The Xinwen Bao (simplified Chinese: 新闻报; traditional Chinese: 新聞報; pinyin: Xīnwén Bào; lit. 'The News') was a Chinese-language newspaper based in Shanghai that was published between 1893 and 1949. Aimed primarily at persons involved in business and commerce, it had a peak circulation of over 150,000 and was distributed throughout the Republic of China. The newspaper had a rivalry with the Shen Bao, another large Shanghai-based periodical.
