A Cry Memorialized

Hong Kong Ta Kung Wen Wei Media Group
Hong Kong Ta Kung Pao Wen Wei Po Media Group (香港大公文汇传媒集团) was established in January 2016, operating Ta Kung Pao (大公报), Hong Kong Wen Wei Po (香港文汇报), and multiple digital platforms as a Hong Kong-based, state-owned Chinese-language media conglomerate. Under the leadership of the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, the group upholds strong pro-China positions and often serves to attack critics in the territory, including scholars and democracy figures. Ta Kung Pao, founded June 17, 1902, in Tianjin, claims to be “the oldest existing Chinese newspaper.” Wen Wei Po was established in Shanghai in 1938 and resumed publication in Hong Kong on September 9, 1948, positioning itself as a “main channel” for Hong Kong residents to understand central government policies. The group operates news centers across mainland China and correspondent bureaus in multiple countries, describing its mission as “transmitting China’s voice” and supporting “One Country, Two Systems” implementation.
