Orange News (Chinese: 橙新聞) is a Hong Kong-based news website established in 2014. The site is owned by Sino United Publishing and funded by the Hong Kong Liaison Office, with its editorial stance generally regarded as pro-Beijing. Orange News was established by Sino United Publishing under its subsidiary, Cloud Connect Technology (Chinese: 雲通科技), in December 2014, targeting both residents of the Greater Bay Area and the Hong Kong diaspora. Mass media scholar Ryan Ho Kilpatrick considered that the name "Orange News" is meant to position the outlet in opposition to the pro-democratic media Apple Daily. Orange News also owns multiple subsidiaries, including the YouTube channels Warm Talking (圍爐), Why Do We Dream (發緊夢), and All About Money (搵錢呢啲嘢), the Facebook page "Culture Is..."(文化本事), and the TikTok channel "Hong Kong Drifters Have A Say" (港漂有話說). In April 2015, Next Magazine reported that Orange News was controlled by the Hong Kong Liaison Office, as investigative reports revealed that Sino United Publishing was owned by a shell company, Guangdong New Culture Development (廣東新文化事業發展), which was fully owned by the Liaison Office and held 99.99% and 88.44% shares in Ta Kung Pao and Wen Wei Po, respectively. The website was also funded by the Liaison Office. Following this revelation, media outlets widely referred Orange News as being under the control of the Liaison Office. More information...
