Hong Kong will hold the Legislative Council General Election on Dec. 19. Over 4.4 million registered voters will select 90 lawmakers to serve for the next four years.

However, in the last term of the LegCo, there were a lot of interruptions due to filibustering and even disruptions conducted by some opposition lawmakers. How was the problem addressed? Watch the video now to see how Professor Albert Chen, Senior Consultant of the Hong Kong Legal Exchange Foundation and member of the National People's Congress HK Basic Law Committee, explains this issue.

Opinion | 'Building Bridges'- How North Korea went from isolated pariah to strategic counterweight Since 2014, a "new" bridge has stood on the Yalu River between Dandong in China and Sinuiju in North Korea. This massive white spired bridge, built by Chinese engineering, was intended to deepen economic integration between the two Communist neighbours, having previously relied on the very small, Japanese Imperial-derived railway bridge known as the "Sino-Korean Friendship Bridge." The new bridge was thus to be revolutionary, yet for reasons entirely related to the North Korean side, it didn't open.

Opinion | Behind the double 'World's No. 1': How world-class hospitality is forging a new chapter for HK tourism Bar Leone in Central, Hong Kong, was crowned the world's best bar for the second consecutive year. Barely three weeks earlier, Rosewood Hong Kong likewise retained its No. 1 ranking, becoming the only hotel to successfully defend the title since the list was founded. Bars and hotels are two mirrors of the hospitality industry. That both "world's best" titles have fallen to Hong Kong in the same year is no coincidence—it is an objective affirmation by international professional juries of the city's service standards and business environment.

Based in Shanghai and a familiar face at major cultural heritage events across China, Barsi shared his insights: while artificial intelligence breaks language barriers and facilitates cultural contextualisation, emotional bonds forged between civilisations cannot be created by technology. Cross-cultural dialogue, at its core, hinges on face-to-face human interaction.
