Okay you got me. I finally gave SCMP a click. But it was worth it!
SCMP is basically Hong Kong's WSJ
Well, I don't often give the WSJ clicks either, but wouldn't its equivalent be the HKET?
SCMP has gone a bit weird since it was bought by Alibaba.
SCMP is widely recognized as HK's newspaper of record.
WSJ is also owned by Newscorp, so I believe it's a fair comparison even though Alibaba now owns SCMP.
Searching HKET on Wikipedia leads me to a page with a "Conservatism in China" sidebar.
HKET is HK's best selling financial newspaper. Might be an Overton window issue but to me the WSJ is also conservative.
That said yeah I'm not disagreeing with you that SCMP is HK's main paper. But I happen to avoid it.
