Wen Wei Po is a pro-Beijing[1] state-owned newspaper based in Hong Kong. The newspaper was established in Hong Kong on 9 September 1948, 10 years after the launch of its Shanghai counterpart in 1938.

Its head office is located at the Hing Wai Centre (Chinese: 興偉中心) in Aberdeen, Hong Kong.[2]

The paper is owned by Ta Kung Wen Wei Media Group, which is controlled by the liaison office of the Chinese government in Hong Kong.[3] Wen Wei Po is subsidised by and advocates for the Chinese government.[4]: 139  Wen Wei Po accounts for less than 1 percent of Hong Kong's readership,[4]: 139  and is mainly read by an audience in mainland China and older Hong Kong readers.[1]: 20 

In a 2019 public opinion survey conducted by the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Wen Wei Po was rated by respondents as the second least credible paid newspaper in Hong Kong.[5]
