China mail newspaper

You're referring to the China Mail, a historic newspaper that was published in Hong Kong from 1856 to 1951.

The China Mail was a daily newspaper that was founded by a group of British entrepreneurs, including William Henry Smart, who was also the founder of the Hong Kong Daily Press. The newspaper was initially published in English and was aimed at the British expatriate community in Hong Kong.

The China Mail was known for its coverage of local and international news, as well as its commentary on politics, business, and society. It was also famous for its sensationalist reporting and its use of bold headlines.

During its heyday in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the China Mail was one of the most popular and influential newspapers in Hong Kong. It was widely read by the British colonial elite, as well as by the local Chinese population.

However, the China Mail's popularity began to decline in the mid-20th century, as the newspaper industry in Hong Kong became more competitive and the city's population became more cosmopolitan. The newspaper was eventually merged with another Hong Kong newspaper, the Hong Kong Daily Press, in 1951.

Today, the China Mail is largely remembered as a relic of Hong Kong's colonial past, and its archives are held by the Hong Kong Public Library.
