The name "CommonWealth" stems from the traditional Chinese concept of "the world belongs to everyone," symbolizing the aspiration and pursuit of a better society. In 1981, CommonWealth Magazine was founded. Since then, Taiwan has had a warm and calm voice. At that time, the United States had already severed diplomatic ties with the Republic of China for two years, and the latter was then isolated and marginalized internationally, while experiencing internal unrest.
With a positive, forward-looking, and global perspective, CommonWealth Magazine aims to help Taiwan find its place in the world's progress, guide businesses in coping with political and economic changes, bridge communication between leaders and the middle class, and provide independent news, perspectives, and information for readers in Taiwan and the Chinese-speaking world.
For over 40 years, CommonWealth has been dedicated to the pursuit of a better and fairer society. Our concerns have expanded from national and social issues to individual physical and mental health. Today, the group has diversified, with subsidiaries including "CommonWealth Learning," "CommonWealth Magazine Publishing," "CommonHealth Magazine," "CommonWealth Education Media and Publishing," and the "CommonWealth Magazine Education Foundation." These subsidiaries operate in fields such as financial management, professional learning, financial publishing, healthy living, parenting education, and rural area reading education, making the group a media conglomerate with significant positive influence.
