South China Morning Post

News with a China and Asia focus

South China Morning Post is an English-language news app for readers who want regular reporting on China, Hong Kong and the wider Asian region. Its coverage spans business, technology, politics, culture and lifestyle, making it a useful fit for people following the region closely rather than relying only on general international headlines.

A more selective reading list

The app includes tools for narrowing the daily news flow. You can follow subjects and authors, then use myNEWS to receive a shorter selection of stories shaped around those interests. Focus View is designed for finding developing reports, explainers and other pieces that may be easy to miss in a standard chronological feed.

Sections you can arrange

Navigation can be adjusted so frequently used areas are easier to reach. That is helpful if you mainly read business and technology, or if you prefer to keep lifestyle and culture sections close at hand. Alongside written articles, the app presents SCMP Films, podcasts and infographics for stories that benefit from video, audio or visual context.

Who it suits

This is a sensible choice for professionals, students, travellers and internationally minded readers who need a consistent source of English-language reporting from Asia. It is less suited to someone looking only for brief local headlines or a general-purpose news feed.

Published by SCMP Publishers Limited, the app is listed in News & Magazines and has a 4.62 rating from 6,259 reviews, with 500,000+ installs. Those figures suggest an established readership, while the app’s strongest reason to choose it is its regional editorial focus.
