Peel the Onion | Top Gun: Maverick is a great movie, but it's also recruitment porn for the US military, obviously (II) Director Joseph Kosinski dials in just the right amount of nostalgia with the same music, settings, and performance songs, beaming us all back to the hazy VHS days of the late 80s and early 90s when Top Gun was still a force to be reckoned with on Sunday afternoons.

Peel the Onion | Top Gun: Maverick is a great movie, but it's also recruitment porn for the US military, obviously (I) Tom Cruise again stars as the toothy "what the hell" rule-bending "Maverick" 36 years after the original 1986 Top Gun movie. Great if you like Top Gun and Tom Cruise because Top Gun: Maverick is full-on Top Gun Tom Cruise.

Peel the Onion | Kendrick Lamar: Mr Morale & the Big Steppers review - vital, spiritual rap Perhaps it's safe to say that music lovers overestimate how much an average person cares about music. Nowadays, albums are long-form artistic statements consumed like films — play once, thumbs up or down.

Peel the Onion | Book review of 'The dance of folly: or how theatrics have tarnished the rule of law' This book by the distinguished Hong Kong jurist, Henry Litton, provides a penetrating analysis of a series of high profile cases. Throughout the book, Litton highlights repeated failures to stop the initiation of improperly based judicial review applications - many of which are publicly funded by legal aid. Some may disagree with the central case made. But where they do, most will still find themselves thinking deeply about what is argued in this highly readable work.

Opinion | HK retains its crown as world's freest economy: Open-market strengths endure and 'one country, two systems' dividend persists The Fraser Institute of Canada released its Economic Freedom of the World 2026 Annual Report on 6 October 2026. Hong Kong has once again been named the world's freest economy among 165 economies, with an overall score of 8.53. Since the Report was first published in 1996, Hong Kong has consistently ranked first—clear evidence that, whatever changes the external environment may bring, the core competitiveness of Hong Kong as a free economy continues to stand the test of time and of international assessment.

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.

Opinion | Here's what Trump's Russian diesel ploy is all about US President Donald Trump has provoked outrage by announcing a plan to import diesel from the Russian Federation.
