Frequently Asked Questions
What is South China Morning Post?
South China Morning Post (SCMP) is Hong Kong's premier English-language newspaper, founded in 1903. It's the most authoritative source for news on China, Hong Kong, and Asia for international readers. Now owned by Alibaba Group, SCMP remains editorially independent and is read by business leaders, diplomats, and analysts tracking the world's second-largest economy.
What kind of content will I hear?
You'll hear in-depth coverage of China's economy, politics, and technology sector. Stories include US-China relations, Hong Kong affairs, Asian geopolitics, Chinese tech giants (Alibaba, Tencent, ByteDance), and analysis of Xi Jinping's policies. SCMP goes deeper than Western outlets on China stories.
How is SCMP different from BBC or CNN coverage of China?
SCMP is based in Hong Kong with reporters across mainland China and Asia. They have access and sources that Western outlets don't. While BBC or CNN cover China as foreign correspondents, SCMP covers it as their home beat — with more nuance, local context, and insider perspective.
