The South China Morning Post (SCMP) is a Hong Kong-based English-language newspaper founded in 1903. It is known for its comprehensive coverage of news in Hong Kong, China, and the broader Asia-Pacific region. The newspaper provides insights into politics, business, culture, and technology, making it a key source of information for both local and international readers. In 2016, the SCMP was acquired by the Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group, which has influenced its editorial direction. Despite this, the newspaper maintains a reputation for quality journalism and continues to attract a diverse audience interested in Asian affairs and global issues.
