The ''Sing Tao Daily'' () is Hong Kong's second largest Chinese language newspaper. It is owned by Sing Tao News Corporation Limited, of which Charles Ho Tsu Kwok () is the chairman. Its English language sister paper is ''The Standard''. The ''Sing Tao'' also maintains the news website singtao.com. There are also at least 16 overseas editions of the ''Sing Tao Daily'', which are published by 9 overseas news bureaus and circulated in 100 cities around the world. The overseas editions help facilitate easy access to homeland news for Chinese language readers outside China. == History == The parent company of the ''Sing Tao Daily'', the Sing Tao Newspaper Group Limited, was founded in 1938 and is based in Hong Kong. The ''Sing Tao Daily'' was first published in the same year. It has one of the longest publishing histories among the Chinese newspapers in Hong Kong. After establishing its overseas base office in New York City in 1965, the ''Sing Tao'' set up International News Centres in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, London, and Sydney. In all, the company now has twenty-two offices globally. In 1998, members of the management team were found guilty of falsifying market data. The Hong Kong government's decision not to charge the chairwoman Sally Aw for reasons of "public benefit" turned into a scandal for the Hong Kong legal system and was quoted as a reason for the million's march on 1 July 2003. Shortly after, financial problems forced Aw to sell out her stock in the Sing Tao Newspaper Group Limited. Sing Tao's Toronto edition is partially owned by Star Media Group, the publisher of the Toronto Star, a Torstar Corporation company. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sing Tao Daily」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
