The Hong Kong Commercial Daily (Chinese: 香港商報) (HKCD) is a Chinese state-owned newspaper, published in broadsheet format in Hong Kong and dubbed “China’s international media window” by the central government.[1] Established in 1952, it was the first financial newspaper in the Chinese language. It is one of the few newspapers authorized by the Hong Kong SAR government to publicize legal announcements, and also the only Hong Kong newspaper allowed to be circulated freely in mainland China. It is controlled by the Hong Kong Liaison Office and has a branch office in Shenzhen.
As of September 2024[update], the Media and Journalism Research Center evaluated the parent company of Hong Kong Commercial Daily, Guangdong Xin Wenhua, to be "Captured Public or State Managed/Owned Media" under its State Media Matrix.[2][3]
