According to the People's Daily, investors in The Paper include the private equity firm Hony Capital, the Fortune Global 500 property developer Shanghai Greenland Group and the official Shanghai United Media Group (SUMG), which alone has reportedly spent at least $16 million. According to Qiu Xin, the party secretary of SUMG, The Paper and its sister financial website, Jiemian, are expected this year to earn more than $16 million in advertising revenue.
