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.

Deepline | The root of American selfishness: Institutional failures behind domestic chaos and hegemonic diplomacy The selfish and high‑handed behaviour of the United States in areas of livelihood, immigration and foreign policy is rooted in deep‑seated institutional flaws. Politically, the separation of powers has degenerated into a tool for partisan warfare, rendering governance ineffective. Economically, financial capitalism has exacerbated wealth inequality, leaving society deeply fractured. Diplomatically, fuelled by money politics and populism, unilateralism and hegemonism have intensified, continually undermining the global order.

He mentioned two things. First, during the period when Hatoyama was in power, Japan was in the midst of a broad downturn in its economy—many things he wanted to do could not be carried out. Second, today's Japanese economy seems to have returned to a similar situation again, and right-wing forces are taking advantage of the moment.

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.

International spectators mingled freely, cheering for the game itself rather than national divides, highlighting HK's role as a global connector.
