Asia Times

Asia Times (Chinese: 亞洲時報) is a Hong Kong-based English language news media publishing group, covering politics, economics, business and culture from an Asian perspective.[1] The website is a direct descendant of the Bangkok-based print newspaper that was launched in 1995 and closed in mid-1997.[2]

Asia Times Online was created early in 1999 as a successor in "publication policy and editorial outlook" to the print newspaper Asia Times, owned by Sondhi Limthongkul, a Thai media mogul and leader of the People's Alliance for Democracy, who later sold his business.

The site was relaunched with a new logo and design in October 2016 with Uwe Parpart as editor.[3] Other executives include Cecil Ho, former Chief Financial Officer of ReOrient Group Limited.

The site was relaunched in February 2019 with a refreshed web design, multiple languages and a domain name change to www.asiatimes.com.

The new publishing company is Asia Times Holdings Limited,[4] incorporated and duly registered in Hong Kong with offices in Bangkok and New Delhi. Many reporters from the Asia Times print edition continued their careers as journalists, and a group of those contributors created Asia Times Online as a successor to Asia Times.[5] The word "Online" is no longer part of the website news portal. Patrick Dunne is Managing Editor. Asia Times publishes in English, Arabic, traditional and simplified Chinese, Filipino, Indonesian, Korean and Vietnamese.

Readership

Asia Times (www.asiatimes.com) averages 100,000 readers every day. In 2006, The New York Times described Asia Times Online as "one of the most prominent of the [English-language] regional publications" covering Asia. [6]

gollark: That is not what I'm talking about and I'm not aware of that happening.
gollark: That's currently all I have to say about Android opensourceness. I might come up with more later.
gollark: Banking apps use this for """security""", mostly, as well as a bunch of other ones because they can.
gollark: Google has a thing called "SafetyNet" which allows apps to refuse to run on unlocked devices. You might think "well, surely you could just patch apps to not check, or make a fake SafetyNet always say yes". And this does work in some cases, but SafetyNet also uploads lots of data about your device to Google servers and has *them* run some proprietary ineffable checks on it and give a cryptographically signed attestation saying "yes, this is an Approved™ device" or "no, it is not", which the app's backend can check regardless of what your device does.
gollark: The situation is also slightly worse than *that*. Now, there is an open source Play Services reimplementation called microG. You can install this if you're running a custom system image, and it pretends to be (via signature spoofing, a feature which the LineageOS team refuse to add because of entirely false "security" concerns, but which is widely available in some custom ROMs anyway) Google Play Services. Cool and good™, yes? But no, not really. Because if your bootloader is unlocked, a bunch of apps won't work for *other* stupid reasons!
