The Kung Sheung Daily News was a Chinese language newspaper published in Hong Kong under British colonial rule. It was owned indirectly by Ho Shai-lai [zh] (Chinese: 何世禮), a former Republic of China general and son of Hong Kong tycoon Robert Ho Tung.[1] It was a pro-Kuomintang newspaper and ran according to the Minguo calendar.
In tandem with The Kung Sheung Evening News (Chinese: 工商晚報), it was published by "The Industrial and Commercial Daily Press Limited" (Chinese: 工商日報有限公司), which was incorporated on 10 November 1928.
In 1954, Kung Sheung co-founded - with three other major papers - the Newspaper Society of Hong Kong.
The Kung Sheung Daily News was also published as an "export imprint" (Chinese: 外埠版; lit. 'Outer Port version'), targeting Taiwan.[2]
The publisher was wound up on 26 December 1996, many years after the newspapers ceased publication.[3]
History
Sir Robert Ho Tung acquired Kung Sheung Daily News in 1929. At the time, the newspaper was a loss-making business.[1]: 308 Under Ho Tung's ownership, it became one of the three leading Chinese language newspapers in Hong Kong in the 1950s (the other two being Sing Tao Daily and Wah Kiu Yat Po (Chinese: 華僑日報)), according to the Newspaper Society of Hong Kong.[4]
Shortly after the signing of the Sino-British Joint Declaration, Kung Sheung Daily News ceased publication, saying it was failing to make a profit and could not see a way forward.[1]: 312
