Shanghai Xinbao (Chinese: 上海新报), also known as Shanghai Gazette[2] or Shanghai New Daily[3] or Shanghai Hsinpao[4] or Shanghai News,[5] was a commercial Chinese newspaper established in Shanghai in November 1861, [6] edited successively by Marquis L. Wood, John Fryer and Young John Allen,[7] which was based on the news reports translated from the North China Daily News.[8]

The newspaper, founded by R. Alexander Jamieson, [9] was the first Chinese language newspaper in Shanghai.[10] It covered mostly in commercial and shipping news, with a small circulation confined to the Chinese merchants of the port.[11]

From time to time, Shanghai Xinbao published limited but focused political news. The early focus was on the Taiping Rebellion, [12] which increased its sales figures dramatically.[13] On December 31, 1872, it ceased publication after a long-term competitive failure with the Shen Bao. [14]
