Political Stance
The Sing Tao has a pro-government history. Before the reunification of Hong Kong with China, it supported the British colonial government; and once Hong Kong turned into a special administrative region, it turned support to the Beijing government.
On 11 November 2001, the Quebec Supreme Court issued an injunction against the local edition of Sing Tao Daily for libel against the Falun Gong, which is outlawed in the People's Republic of China as an "evil cult".

Famous quotes containing the words political and/or stance:
“... by and large, wife-changing and high office are not compatible. This inequity accounts for the many dull women in Washington and is the cause of much smug complacency on the distaff side of political marriages.”
—Barbara Howar (b. 1934)
“For good teaching rests neither in accumulating a shelfful of knowledge nor in developing a repertoire of skills. In the end, good teaching lies in a willingness to attend and care for what happens in our students, ourselves, and the space between us. Good teaching is a certain kind of stance, I think. It is a stance of receptivity, of attunement, of listening.”
—Laurent A. Daloz (20th century)
