伯韜), a former Republic of China government official who served as Director-General of the Executive Yuan’s budget office from June 10, 1996 to May 20, 2000, and chairman of Taiwan Tobacco and Liquor Corporation, and who has a documented history of cross-strait business engagement with Xiamen — including a 2011 meeting with Xiamen Mayor Liu Keqing (劉可清) to discuss establishing a joint venture financial company in the city’s Cross-Strait Financial Center. Wei’s published writing includes explicit advocacy for PRC geopolitical superiority, arguing that China practices a benevolent “kingly way” (王道) in world affairs. Xu Banghao (徐邦浩), president of Excellence Magazine (卓越雜誌) and head of Excellence Media Group, became WPP’s chairman and responsible person in September 2024 following an internal restructuring. Despite its ambitious self-description, WPP’s paid-in capital stands at just NT$325,000 and its registered address is shared by over 100 other companies — a common virtual office arrangement in Taiwan that raises questions about the company’s physical infrastructure, though WPP may operate from a separate location not reflected in its corporate registration. Alongside Taiwan defense and security reporting, WPP’s lifestyle section carries content sourced directly from the Fujian Southeast Network (福建東南網), a Fujian provincial state media outlet, including multiple items about Xiamen’s Huli District, alongside unedited commercial press releases accepted as editorial content. WPP signed media cooperation agreements with Korean outlets Korea Focus and Korea Daily in 2019.
