It gives me great pleasure to congratulate China Daily Hong Kong Edition on its 25th anniversary with my heartfelt appreciation for the benchmark it has set for professional journalism. 

In the past 25 years, CDHK has been renowned for capturing colorful stories from all walks of life in this fast-changing world and put the remarkable achievements of our country and Hong Kong on record through its newspaper and multimedia online platforms.

As Hong Kong is starting a new chapter towards prosperity and stability, I am certain that CDHK has a key role to play in telling the good stories of China and its Hong Kong SAR while bringing fair and balanced viewpoints to the worldwide readers. 

Looking ahead, I wish to encourage the editorial team of CDHK to keep up their efforts in striving for excellence and bringing quality news stories with critical insight to the wider public in the years to come.

Andrew Leung Kwan-yuen, President of the Legislative Council


I wish to offer my sincere congratulations to China Daily Hong Kong Edition on its 25th anniversary.

CDHK was founded in the same year as the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Hong Kong and CDHK share a common goal of supporting our country’s renaissance, and showcasing the success of “one country, two systems” as a peaceful means of achieving national reunification.

I am a longstanding subscriber to CDHK and have always enjoyed reading it, for the following reasons:

CDHK provides authoritative coverage of national policies and statements made by our top leaders. Few English-language media outlets can beat CDHK when it comes to daily comprehensive and accurate coverage of policy developments in China.

CDHK tells a captivating story of China, from the ancient to the modern, from scientific discoveries to artistic achievements.

In a world dominated by Western media, which report on global events through their skewed ideological lens, CDHK enables us to see world events in a more balanced, refreshing and objective perspective.

I wish CDHK every success in its future endeavors.

Regina Ip Lau Suk-yee, Convener of the Executive Council Chairwoman of the New People’s Party 


Nowadays, reports on China in the English media — regardless of whether they are on its politics, economy, or social matters — often reflect the authors’ subjective perceptions and interpretations of a given situation. Sometimes, these articles zoom in on certain points which are not necessarily the most significant aspects of a newsworthy event; at other times, they simply take a critical approach to reporting an event.

For businessmen, researchers, and people generally interested in what’s happening in China — such as the central government’s stance, its economic policies, people’s livelihoods, day-to-day developments, and so on — China Daily Hong Kong Edition is probably the most dependable and accurate news medium they can rely on. This is why I read CDHK, and I recommend it to my friends.

CDHK has served us well over the last quarter of a century. I look forward to CDHK’s ongoing efforts to keep us properly informed about events in our great country and in the rest of the world.

Rita Fan Hsu Lai-tai, Former president of the Legislative Council


It is my great pleasure and honor to join the celebration of your anniversary.

Pansy Ho Chiu-king, Group executive chairman and managing director, Shun Tak Holdings


On Oct 6, 1997, I was one of the first recipients to receive the China Daily Hong Kong Edition from the publisher.

On that memorable day, the late Guy F Tozzoli, president of World Trade Centers Association, read the first edition of China Daily Hong Kong Edition together with Madame Wu Yi, the then-minister of foreign trade and economic co-operation of the People’s Republic of China, before the official opening ceremony to celebrate the 28th General Assembly of the World Trade Centers Association, which was held for the first time in Hong Kong since July 1, 1997.

The General Assembly was attended by some 1,000 delegates, mainly from overseas cities, and all of them received a copy of China Daily Hong Kong Edition at the opening ceremony.

Twenty-five years on since that memorable occasion on Oct 6, 1997, I would like to extend my heartiest congratulations to China Daily Hong Kong Edition, which has been the most effective news medium, not only in HK, but also globally to provide updates and accurate news to its readers.

On behalf of the readers in the World Trade Centers Association network, I would like to convey my heartfelt thanks to the contribution your newspaper has made to provide useful news to readers worldwide. We look forward to our readers making use of the information from your newspaper to develop their business projects and investments in the Chinese market, especially in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

Annie Wu Suk-ching, Lifetime honorary board member of World Trade Centers Association Honorary chairman of Beijing Air Catering Co (Sino-foreign Joint Venture 001)


Twenty-five years. What a milestone! Happy anniversary, China Daily Hong Kong Edition!

This is really a great achievement for CDHK to be able to continue for 25 years to bring China to everyone in the world.

You can read all about the goings-on in China and what else is going on in the world.

I’m proud of you, CDHK. You’ve really risen to the top, and I look forward to the next 25 years.

Allan Zeman, Chairman of Lan Kwai Fong Group



I am delighted to extend my warmest congratulations to China Daily Hong Kong Edition on the occasion of its 25th anniversary.

Over the years, CDHK has become a leading English-language medium in Hong Kong, bringing professional and high-quality news reports to its readers while playing a key role in reporting key policy developments in Hong Kong. The publication has proven to be a valuable asset to journalism not only in Hong Kong but also in the region.

On this commemorative occasion, I wish CDHK greater success in the years to come.

Eddie Yue Wai-man, Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority


It gives me immense pleasure to extend my congratulations to China Daily Hong Kong Edition on reaching this important milestone, a celebration of a quarter-century’s commitment to quality journalism and dedicated service to the public. 

CDHK published its first issue in October 1997, just a few months after the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the city’s return to the motherland. Throughout the past 25 years, the newspaper has brought its readers credible news and insightful analyses on the remarkable developments in the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, and the region, establishing itself as one of Hong Kong’s top English-language newspapers. Undoubtedly, CDHK has been an important witness to the most significant events and has made enormous contributions to Hong Kong’s development and beyond.

May CDHK continue to grow its readership and influence and celebrate many more achievements in the decades to come.

Nancy Ip Yuk-yu, Neuroscientist, a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Incoming president of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology


Over the course of the past quarter-century, China Daily Hong Kong Edition has endeavored to deliver informative news to Hong Kong residents of all walks of life. As Hong Kong transitions into a new chapter, and the world adapts to the ever-changing environment, China Daily Hong Kong Edition will play an even more critical role, helping policymakers and senior executives to make well-informed decisions by keeping them connected to the world’s second-largest market.

Eden Woon, President of the American Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong



China Daily Hong Kong Edition has come a long way over the last 25 years in its reporting on a world undergoing enormous transitions. 

In tandem, Hong Kong has evolved considerably over the same time period, since it became a special administrative region of China, and CDHK has played an important role in connecting its readers with events in Hong Kong, the Chinese mainland and the Asia-Pacific region. 

Now, given the rapid pace of developments in the Greater Bay Area, CDHK will have to rise to new editorial challenges as the dynamics of Hong Kong as a “world city” enter a new chapter. 

Congratulations to CDHK on its 25th anniversary. 

Pana Janviroj, Editor, Asia News Network
