Hoax

Main article: Hongcheng Magic Liquid

On January 28, 1993, Economic Daily published an article entitled Can Water Really Become Gasoline? —— A Record of Private Entrepreneur Wang Hongcheng and His Invention (水真能变成油吗?——记民营企业家王洪成与他的发明).[7] The article, written by Economic Daily reporters Wu Hongbo (吴红博) and Liu Donghua (刘东华),[8] praised the "invention" of Wang Hongcheng (王洪成) for transforming water into gasoline as "China's fifth greatest invention" (中国第五大发明) after the traditional Four Great Inventions.[9][10] However, the water-to-gasoline technology (水变油技术) was later deemed a hoax and pseudoscience,[11] and in 1998, its initiator, Wang Hongcheng, was sentenced to 10 years in prison.[12]
