The Kung Sheung Daily News was a Chinese language newspaper published in Hong Kong under British colonial rule. It was owned indirectly by Ho Shai-lai [zh] (Chinese: 何世禮), a former Republic of China general and son of Hong Kong tycoon Robert Ho Tung.[1] It was a pro-Kuomintang newspaper and ran according to the Minguo calendar.

In tandem with The Kung Sheung Evening News (Chinese: 工商晚報), it was published by "The Industrial and Commercial Daily Press Limited" (Chinese: 工商日報有限公司), which was incorporated on 10 November 1928.

In 1954, Kung Sheung co-founded - with three other major papers - the Newspaper Society of Hong Kong.

The Kung Sheung Daily News was also published as an "export imprint" (Chinese: 外埠版; lit. 'Outer Port version'), targeting Taiwan.[2]

The publisher was wound up on 26 December 1996, many years after the newspapers ceased publication.[3]
