I Live in HK EP13 | Welcome to Irfan's caravanserai: Where the Silk Road still lives on—in Hong Kong Born in Turkey's ancient Silk Road region of Cappadocia, Irfan Karabulut grew up believing the Silk Road was more than history—it was part of his identity. Today, in Hong Kong, he has found a new way to keep that spirit alive, turning a centuries-old tradition of welcoming travellers into breakfast gatherings that bring strangers together. This is the story of how one man's lifelong journey along the Silk Road led him to call Hong Kong home.

Manus announces return to independent operations after China blocks Meta acquisition Manus, a Chinese artificial intelligence startup, announced on the evening of Aug. 11 that it will resume operations as an independent company and continue to serve users globally. The announcement comes after Chinese authorities blocked U.S. tech giant Meta's proposed acquisition of Manus, with both parties now in the process of unwinding the deal – and the restoration of independent operations marks the latest development in that process.

Opinion | China is becoming a scientific superpower, and the US are hell-bent on isolating themselves from it As reported in the Washington Post today, the Trump administration is advancing a rule which if implemented, will ban all U.S Federal funding for scientific research and collaboration with China. The article details that the American scientific community is scathingly opposed to such a rule, stating that the logic behind it is premised on an anachronistic "Cold War" worldview that misplaces American superiority in its own capabilities.

Global Lens | Apologies, committees, then silence: Japan's pattern of handling medical accidents The news from Kyoto University Hospital spread widely, but the focus here goes deeper: Japan's legal system often treats medical accidents as criminal liability and civil compensation. Yet criminal prosecutions are extremely rare. Most disputes go to mediation rather than court because hospitals control much of the evidence, and proving gross negligence is difficult.

Leaders gathered under the banner of Islamic brotherhood to sign what was presented as a historic mutual defense pact, one that boldly proclaimed an attack on one would be treated as an attack on all. Cameras flashed, handshakes were exchanged, and carefully worded statements emphasized collective deterrence and shared destiny.

Opinion | China's green resolve is its strongest shield when the oil routes close

Opinion | China's green resolve is its strongest shield when the oil routes close When the Strait of Hormuz turned turbulent earlier this year and the arteries of the global oil trade were constricted, economies dependent on imported crude were thrown into visible anxiety. China, by contrast, has faced what the International Energy Agency has described as the most severe supply disruption in history with striking composure. In my view, that composure is no accident of fortune. It is the logical outcome of more than two decades of determined electrification and energy transition.

Opinion | Knowledge is hard currency: Academic strength will underwrite HK's long-term prosperity The QS World University Rankings 2027, released on 18 June, 2026, brought a cascade of good news for Hong Kong's higher education sector. Five of the city's universities held firm in the global top 100. University rankings are not vanity trophies to be hung on a wall and admired; they are a concrete measure of a city's competitiveness, watched closely by students, parents, employers and investors the world over. Academic strength is the engine of the knowledge economy, and its contribution to Hong Kong's future manifests in at least four dimensions.

100 Ways To Live | A willful girl, a cultural beacon: Qingtian's mission to preserve Xunpu's floral heritage The women in Xunpu Village, Quanzhou, Fujian, have always loved to adorn their hair with the beauty of all four seasons, weaving blessings into the coiled strands of their tresses. This is the nearly thousand-year-old custom of the Xunpu women known as "Zanhuawei," a national-level intangible cultural heritage. And Qingtian—Huang Liyong, a local girl playfully called "a bit willful" by her fellow villagers—was the first to turn this beauty worn atop the head into a sustainable enterprise.

Journalist's View | There's no such thing as a 'Caotai Team' — It's just another way to encourage innovation On May 25, Chinese novelist Yu Hua posted a short video on social media titled "What Is a Caotai Team?"

Journalist's View | Five observations from the Hong Kong Sevens at 50 Marking its 50th anniversary, the Hong Kong Sevens once again proved it is far more than a rugby tournament.
