Throughout the Ukrainian war, Vladimir Putin and Russia's leadership have repeatedly made threats that Western escalation is equivalent to a "direct war" on Moscow and thus merits a nuclear response. As the US approved long-range strikes on Russian territory several days ago, Putin subsequently responded by expanding the country's nuclear doctrine to define it as "aggression from any non-nuclear state – but with the participation of a nuclear country" as "a joint attack on Russia."

On Sunday evening US President Joe Biden ultimately decided to allow Ukraine to use American weaponry for long-range strikes into Russian territory. A deeply contested and controversial decision, the outgoing administration had held off on such a decision for a long time due to its implications in potentially escalating the war, which Russia had long described as a "red line."

Thanks to Trump, half the world is flat on the psychiatrist's couch with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Every decent human being with a pulse is plunged into despair. The world needs its head examined. America needs its head examined. How can the US put a "shidiot" twice in the White House? Trump has hit the jackpot.

The Labour and Welfare Bureau released the 2023 Manpower Projection yesterday, indicating that Hong Kong currently faces a labor shortage of 50,000 people, which is expected to increase to 180,000 by 2028. The report serves as a warning that the manpower shortage is becoming a pressing issue with far-reaching implications. The Hong Kong government needs to take a long-term approach, implementing multiple strategies to strategically introduce overseas talent and foreign workers while enhancing vocational training and strengthening technological applications.

With Trump's victory, the global situation will undoubtedly become even more uncertain, and it is expected that the US will continue its antagonistic stance toward China. However, China remains committed to an independent foreign policy of peace, maintaining its principles despite global instability, continuing its path of peaceful development, and upholding international fairness and justice.

On Tuesday the New York Times reported that Donald Trump was expected to appoint US Senator Marco Rubio as his Secretary of State. The reaction has been, explosive. Foreign policy hawks and China bashers are celebrating, while pro-China voices are licking their wounds in despair.

The re-election of Donald Trump as President of the United States has sent shockwaves throughout the world. A man who was once believed to be "finished" in the eyes of the mainstream media at the beginning of 2021 staged an epic political comeback and naturally will set us on the route of four more years of unpredictability and uncertainty, right?

With Trump's return to the presidency, his "America First" policy will significantly influence U.S. foreign policy. In particular, Hong Kong's development may face new challenges in the areas of trade, technology, and geopolitics.

On November 7th, Anders Persson, Chief Investment Officer of Nuveen, shared his insights on the current economic landscape following the recent election, emphasizing the intricate relationship between inflation and growth in both the U.S. and Europe during the Webinar.

The Kai Tak Sports Park held its first test event on Oct. 27, with 1,500 ticketed spectators attending the second-division football match between Sai Kung and Wong Tai Sin at the Kai Tak Youth Sports Ground. As this was the first public event and a test of crowd flow at the Kai Tak Sports Park, it received significant media attention. Overall, from departing the MTR station, entering the venue, watching the game, to exiting, everything was well-ordered. Kai Tak's "debut" was considered a success.

Republican candidate Trump is set to become the next President of the United States, which will have profound implications for both America and the world. However, a review of his domestic and foreign policy proposals reveals that, despite his slogan to make America "great again," he has actually intensified social divisions at home, isolated the US internationally, and accelerated the decline of America as a superpower, making the goal of "greatness" difficult to achieve.

Yes, it has happened. Trump has won. The buffoon is back in a big way, to no one's surprise. But many are plunged into clinical depression, not because Trump is a rapist, or a racist, or a pathological liar, or a serial tax cheat, or a wrecking ball, or an unprincipled bully or anti-science and pro-Hitler. But because he is "all of the above". That's why his second victory feels like the end-of-the-world: the lawless as leader, and rule-breakers as royalty.

In the 2024 US presidential election, economic issues have become a major weak point for the Democratic Party. Despite the fact that under Biden's administration—over four years—US GDP has grown by 12.2%, the stock market has repeatedly hit new highs, consumer spending remains strong, and unemployment rates are at historic lows, public dissatisfaction persists. Even inflation is actually a natural outcome of fiscal expansion to stimulate the economy. So, why do Americans still feel discontent?

Donald Trump has achieved his wish and returns to the White House with a "blemished" record, becoming a new "legend;" he is also the second president to return to the White House after a four-year break, the last being Grover Cleveland in 1885.

As of the time of writing, Donald Trump has effectively wrapped up his return to the White House. The former President prevailed in a number of key states and swept aside. By 6 am UK time the New York Times forecast had determined his probability of victory was over 95%. Already, centrist liberals throughout the world have entered a state of meltdown on social media, dooming amidst the dramatic consequences that are likely to follow his return.
