ABOUT THE WANG REPORT

The Wang Report is an APAC-focused news and analysis publication based in Hong Kong. It covers cross-strait and Indo-Pacific geopolitics, Hong Kong finance, regional cybersecurity, AI, climate, health, sport and entertainment, with daily briefings and weekly long-form columns from a named masthead of senior correspondents.

The masthead

Walter Wang (王 凱 然) is Editor-in-Chief. The publication carries the masthead he assembled — fourteen correspondents across nine desks, plus two news anchors filing daily editions. See the Masthead page for full bios and beat assignments. Every briefing carries Walter's margin note, signed -- WR.

What we publish

• Daily briefings — two-paragraph desk takes from each senior correspondent, on rotation Monday through Friday. Walter reads and notes each one before it ships.
• Weekly columns — long-form analysis on each desk, one per week per correspondent.
• Daily editions — morning and evening from news anchors Charmaine Lo and Maarten Bakker, framing the day across desks.
• Editor's Corner — Walter's weekly column, the house view.
• HKJC Read — twice-weekly horse-racing data feature, co-bylined by Vivian Wong and Aya Nakamura.

Editorial principles

• Facts before framing. Every claim sourced; every named institution named at desk or division level.
• No fictional quotes attributed to real public figures.
• Corrections are factual and unceremonious; the publication does not bury them.
• The publication is skeptical of institutions but observational, not accusatory. Where institutional logic contradicts itself, the facts are stated; the irony is the fact.

How we source

News context is drawn from major wire services and regional outlets — Reuters, Bloomberg, the SCMP, RTHK, the FT, the Economist, and specialised feeds across each desk's beat. Editorial selection, ranking, and the desk filings are produced under the masthead's editorial process. Long-form columns are unique to The Wang Report; daily briefings are original analysis pegged to the day's news.

Refresh cadence

The main page refreshes through the day as news evolves. Section pages refresh on a regular cycle. Long-form columns publish on the cadence noted on each desk page.

Technology

The Wang Report is built on a custom static publishing platform. Editorial workflow, ranking, and prose drafting are AI-assisted under the masthead's editorial direction. Source aggregation runs on RSS and search feeds. The publication is independent and ad-supported.
