China Press (simplified Chinese: 中国报; traditional Chinese: 中國報; pinyin: Zhōngguó Bào) is a Malaysian Chinese-language newspaper set up by Henry Lee Hau Shik[3] and first published on 1 February 1946 in Kuala Lumpur.[4]

On 13 May 1969, China Press was suspended for a month following its publication of a court news item after the 13 May Incident.

It had a circulation of 210,053 in 2015,[5] which made it the second most popular Chinese daily newspaper at the time.[6] China Press was described in November 2022 as the most popular Chinese language news portal.[7]

Due to its popularity in Malaysia, China Press launched their evening version on 19 May 1990 with the mission statement of Today News Tonight Know.

In 1993, Nanyang Press took over the management of China Press.
