About The Hong Kong News
The Hong Kong News is an independent English-language digital newspaper dedicated to rigorous, impartial reporting on Hong Kong and the wider Asia-Pacific region.
Our Mission
We exist to inform, challenge, and connect the English-speaking public in Hong Kong and globally. In a city at the intersection of East and West — a global financial hub, a complex political landscape, and one of Asia's richest cultural centres — clear, honest journalism has never been more essential.
Our mission is simple: to be the most trusted English-language source on Hong Kong affairs. We pursue this through original reporting, data journalism, investigative features, and authoritative commentary from writers who live and work in the city.
Our Coverage
The Hong Kong News covers the full breadth of life in Hong Kong and the region:
- Politics & Governance: Legislative Council proceedings, executive policy, regional and national political developments.
- Economy & Finance: Hang Seng performance, property market, banking, trade, and Hong Kong's role in global supply chains.
- Culture & Society: Arts, heritage, food, film, and the evolving identity of Hong Kong communities.
- Technology: Fintech, startup ecosystems, digital regulation, and innovation across the Pearl River Delta.
