Wu Xue’er, spokesperson for the The Epoch Times Hong Kong, said that the edition went out according to plan. The new edition is meant to provide The Epoch Times’ unique coverage for those in and around China who can speak English.

The Epoch Times was founded in 2000 in the United States as a Chinese-language newspaper. A Korean edition was started in 2003, followed by the English edition in 2004, and later an additional 14 different language editions.
Hong Kong, formerly a British colony, features elements of both Eastern and Western traditions. Both English and Chinese are official languages for the region.
