Lianhe Zaobao (聯合早報) is Singapore’s flagship Chinese-language daily newspaper, formed in March 1983 through the merger of Nanyang Siang Pau (南洋商報) and Sin Chew Jit Poh (星洲日報), two of Singapore’s oldest Chinese newspapers dating to the 1920s. The newspaper was initially published by Singapore News and Publications Limited before becoming part of Singapore Press Holdings in 1984. Currently published by SPH Media Trust, the newspaper maintains a daily circulation of approximately 136,900 print and digital copies as of 2021. Lianhe Zaobao became the first Chinese newspaper to go online in 1995 and the first foreign Chinese-language newspaper authorized for public distribution in China in 1993. In 2019, the newspaper launched ThinkChina (思想中國), an English-language digital magazine focused on China-related content and analysis.
