With its unique Hong Kong base – a gateway to mainland China – the South China Morning Post has played an important role in providing insights and updated information about Greater China to the outside world since it was first published 115 years ago.

In Singapore, Collin Koh, a research fellow at the Maritime Security Programme at the S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies, said he reads the Post primarily to learn about maritime security and naval affairs.

He said he is most impressed by the organisation’s reporting on South China Sea issues, Beijing’s ambitious Belt and Road infrastructure initiative and China’s military.
