Media Chinese International Limited is a Chinese language media platform targeting Chinese readers in major Chinese communities in southeast Asia. Its headquarters is located in Hong Kong. Tan Sri Datuk Tiong Hiew King is the chairman. It was formed by the merger of Ming Pao Enterprise (Hong Kong), Sin Chew Media Corporation (Malaysia) and Nanyang Press Holdings (Malaysia) in April 2008 and its history can be traced back to the Malaysian operation units of Sin Poh (Star News) Amalgamated which was founded by Aw Boon Haw in 1941. It is the first entity dually listed on the mainboards of the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong and the Bursa Malaysia. Media Chinese's product portfolio comprises 5 daily newspapers in 13 editions and 3 free newspapers with a total daily circulation of about 1 million copies, as well as about 30 magazines. The Group has also expanded its business into digital media. Media Chinese is the proprietor of Life Magazines, the largest Chinese language magazine publisher in Malaysia, and is the major shareholder of One Media Group Limited (SEHK: 426).

Its head office is in the Ming Pao Industrial Centre (traditional Chinese: 明報工業中心; simplified Chinese: 明报工业中心) in Chai Wan.
