Wen Wei Po is a Hong Kong-based Chinese language newspaper, first established in Shanghai in January 1938, with the Hong Kong version launched on 9 September 1948.
The publishing of Wen Wei Po aims at supporting New China, that is the People's Republic of China and delivering the latest Mainland developments, especially over the last 20 years. A rare exception was in 1989 when the editorial board openly objected to the use of force in the 1989 Tiananmen Square Protests. As a consequence the editorial was replaced shortly thereafter.
The paper also covers and comments on Hong Kong news.
Wen Wei Po is an officially recognised newspaper for publishing legal advertisements under the direction of the government of Hong Kong.
