The Tai Hon Kong Bo [2] ( Chinese: 大漢公報; Jyutping: daai6 hon3 gung1 bou3; pinyin: Dàhàn gōngbào), also known as The Chinese Times, [3] or Da Han Gong Bao, [4] was a Chinese language daily newspaper in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It was established by the Chee Kung Tong [5] in 1906 [6] and ceased publication on 3 October 1992. [7]
However, a research claims that the newspaper Wa-Ying Yat-Po (1906–1909) is not the predecessor of Tai Hon Kong Bo, and that the year of Tai Hon Kong Bo's creation is not 1906 but 1910. [8]
On 3 October 1992, Tai Hon Kong Bo announced the suspension of its publication.
Tai Hon Kong Bo was the longest-running Chinese diaspora newspaper in Canada, [9] and it acted as the commanding authority for Cantonese-speakers throughout North America. [10]
