Asia Times Online was founded at the beginning of 1999 and is incorporated and duly registered in Hong Kong. It derives its revenues from advertising and the resale of original content to other publications and news services.
Historically, in publication policy and editorial outlook, Asia Times Online is the successor to Asia Times, a Hong Kong/Bangkok-based daily print newspaper founded in 1995, which ceased publication on June 26, 1997, a week before the devaluation of Thailand's baht kicked off the Asian financial crisis.
