Xing hua ri dao 醒華日報 (Shing-Wah Daily News)

Published in Toronto between 1922 and 1990, Shing Wah Daily News (醒華日報) was the official organ of overseas branch of Kuomintang Party (KMT). Given its long span of publication and broad coverage of international, national and local news it can be credited as one of the most important Chinese language newspapers in Canada. The newspaper itself played a very important role in united and motivating Chinese immigrants during the Sino-Japanese War and thereafter. Since US established formal diplomatic relationship with People's Republic of China in 1979, the influence of KMT government and its overseas branches on overseas Chinese communities has been weakened by the influence of mainland China. The importance of the paper among local Chinese people faded out eventually in early 1990s. Through the years, the Shing Wah Daily News had been used by KMT Party to deliver their messages to the Chinese community in the Toronto area and beyond.
