Cite Publishing Ltd. (城邦文化事業股份有限公司) was established in 1996 as part of a wave of consolidation in Taiwan's publishing industry. It grew rapidly by acquiring and integrating several well-known Taiwanese publishers and magazine titles, building a multi-imprint group. In the early 2000s, the company attracted the attention of Hong Kong media conglomerate TOM Group, which acquired a controlling stake. Under TOM Group's ownership, Cite Publishing expanded its portfolio and strengthened its digital capabilities. The group became known for its business and lifestyle magazines, including Business Weekly (商業周刊), and for a wide range of book imprints covering fiction, non-fiction, and children's literature. It also developed e-commerce and digital publishing platforms. Today, Cite Publishing remains a major force in the Chinese-language publishing market, headquartered in Taipei and operating across Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia.
