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 | The grand chess game behind a JoyYou card From the end of this year, elderly residents will be able to keep their JoyYou Card—Hong Kong's concessionary travel pass for seniors—in their mobile phones, and hop on a bus or train with a single tap. The arrangement is simple, the convenience immediate; it looks like nothing more than a small improvement to daily life. Yet there is more to it than meets the eye. It is one of the 25 livelihood measures in the Policy Address delivered by the Chief Executive on September 16 this year, and a telling footnote to the "livelihood-oriented" philosophy of Hong Kong's first-ever five-year plan.

Opinion | When policy is within reach, people-centered governance becomes real Whether a policy truly touches people's lives depends not only on the richness of its content, but also on whether citizens can find it, understand it, and use it. Recently, I came across an interactive online guide themed "Hong Kong's First Five-Year Plan × 2026 Policy Address". Users simply select their identity—"parent/expectant parent", "driver", "elderly", "employee", and so on—and the site instantly lists the applicable programmes and specific arrangements. The design is thoughtful and genuinely citizen-centric, and it deserves full recognition.

Opinion | Building a family-friendly HK: Child welfare at the heart of the five-year plan Hong Kong's demographic challenge is no longer a distant forecast; it is a pressing reality. With a total fertility rate hovering around 0.75 in recent years—among the world's lowest, according to the Census and Statistics Department—the question confronting policymakers is not whether to act, but how to do so with sufficient depth and persistence.

Opinion | From a single hub to a connected system: HK's new mandate in Asian innovation Rankings come and go, but some merit more than a passing headline. The white paper "Inside Asia's Fast-Track to Global Tech Scale," jointly released on 31 August 2026 by the HKSTP and CB Insights, is one of them. Hong Kong's innovation and technology ecosystem scored 370 on CB Insights' proprietary Mosaic index, ranking first in Asia and fifth globally, ahead of Taipei, Singapore and India. The index, which assesses business momentum, financing capacity, market potential and leadership strength, is widely used to identify high-potential ventures and future unicorns.

Opinion | HK retains crown as Asia's most international city: Policy, data, and widening lead In an era of intensifying regional competition and geopolitical realignment, Hong Kong has once again demonstrated that institutional depth, policy coherence, and market openness are not easily replicated. The Asian Cities Internationality Index 2026 (ACII 2026), commissioned by the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce (HKGCC) and independently conducted by Ipsos, ranks Hong Kong first among 11 Asian cities with an overall score of 74.6 out of 100, widening its lead over second-placed Singapore (72.6) from a razor-thin 0.2 points in 2025 to a decisive 2.0 points this year.

Opinion | Fifteen years aloft: The enduring code behind HK's air cargo supremacy In April 2026, Airports Council International confirmed what has become an annual ritual: HKIA was once again the world's busiest cargo airport, handling 5.07 million tonnes in 2025—the fifteenth time it has topped the global rankings since 2010. Fifteen years of sustained primacy, spanning a global financial aftershock, a pandemic that grounded aviation, and profound geopolitical realignment, cannot be attributed to luck.

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 | 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. The plan, widely condemned by allies and other American politicians, is a slap in the face to the massive sanctions imposed on Moscow by Washington following its invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

In the clip, Yu and three very different people shared their stories: a 16-year-old middle school student who taught himself documentary filmmaking; a food delivery rider who has been delivering for eight years while writing for 38 years and is now known as a "delivery poet"; and a young man from a small town who builds model airplanes by hand.
