Watch This | HK ranks world's freest economy: Lau Chi-pang says HK's leading position benefits from 'One Country, Two Systems'

Hong Kong continues to be rated as the world's freest economy in the Economic Freedom of the World 2026 Annual Report released by the Fraser Institute on Oct. 6.

Lau Chi-pang, member of the 14th CPPCC National Committee and the Legislative Council, states that it is not surprising at all. Since the mid-19th century, our city has relied on a free economy as a major pillar. As early as the 1980s, our national leaders had already proposed "One Country, Two Systems". The most important aspect of "One Country, Two Systems" is that after Hong Kong's return to the motherland, the city still retains a very free economic system, enabling Hong Kong to still occupy a leading position amid fierce global competition.

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.

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.
