The SCMP prints paper editions in Hong Kong and operates an online news website that is blocked in mainland China.

The newspaper's circulation has been relatively stable for years—the average daily circulation stood at 100,000 in 2016. In a 2019 survey by the Chinese University of Hong Kong, the SCMP was regarded relatively as the most credible paid newspaper in Hong Kong.^[6]

The SCMP was owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation from 1986 until it was acquired by Malaysian real estate tycoon Robert Kuok in 1993.^[3] On 5 April 2016, Alibaba Group acquired the media properties of the SCMP Group, including the SCMP.^[2][7] In January 2017, former Digg CEO Gary Liu became the SCMP's chief executive officer.^[8]

Since the change of ownership in 2016, concerns have been raised about the paper's editorial independence and self-censorship. Critics including The New York Times, Der Spiegel, and The Atlantic have alleged that the paper is on a mission to promote China's soft power abroad.^[9][10]

China’s space plane could be sending signals to a hidden ground station or a ship near North America’s west coast, according to an amateur astronomer who has been tracking the craft since it entered Earth’s orbit last week.

Strong emissions were detected at the frequency of 2280 megahertz while the uncrewed reusable plane was flying over British Columbia, Canada, where Scott Tilley is based, he told the South China Morning Post on Tuesday.
