Ming Pao

Ming Pao (明報) is a Chinese-language newspaper published in Hong Kong. Founded in 1959 by Louis Cha (also known as Jin Yong), a renowned wuxia novelist, Ming Pao initially distinguished itself through its serious and objective reporting, as well as its literary content and cultural commentary.

Over the years, Ming Pao has become known for its coverage of political and social issues, both in Hong Kong and mainland China. It is generally considered to be a newspaper with a moderate stance, often critical of both the Hong Kong and Chinese governments while also advocating for stability and gradual progress. The newspaper also covers international news, business, finance, and lifestyle topics.

Ming Pao maintains an online presence, offering news and articles through its website and mobile applications. The newspaper has faced challenges in recent years due to a changing media landscape and increasing political pressures in Hong Kong. It continues to be a significant voice in Hong Kong's media landscape and a source of information for Chinese-speaking communities worldwide.
