Trio critically ill after 'suspicious' Mid-Levels fire

A fire at a flat in Mid-Levels on Saturday left three people in a critical condition, with the authorities describing the blaze as "suspicious". Firefighters were called to Regal Crest on Robinson Road shortly before 11am. They found an unconscious woman in a guest bedroom, and a man and a woman who had collapsed in the ensuite bathroom of the master bedroom. All three had inhaled smoke and two also had burns to their hands. “When firefighters entered the scene, they found that the entrance was blocked by a sofa, and it was relatively difficult for them to enter the flat. They later found that the doors of the corridor and master bedroom were locked from inside,” said assistant divisional officer Mo Shan-hoi. “Firefighters found two origins of fire in the master bedroom,” Mo added. Around 50 people fled to safety from the building during the fire. Police said they were also investigating the blaze, with government laboratory and forensic staff heading to the scene to look for evidence. Edited by Thomas McAlinden

China official mocked for wearing gold earrings while crying about local flood disaster

A Chinese official who cried about her village’s flood disaster has faced sarcastic comments for wearing a pair of gold earrings.

According to an official report on May 22, the disaster left six people dead, 10 missing and affected over 100,000 people. The party secretary...

TV coverage of Trump’s visit showed Americans how ordinary Chinese live

Nothing about the summit between Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump in Beijing suggested high drama. The language was restrained, the optics disciplined. The impression it left was simple: escalation of tensions for its own sake is a losing strategy. The announcement that China would buy 200 Boeing aircraft served mainly as a political gesture of goodwill, with the commercial details to be filled in later by negotiators. More important was the pattern across readouts from...

US farmers seek firmer soybean guarantees despite Xi-Trump agriculture pledge

Across the vast United States, soybean farmers caught in the crossfire of the US-China trade war hoped for a deal on the crop when US President Donald Trump met with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping. There was optimism after the two presidents met in Busan, South Korea, in October, when China committed to increased soybean purchases. This time, however, Trump left Beijing without any concrete agricultural announcements, much less one about US farmers’ biggest export. Instead, a general...

Airport T2 'off to smooth start'

The airport's Terminal 2 opened amid fanfare on Wednesday, with the Airport Authority saying things were going smoothly. The authority expects 4,200 travellers to use the terminal on its first day of operations. T2 allows travellers to check in, clear immigration and undergo security checks, before proceeding to Terminal One for departure. "Our passengers [were] very happy and we have some 'wow effects' in the terminal, I think they they were [like] 'wow'," the authority's chief executive, Vivian Cheung, told reporters. "We have a lot of LED, animation, and new designs emphasising technology, and we have our in-house design for self-check in system, which only requires 45 seconds to go through the entire process. "We want to help the airlines to migrate to a full-automation process, which will actually help passengers have better experiences and also reduce the labour needs." Cheung noted the first flight using T2 was operated by Hong Kong Airlines and left for Shanghai Pudong International Airport at around 8am. Six other carriers, including AirAsia, are set to begin using T2 from Thursday. By June 10th, the number of airlines is expected to go up to 15, with HK Express the last to relocate. T2 was closed in 2019 for reconfiguration as part of the three-runway project before its reopening. It's expected to handle around eight million passenger trips in its full year of operations before rising to some 30 million per year. Its dedicated departure concourse and boarding gates are scheduled to open at the end of next year. Edited by Edmond Fong

According to The History of the Southern Dynasties, Zhang lived in what is now Anhui province in...
