[4] Chung Sai Yat Po was one of the longest running and most popular Chinese-language daily newspapers in the United States.

Ng regarded Chung Sai Yat Po as a paper of integrity and acceptance in an era of yellow journalism, rife with racism.

[5] Ng's Christian faith and understanding of North American identity helped to shape the values of the paper and its non-partisan stance.

It played a “leading role in shaping the thinking of the Chinese community” in San Francisco, as there were few accessible sources of Chinese-language news.

Chung Sai Yat Po reported on the harmful effects of foot binding by publishing articles written by doctors, satiric literature, and poetry.

Although Chung Sai Yat Po identified China as the guiltiest country in the world concerning the oppression of women, it also criticized the Chinese American community's practice of free marriage and divorce.

[15] These news reports on the increasing accessibility of schools for girls and women in China encouraged a similar development in the United States.

[17] The paper's promotion of Christian values and non-partisan political stance created a rivalry between it and Sai Gai Yat Po (世界日報), also known as Chinese World Daily (1909 – 1969).

Sai Gai Yat Po was another major Chinese-language newspaper in the United States, which followed Confucianism and supported revolutionary forces in China.

San Francisco's newspapers were temporarily moved to Oakland, where Chung Sai Yat Po published its first post-earthquake, hand-copied issue on April 26.

Chung Sai Yat Po reminded Chinese immigrants of their entitlement to American constitutional rights, asked them to quietly negotiate rent with their landlords, and advised them on matters concerning insurance.

Mayor Eugene Schmitz created a committee in charge of the relocation of the Chinese and appointed Abraham Ruef and James Phelan.

[27] It encouraged assimilation into American culture through abandoning “outdated and undesirable [Chinese] customs” such as worshipping wooden idols, gambling, smoking opium, sporting queues, and binding women's feet.

[29] Because of his meeting with Sun, after the Wuchang Uprising on October 10, 1911, Ng and Chung Sai Yat Po began to shift from a pro-reform stance to supporting the republican revolution.

[31] Chung Sai Yat Po also supported laissez-faire capitalism in China, trade with the United States, and a modern educational system.

[33] However, when Yuan attempted to restore a monarchical system and declared himself Emperor of China, Chung Sai Yat Po repealed its support.

[35] Until 1915, the offices and printing shop of Chung Sai Yat Po were located in San Francisco's Chinatown at 809 Sacramento Street, a building that would later house the headquarters of Chinese Nationalist Daily/Chinese Daily Post (Kuo Min Yat Po) and of AsianWeek, and in 2015 became the WWII Pacific War Memorial Hall museum.
