Sing Tao's connection to the Toronto Star was through Andrew V. Go, former Star vice president for business ventures.[1] Go's father, Go Puan Seng, was the publisher of The Fookien Times, then the Philippines' largest Chinese-language newspaper which also published the Philippine edition of the Sing Tao,[2] and was a family friend of then Sing Tao Group's Sally Aw.[3]
The Toronto edition is formally called the Canada Eastern Edition (加東版 Pinyin: Jiā Dōng Bǎn).[citation needed] A Canada Western Edition (加西版 Pinyin: Jiā Xī Bǎn) in Vancouver, British Columbia and an Alberta Edition in Calgary, Alberta have also been published since 1988.[citation needed]
According to former editor-in-chief of the newspaper, Victor Ho, and Jonathan Manthorpe, author of Claws of the Panda, the newspaper's editorial stance is pro-Beijing.[4][5]
In 2009, the top editor of Toronto's Sing Tao Daily, Wilson Chan, was fired shortly after it was revealed that he drastically modified an original Toronto Star article on Tibet to remove criticisms of the Chinese government, before publishing the story in Sing Tao. The decision to remove Chan is said to have come from Torstar Corp, who owns a majority share in Sing Tao's Canadian edition.[6]
The original story, "Chinese Canadians Conflicted on Tibet",[7] which ran on April 13, 2008, was written by a reporter for the Toronto Star, an English-language newspaper also owned by Torstar Corporation. The relationship gives Sing Tao rights to translate and publish stories from the Star. Chan's edits to the Chinese language story, which were revealed by media outlets in 2009, included changing the headline to, "The West Attacks China With Tibet Issue, Inciting Chinese Patriotism Overseas". The edited version omitted all quotes critical of the Chinese regime's human rights abuses and added comments blaming the West for "suppressing China" with media reports of the crackdown in Tibet.
