South China Morning Post

The South China Morning Post is a Hong Kong-based English-language newspaper owned by China's Alibaba Group since 2016. It is widely regarded as tilting toward favorable coverage of mainland China, and academic studies have found its editorial stance has shifted closer to Beijing's positions since the Alibaba acquisition. On the Trump administration, its coverage is mixed: it reports critically on U.S. tariffs and trade actions against China but does not take strong positions on U.S. domestic politics.
