Chan Siu-bak founded China Daily in 1900 soon after his return to Hong Kong. The first office was located at 24 Stanley Street, the site of Luk Yu Tea House today. Later it made several relocations, all around the Central District and Sheung Wan. The China Daily office also published China Periodical, a ten-day periodical that acted as the mouthpiece for the revolutionaries for a decade. Once the China Daily office was established, the revolutionaries used it as a base to plot the Huizhou Uprising, the failure of which marred the Revive China Society. But China Daily continued to be the pillar of revolutionary propaganda. It was because of China Daily that the Society's beliefs were passed on to the Chinese communities over the world, including those in Philippine, Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, Australia, South Africa, Honolulu, America and Canada.

Other than taking charge of China Daily, Chan Siu-bak also pulled together the Revive China Society, the Three Cooperation Society and the Brothers and Elders Society into forming an alliance. The amalgamation, which aspired to a violent revolution, was called the Revive Han Association, with Mr. Sun being the president. In 1905 Chan Siu-bak was appointed as the president of the Hong Kong branch of Tongmenghui (Chinese Alliance), and had afterwards established a Taiwan branch to launch a series of border revolts in Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan. Chan stood down from politics after the success of the 1911 Revolution and bound himself to the shipping industry.
