South China Morning Post

The South China Morning Post (SCMP) is a Hong Kong-based English-language newspaper that has been a prominent source of news and analysis for decades. Recent reports from the SCMP indicate its continued role in breaking significant local and regional stories. The newspaper has learned about the upcoming state funeral for Hong Kong's first chief executive, Tung Chee-hwa, highlighting his legacy and contributions. It has also reported on government accountability, such as a senior official being asked to resign over defective hospital lifts, and the ongoing dispute over the 'Pillar of Shame' sculpture. Furthermore, the SCMP is covering initiatives aimed at helping local media 'go global,' demonstrating its involvement in shaping Hong Kong's media landscape. Its archival content, such as a 2011 article on Deanie Ip winning best actress at Venice and a 2001 piece on 9/11, showcases its historical depth. The SCMP remains a key outlet for understanding Hong Kong and its relationship with mainland China and the wider world.
