classification Usually reliable for typical purposes

The South China Morning Post is widely considered to be the English-language newspaper of record in Hong Kong. In the 2020 RFC, there was consensus that the SCMP is generally reliable for non-political topics, with a rough consensus that additional considerations apply to the newspaper's coverage of certain topics. These include the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), the Chinese-directed Hong Kong government, human rights in China, and the SCMP's current owner, Alibaba. Editors are encouraged to critically access SCMP's coverage of such topics due to China's poor record on freedom of speech and press, as well as its influence over Hong Kong post-2020.
