China Daily, China’s national English-language newspaper, was founded in 1981. It is the only Chinese newspaper that has effectively entered major Western markets and is the newspaper most often quoted by the foreign press. Global readers recognize China Daily as the most authoritative and influential English-language media in the country. The newspaper serves as an important window from which “China learns to understand the world and the world learns to understand China”.

Launched in 1997, the China Daily Hong Kong Edition offers a unique local perspective that has become essential reading for decision-makers, including HKSAR government officials, CEOs and senior executives, scholars and academics in Hong Kong. It offers a ringside view of the dynamic economic and social development underway both on the Chinese mainland and in Hong Kong.

The newspaper connects local readers to the Chinese mainland with first-hand, critical insight that cannot be duplicated by other local news media. A roster ofHong Kong opinion leaders and freelance writers add their contributions, helping to ensure that China Daily Hong Kong Edition remains closely connected to the local community.
