- Media Chinese International Limited (0685.HK; 5090.KL) is a Bermuda-incorporated investment holding company and leading Chinese-language media group that publishes, prints, and distributes newspapers, magazines, books, and digital content primarily targeting Chinese communities; it also provides advertising services, travel and travel-related services including tour packages, printing services, management services, marketing and circulation services, e-learning platforms and materials, property investment and letting, digital multimedia, media operations, and artiste and events management. The group operates through four main segments—publishing and printing in Malaysia, Hong Kong and Taiwan, North America, and travel services—with key publications including daily newspapers such as Ming Pao (launched 1959, editions in Hong Kong, Toronto, Vancouver, New York, and San Francisco), Sin Chew Daily (launched 1929, largest Chinese-language newspaper in Southeast Asia by circulation), China Press, Nanyang Siang Pau, and Guang Ming Daily; over 30 magazine titles in categories like entertainment, lifestyle, technology, children, and automotive (including Life Magazines, the largest Chinese-language magazine publisher in Malaysia, and mainland China titles such as Popular Science and TopGear China edition); and digital platforms enhanced by AI tools for content production, personalized recommendations, and innovations like the "艾朵" AI digital avatar for Sin Chew Daily's Pocket Times. Founded in 1923 with roots tracing to mergers including Ming Pao Enterprise (formerly Ming Pao Enterprise Corporation Limited, renamed in April 2008), Sin Chew Media Corporation Berhad, and Nanyang Press Holdings Berhad, the company is dual-listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and Bursa Malaysia, maintains headquarters at 15th Floor, Block A, Ming Pao Industrial Centre, 18 Ka Yip Street, Chai Wan, Hong Kong, and conducts geographic operations across Southeast Asia (primarily Malaysia), Greater China (Hong Kong, Taiwan, mainland China), and North America; it holds a major stake in One Media Group Limited (HKEX: 426), a provider of Chinese-language lifestyle publications. Recent developments for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, include a 7.2% rise in group turnover to US$157.5 million driven by 38.3% growth in the travel segment to US$54.8 million amid post-pandemic demand for premium CEO-led luxury tours to mainland China and expansion into ASEAN and European cruises; rollout of a shared media platform for operational efficiency, integration of AI tools in editorial workflows for productivity and content discovery, and launch of video/audio content innovations; revenue diversification in the magazine division via influencer collaborations and expanded services; share repurchases totaling 57.6 million shares (US$1.1 million) on both exchanges with partial cancellations and treasury holdings; and an interim dividend declaration of US$0.10 cents per share payable July 2025, reflecting narrowed pre-tax loss to US$7.5 million from US$13.6 million prior year due to reduced impairments.
