Founded on June 17, 1902, in Tianjin and published in Hong Kong since 1938, Ta Kung Pao is the world’s oldest active Chinese language newspaper. The 120th anniversary of the founding of Ta Kung Pao was celebrated in 2022. In a congratulatory letter, President Xi Jinping personally recognized the newspaper’s work and contribution, and expressed his hopes that it will continue to carry forward its patriotic tradition, strive for innovation and development, and expand its influence, so as to write an even more exciting chapter in the practice of “one country, two systems” and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Ta Kung Pao focuses on political, economic and cultural news as well as political and economic commentaries. Its supplement maintains its usual emphasis on informativeness and originality, which makes it stand out among the Hong Kong press. The constant flow of well-crafted feature stories behind the news is another important reason why Ta Kung Pao has been readers’ choice over the years.
