Hong Kong Post (newspaper)

Hong Kong Post (香港ポスト) is a Japanese-language weekly newspaper published in Hong Kong every Friday and owned by Mikuni Company. The newspaper first appeared in June 1987. It used to be sold in shops such as Citysuper, but is now free. It was formerly published by Pasona Press (HK) Co., Ltd.

Financial, economic, and political topics are stressed by this publication, and people working in business fields are the main clientele of the publication. Harumi Befu and Sylvie Guichard-Anguis, authors of Globalizing Japan: Ethnography of the Japanese presence in Asia, Europe, and America, described the paper as "A Major source of information for Hong Kong's Japanese residents".

History
The newspaper reported on anti-Japanese protests in 1996, including those targeting the Hong Kong Japanese School. Due to the protests being a reaction against past Japanese military actions, the newspaper's reporting lacked anger and shock towards the protests. Befu and Guichard-Anguis stated that the newspaper implied that "the past is irrelevant to the present" even though it never explicitly denied historical Japanese atrocities in Asia in any article.

Mikuni Company Limited was the publisher. In November 2018 the publishing was suspended. In 2019 Hirose Trading HK Limited became the publisher, and publication resumed.
