__TOC__

== Summary ==
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 government|Chinese]]-directed [[Hong Kong government]], [[human rights in China]], and the ''SCMP''{{'}}s  current owner, [[Alibaba Group|Alibaba]]. Editors are encouraged to critically access  ''SCMP''{{'}}s coverage of such topics due to China's [[Censorship in China|poor record on freedom of speech and press]], as well as its influence over Hong Kong [[2020 Hong Kong national security law|post-2020]].
