Opinion | The Mecca Alliance: A grand spectacle of empty promises In the sacred confines of Islam's holiest city, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey staged an elaborate display of unity that captured global attention. Leaders gathered under the banner of Islamic brotherhood to sign what was presented as a historic mutual defense pact, one that boldly proclaimed an attack on one would be treated as an attack on all. Cameras flashed, handshakes were exchanged, and carefully worded statements emphasized collective deterrence and shared destiny.

Opinion | China's green resolve is its strongest shield when the oil routes close When the Strait of Hormuz turned turbulent earlier this year and the arteries of the global oil trade were constricted, economies dependent on imported crude were thrown into visible anxiety. China, by contrast, has faced what the International Energy Agency has described as the most severe supply disruption in history with striking composure. In my view, that composure is no accident of fortune. It is the logical outcome of more than two decades of determined electrification and energy transition.

Opinion | Knowledge is hard currency: Academic strength will underwrite HK's long-term prosperity The QS World University Rankings 2027, released on 18 June, 2026, brought a cascade of good news for Hong Kong's higher education sector. Five of the city's universities held firm in the global top 100. University rankings are not vanity trophies to be hung on a wall and admired; they are a concrete measure of a city's competitiveness, watched closely by students, parents, employers and investors the world over. Academic strength is the engine of the knowledge economy, and its contribution to Hong Kong's future manifests in at least four dimensions.

Opinion | Japan's 2026 defense white paper: Washington's proxy project in the Indo-Pacific On August 4, Japan's Ministry of Defense released its 2026 Defense White Paper. At nearly 600 pages, it is the longest edition ever published. Far from a routine security update, the document marks another deliberate step in Japan's transformation from a postwar pacifist state into a heavily armed forward base serving American containment strategy against China. What is presented as "defense" is in reality the systematic dismantling of remaining postwar restraints and the deeper integration of Japan into a U.S.-led military architecture aimed at containing China's rise.

Opinion | Why China is more willing to utilize countermeasures in its diplomacy than before China's willingness to take countermeasures against the US is largely a new phenomenon over the past year, one which it was not willing to do in previous years. In years past, Washington could impose all kinds of measures on Beijing, which would draw its protest, but never undertake any kind of clear strategic retaliation. This poses the question, why has China got tougher, more precise and confident in its dealings with the US? And to what extent does this keep Donald Trump in check?

Opinion | Stephen Roach demeans himself by smearing HK

Opinion | Stephen Roach demeans himself by smearing HK Stephen Roach is a well-known American economist who once lived in Hong Kong. In 2024, Roach told the Financial Times that "Hong Kong is over". This delighted not only the HKSAR's rivals but also China's antagonists. It was, however, manifestly incorrect, and in 2025 he backtracked, acknowledging it was premature to write Hong Kong off entirely.

Opinion | Understanding 'forced labour' claims are about supply chain dominance, not ethics

Opinion | Understanding 'forced labour' claims are about supply chain dominance, not ethics As reported last week, the United States added 47 Chinese firms to a blacklist accusing them of utilising "forced labour" and subsequently banning their goods from the United States. The move was the first such in Trump's new administration, enacting the legal authority of the "Uyghur Forced Labour Prevention Act" of 2021. This act bans all direct imports from China's Xinjiang Autonomous Region, with a "guilty as assumed" criteria that such goods are made with forced labour, unless they can verify that is not the case.
