Opinion | The Growing Ethical Divide between the West and Asia on AI I log in to "X" (formerly Twitter), and I am greeted with an artificial intelligence (AI) generated video of a tiny-sized Indonesian prayer drumstick carving a hole into a giant Anthropomorphic sleeping pickle's crotch. The drumstick, now named "Tung Tung Sahur," subsequently converts the inside of the pickle into a giant sauna, before getting sucked out by that same pickle dancing with a vacuum attached to his groin.

Opinion | When policy is within reach, people-centered governance becomes real Whether a policy truly touches people's lives depends not only on the richness of its content, but also on whether citizens can find it, understand it, and use it. Recently, I came across an interactive online guide themed "Hong Kong's First Five-Year Plan × 2026 Policy Address". Users simply select their identity—"parent/expectant parent", "driver", "elderly", "employee", and so on—and the site instantly lists the applicable programmes and specific arrangements. The design is thoughtful and genuinely citizen-centric, and it deserves full recognition.

Opinion | Building a family-friendly HK: Child welfare at the heart of the five-year plan Hong Kong's demographic challenge is no longer a distant forecast; it is a pressing reality. With a total fertility rate hovering around 0.75 in recent years—among the world's lowest, according to the Census and Statistics Department—the question confronting policymakers is not whether to act, but how to do so with sufficient depth and persistence.
