Wen Wei Po is a pro-Beijing state-owned newspaper based in Hong Kong. The newspaper was established in Hong Kong on 9 September 1948, after its Shanghai edition was launched in 1938. Its head office is in the Hing Wai Centre (Chinese: 興偉中心) in Aberdeen, Hong Kong. It is owned by Ta Kung Wen Wei Media Group, which is controlled by the liaison office of the Chinese government in Hong Kong. Wen Wei Po is subsidised by and advocates for the Chinese government. Wen Wei Po accounts for less than 1 per cent of Hong Kong's readership and is mainly read by readers in mainland China and older Hong Kong readers. In a 2019 public opinion survey conducted by the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Wen Wei Po was rated by respondents as the second least credible paid newspaper in Hong Kong.
