Shuttle quota system to be mulled over for East Dam

منذ 16 hours

—

Tourism chief Rosanna Law said officials will consider introducing a quota system for public transport to a recently popular hiking trail in Sai Kung, following reports of overcrowding during the Labour Day Golden Week holidays. She told lawmakers on Wednesday that in the past week, the number of visitors to East Dam at High Island Reservoir was just over 3,000 a day at its peak, compared to some 4,300 recorded in late March. The secretary for culture, sports and tourism said the government doesn't think the dam can withstand such a large number of visitors on a long-term basis, pointing out that the countryside's capacity must be considered as part of any eco-tourism developmental effort. "In the long run, we hope to divert the tourists visiting Hong Kong for hiking activities to different routes for a better visiting experience and to minimise the impact of visitors’ activities on individual hiking trails and countryside nature," Law said in response to a lawmaker's question in the Legislative Council. Lawmakers proposed imposing traffic controls on the area during weekends and public holidays, such as by banning taxis. Law replied restricting access to public areas is hard and complicated but that authorities could study the possibility of having a public transport quota, such as requiring users of shuttle services from Pak Tam Chung to book in advance. Law said that would be among things on the agenda in a review by officials. She also said an idea from the Liberal Party's Peter Shiu – that officials provide real-time information on how crowded particular tourism spots are – is a good one. Officials, she said, will study whether an electronic platform containing such data should be introduced.…

China rolls out a slew of measures to lift economy

منذ 16 hours

—

Beijing announced on Wednesday a whole basket of new measures, including interest rate cuts and extra funding, to prop up the economy as it steps up efforts to offset the impact from sky-high US tariffs. The measures came shortly after US and mainland officials said US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and chief trade negotiation Jamieson Greer will meet with China's top economic official He Lifeng in Switzerland this weekend for talks, paving the way for a potential de-escalation between the two sides. Speaking in a press briefing in Beijing, People's Bank of China governor Pan Gongsheng said the central bank will lower the borrowing cost of its seven-day reverse repurchase rate, its benchmark interest rate, by 10 basis points, to 1.4 percent, effective on Thursday. The central bank, he added, will also reduce the amount of cash that banks must hold in reserve, also known as the reserve requirement ratio (RRR), by 50 basis points from May 15, which will inject a trillion yuan in liquidity into the market. Other measures include lowering the mortgage rate by 25 basis points, scrapping the RRR for auto financing firms, a new 500 billion yuan relending tool to support service consumption and elderly care, as well as increased funds for factory upgrades and other innovative projects. "[For example,] relending funds for factory upgrades and other innovations currently involve a quota of 500 billion yuan," said Pan. "So we will increase this by 300 billion yuan to a total of 800 billion yuan, to support our 'two new' policies of upgrading large-scale equipment and trading-in of consumer goods." Separately, Li Yunze, director of the National Administration of Financial Regulation (NAFR), said authorities will soon introduce a package of financing policies to help stabilise the property market and support small and micro companies as well as private entities. Li said there will be "tailor-made services" for business entities that are significantly affected by tariffs and that these will ensure all foreign trade enterprises are able to access financial support and necessary loans with increased capital support. "Capital replenishment work for large commercial banks is being accelerated...," Li said in explaining about the increased funding work. "Different regions are also replenishing capital for small and medium-sized financial institutions through multiple channels." At the same event, China Securities and Regulatory Commission chairman Wu Qing said that despite pressure from US tariffs, markets have stabilised following intervention efforts by the authorities. Wu also noted that Beijing would continue to support state-owned investment company, Central Huijin, to further stabilise the A-share market, which he said is "currently undervalued" and has room for gains. He added the country planned to help facilitate the return of foreign-listed Chinese firms to mainland and Hong Kong stock markets. Separately, Wu singled out US investor Warren Buffett, who is set to retire this year, for mention for his fundamental principles of long-term value investing and rational investing, noting that such principles and efforts to reward investors will not end with the retirement of the investment legend.…

Cinema Day plot resonates in ticket queues

منذ 17 hours

—

Queues formed outside theatres in Hong Kong on Wednesday as tickets for the annual Cinema Day went on sale at HK$30 each for all screenings this Saturday. This year marks the third consecutive year the event is held, which aims to encourage people to patronise movie theatres. About 30 people queued outside a cinema in Admiralty before ticket counters opened at noon, with the first arriving about an hour before that. The cinema provided printed pamphlets listing all screenings on Saturday to those in the line. One of those queuing up, Philip, said it was the first time for him. He said he thinks the annual event can definitely get more people to patronise movie theatres. “Look at this queue. I think so," he said. "But people do watch TV and movies that are streamed. "There's a lot of competition for cinema-goers at present. "Cinemas have come up with a lot of fancy gadgets to attract viewers. "They've got vibrating seats, seats that move back and forth to try to attract people because you can’t do that at home." Another first-timer, Ida, thinks there are more TV promotions for this year’s event compared to the past. However, she said, the quality of the movie experience is what ultimately brings people to cinemas. “I can wait for some movies to go on streaming services," Ida said. "But for some movies I’m willing to pay more than a hundred dollars to catch them in a cinema. "The atmosphere of watching a movie in a cinema is different. "Some movies have got to be watched in a cinema. So it really depends on the movie quality.” Fifty-three cinemas are participating in the event, and the Hong Kong Theatres Association expects it to attract around 200,000 filmgoers, similar to previous years.…

ICAC moves with times at new exhibition hall

منذ 17 hours

—

Chief Executive John Lee said on Wednesday that the newly renovated ICAC exhibition hall can serve as a way to develop and inherit the citizenry’s anti-corruption mindset. Following a four-month renovation, the venue, first set up in 2007, is an improved showcase of Hong Kong’s anti-corruption journey through visual and interactive elements. Officiating at the relaunch ceremony, Lee says the city’s journey to being one of the cleanest jurisdictions in the world was not easy. “In the past, citizens had no choice but to live in a corrupt environment and could hardly receive any government services,” he said. "The establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption in 1974 had a tremendous impact on this rot. “The commission is a strong force for ensuring that Hong Kong remains a clean and highly efficient city. "The new exhibition hall features precious historical events through artificial intelligence and immersive technology, spreading the anti-corruption message to all visitors in a lively way,” he added. ICAC commissioner Woo Ying-ming said the new hall would serve as a unique cultural spot while educating the public on the importance of anti-corruption work. “We launched a cafe in November so the public can learn about the ICAC through a relaxed environment,” he said. "We have received over 60,000 visitors worldwide already." “For the new exhibition hall, we hope to strengthen visitors' experience and allow visitors to learn about the nation’s latest technology developments. "Along with the cafe, the exhibition can become Hong Kong’s unique cultural spot,” he added. Some of the exhibition’s facilities and exhibits include a robotic coffee maker offering the iconic ICAC coffee, exhibits of previously cracked cases and an AI chatbot providing information related to the commission. ICAC community relations director Diman Mak said the chatbot was developed through China's Deepseek system. “The system can provide instant anti-corruption information and advice to visitors, retrieve real-time data from ICAC’s archives, make analyses, and give accurate responses to visitors enquiries,” he said. Mak added that the ICAC system is separate from the open model, which ensures the accuracy of information and avoids external interference. The exhibition will be open from Thursday.…

Beijing calls for restraint from India and Pakistan

منذ 18 hours

China urges both India and Pakistan to remain calm, exercise restraint and refrain from taking actions that may further complicate the situation, the Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday. In reply to a media query concerning India's military strikes on targets in Pakistan early on Wednesday, which met strong response from Pakistan, a spokesman said India's military operation is regrettable and that China is concerned about the ongoing situation. India and Pakistan are and will always be each other's neighbors, and they are both China's neighbors, said the spokesman, noting that China opposes all forms of terrorism. "We urge both sides to act in the larger interest of peace and stability, remain calm, exercise restraint and refrain from taking actions that may further complicate the situation," he said.

HK has a lot to offer Qatar, Kuwait: TDC

منذ 19 hours

—

Hong Kong businesses see growing opportunities in Qatar and Kuwait as both countries push to diversify their economies away from oil, the Trade Development Council (TDC) said. Chief Executive John Lee is leading a delegation of local and mainland enterprises to Qatar and Kuwait this week to boost business and trade ties with the Middle East. The TDC's director of research, Irina Fan, said bilateral trade between the SAR and the two Gulf nations reached US$1.8 billion last year, up 40 percent since 2018. As both Qatar and Kuwait look to develop non-oil sectors such as manufacturing, logistics and tourism, Fan said Hong Kong can offer expertise in such areas as technology and professional services. "In terms of IT services, they acknowledge that Hong Kong's providers are really good at making software, [adapting] the technology to get commercialised to cater for business needs," she told RTHK. "I see a very good match between the needs of Kuwait and Qatar and what we can offer from Hong Kong." On the impact of trade tensions sparked by tariffs announced by US President Donald Trump, Fan noted the SAR has become more resilient through market diversification. "We have engaged with various parts of the world, including the Middle East, [which] really helps us offset the negative impact of the drop in exports to the US market," she said. But she also noted that smaller enterprises face challenges entering new markets in the Middle East due to limited international experience. She cited a TDC survey showing that 77 percent of mainland companies looking to expand internationally would like to get support from Hong Kong.…

Make vote-counting fully electronic, lawmaker urges

منذ 19 hours

—

A lawmaker has expressed hope that the counting of votes in the city's elections will become a fully electronic process amid a likelihood that ballots for trade-based seats in the legislature's upcoming election may no longer be tallied by hand. That possibility emerged last week with legislators passing a bill to let election officials use machines when counting ballots for functional constituency seats in December's Legislative Council poll. Electronic counting has already been adopted for the Election Committee constituency. DAB lawmaker Brave Chan told RTHK on Wednesday that hand-counting could take up to 24 hours in the past and that the use of technology in tallying votes is a trusted method. "Electronic vote counting will not affect the fairness, impartiality and openness of elections," he said. "We ultimately hope electronic vote counting can not only be used in functional constituencies but also for seats filled by direct elections. "Because most of the ballots come from direct elections, so the votes should all be counted electronically." On the proposed inclusion of Lok Ma Chau Loop in geographical constituency for the upcoming polls, Chan hailed the administration for planning ahead. He said elected lawmakers would be ready to serve residents there when people eventually move into the area. The authorities earlier unveiled plans to make the area, which is projected to be unpopulated until the middle of this year, part of the New Territories North constituency in December's general election.…

Deadly violence as India and Pakistan exchange fire

منذ 22 hours

—

India fired missiles into Pakistan-controlled territory in several locations early on Wednesday, killing at least eight people including a child, Pakistani authorities said. India said it was striking infrastructure used by militants. The Pakistan Air Force (PAF) said it shot down five Indian jets in response. The Indian army later said three civilians were killed in shelling by Pakistani troops in Indian-controlled Kashmir. It said in a statement the Pakistani army “resorted to arbitrary firing,” including gunfire and artillery shelling, across the Line of Control, the de facto border that divides disputed Kashmir between the two countries, and their international border. The Indian army was “responding in a proportionate manner,” it said. Tensions have soared between the nuclear-armed neighbours since last month's massacre of tourists in Indian-Kashmir. India has blamed Pakistan for backing the militant attack, which Islamabad has denied. Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif condemned Wednesday's air strikes and said the “deceitful enemy has carried out cowardly attacks" and that his country would retaliate. “Pakistan has every right to give a robust response to this act of war imposed by India, and a strong response is indeed being given,” Sharif said. Sharif has convened a meeting of the National Security Committee for Wednesday morning. The missiles struck locations in Pakistani-Kashmir and in the country's eastern Punjab province. One hit a mosque in the city of Bahawalpur in Punjab, where a child was killed. Pakistan’s military spokesperson said India launched attacks at six different locations, resulting in the deaths of eight people and injuries to 38. Other locations hit were near Muridke in Punjab and Kotli in Pakistan-controlled Kashmir. India’s Defense Ministry said at least nine sites were targeted “where terrorist attacks against India have been planned.” “Our actions have been focused, measured and non-escalatory in nature. No Pakistan military facilities have been targeted,” the statement said, adding that “India has demonstrated considerable restraint in selection of targets and method of execution.” Stephane Dujarric, the United Nations spokesperson, said in a statement late on Tuesday that Secretary-General Antonio Guterres was “very concerned about the Indian military operations across the Line of Control and international border” and called for maximum military restraint from both countries. “The world cannot afford a military confrontation between India and Pakistan,” the statement read.

Law review pledge in wake of clinic closures

منذ يومين

—

The government has vowed to examine laws governing private healthcare facilities in the wake of the suspected abrupt closure of Alliance Medical Group last week. The case prompted the government to set up a task force. On Tuesday, Chief Executive John Lee warned that people linked to the suspected shutdown of the clinics would be held accountable. He also said the Commerce and Economic Development Bureau will review existing laws and submit a report as soon as possible. Alliance Medical Group offered services such as prepaid inoculation packages and body checks. "The government will examine whether the existing regulations are adequate, particularly for prepaid consumption, and consider various proposals including the introduction of a statutory cooling-off period, limiting the maximum contract period and addressing industry operational conditions," Lee said. He said customs and police officers will probe the incident, while the Consumer Council will exercise its authority to safeguard the rights of customers. The authorities are offering "feasible assistance" to affected individuals by allowing children who are eligible to get their remaining vaccinations at government health centres, Lee added.…

Govt gauging interests to 'take care' of visitors: CE

منذ يومين

—

Tourism officials will study the travel patterns and interests of incoming visitors while working out what mainland travellers like following the Labour Day Golden Week holiday, according to the city's leader. Ahead of Tuesday's Executive Council meeting, Chief Executive John Lee also said the SAR should welcome all types of tourists and cater to their needs. The city welcomed 1.1 million tourists in the first five days of the month, up around 22 percent from the same period last year. Friday saw the most mainland arrivals – 267,000. The chief executive said officials will study the use of technology for crowd control and learn what tourists are interested in nowadays. "We should really gather information about the new travel patterns of visitors, particularly those from the mainland, because they represent a big chunk of tourists, to know about their new travel patterns, new needs and new routes, so that we can take good care of them," Lee said. "After knowing all these new demands, we can plan new routes, new supporting facilities to allow them to enjoy Hong Kong more." During the five-day holiday, some mainland tourists reportedly spent the night camping or at fast-food restaurants instead of hotels. "There will be high-end travellers, and there will also be non-high-end travellers," Lee said. "But we must look at tourism as a whole, so that every tourist will find their experience in Hong Kong an enjoyable one. "We have to work together to ensure that Hong Kong is a city that welcomes all tourists."…

John Lee to visit Qatar and Kuwait on Saturday

Chief Executive John Lee will lead a delegation to Qatar and Kuwait on Saturday to explore business opportunities. This is his second trip to the Middle East since taking office, following his 2023 visit to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Speaking before the weekly Executive Council meeting on Tuesday, Lee said the 50-strong delegation comprises local officials and enterprises from Hong Kong and the mainland. "During the visit, I will meet with leaders of the two countries, and we will strengthen communications and liaison with the governments concerned," he said. Lee said he will lead the delegation to inspect facilities to understand the latest developments in finance, trade and technology. The trip aims to showcase the city's advantages under One Country, Two Systems as a super-connector and to show the synergy between mainland and Hong Kong enterprises, he added. Qatar, he noted, has the highest GDP per capita among Gulf countries, while Kuwait has one of the world's largest sovereign wealth funds. "The Middle East is developing rapidly. It has an abundant supply of funds and it's keen on diversifying its risks," Lee said. "So this is part of the global trend in terms of gravitating towards the East." The government is planning to set up an Economic and Trade Office in Saudi Arabia, in addition to the existing one in Dubai, Lee added.…

Retailers mostly see growth over Golden Week

منذ يومين

—

The Retail Management Association said on Tuesday most businesses have had a better Labour Day Golden Week compared to a year ago. The growth in retail sales came as more than 910,000 mainland visitors headed to the SAR during the five-day holiday that concluded on Monday. Speaking on an RTHK radio programme, chairwoman Annie Yau Tse pointed out that business was slightly better than a normal weekend. "If we look at local consumption, as mentioned before, there were fewer people making outbound trips compared to the Easter break," she said. "And of the five-day Golden Week, four of them were public holidays, while there were only three last year. "So given that there were more public holidays and fewer people leaving Hong Kong, these helped business. "Also the weather was better compared to last year." A low base effect from last year, Yau Tse pointed out, also contributed to the growth. However, she said, the business environment remains difficult, as sales edged down after the first two days of the Golden Week. Sales of furniture, leisure clothing, eyewear and electronics increased despite these retail segments usually seeing a dip when they showed up in monthly figures, while declines were recorded for shops selling personal care products and food. Even though mainland tourists usually travel on low budgets, she said, that does not mean that they would not go in for high-priced products as they look for items with high-cost effectiveness. Yau Tse believes if the multi-entry permits that was restored for Shenzhen residents last year could be expanded to cover more provinces, it would boost the flow of visitors to the SAR.…

SAR a nexus for mainland firms to the world: InvestHK

منذ يومين

—

Hong Kong has what it takes to help mainland firms expand into international markets, according to InvestHK – the government department responsible for attracting foreign investment. Last month, Chief Executive John Lee led a delegation to Zhejiang province, where he attended an investment promotion conference in Ningbo. It's part of a broader push by the SAR administration to open up new investment opportunities. In an exclusive interview with RTHK, InvestHK's director-general, Alpha Lau, said Zhejiang is not only the traditional cradle for supply chain and trading companies, it is also known for being a thriving IT hub that has produced six rapidly emerging tech companies. "We call it the Six Little Dragons. So it's a very, very rich location of companies which might have global aspirations... and where we hope to increase our collaboration between the two locations so that they could use Hong Kong as a stepping stone or springboard into their international expansion," she said. "InvestHK signed MOUs with 12 companies… those are the ones willing to go on stage. Obviously there are many other deals that we are discussing." Lau said that just days after the trip, she has already received a delegation from Ningbo and work is underway to help the firm set up shop in Hong Kong. The InvestHK chief explained that the SAR has a lot to offer these companies, especially in areas like research and development. "Hong Kong has an abundance of international talent in this area and five of the top 100 universities in the world who have got a lot of research capabilities,” she said. Apart from the mainland, Lau pointed out that the government is also tapping into investment opportunities in places like India and the Middle East. "What I have seen as a trend is that the region as a whole, they are very strong in resources-related companies and also some development like hotels, more traditional type companies. But they're very forward looking in terms of planning for the future." Another region that InvestHK will focus its efforts on is Eastern Europe, including Hungary and Turkey. “What we’re hoping to do there is to raise awareness. Eastern Europe countries know China well, but they don’t know Hong Kong as a hub well,” she said.…

MTR urged to boost internet connectivity and manpower

منذ 3 أيام

—

Hong Kong's rail operator should have contingency plans and measures to deal with crowds at turnstiles as well as network issues that delay QR-code payments, lawmaker Gary Zhang said on Monday. Over the weekend, the MTR said relatively more people used their phones to pay with QR codes at the same time at Lok Ma Chau on Friday, and that the mobile data network and station Wi-Fi facilities could not handle the surge in demand. It pointed out that at one point, commuters were allowed to leave paid areas without having to tap out. Speaking on an RTHK programme, Zhang said connection problems were not only limited to the station, but also affected Lok Ma Chau Bridge. "No mobile signals were received even on the bridge, so people had to change to the station's Wi-Fi. When everyone used the station's internet, it exceeded the daily capacity of the router, leading to a system freeze," he said. To prevent such incidents from occurring, Zhang said that relevant staff should be put on standby. "The stability of the telecommunications network is linked to the stations' server and engine rooms. I think the MTR should follow up with internet service providers and see if they can arrange maintenance staff to stand by at the scene during festivals or holidays, so any problems can be resolved quickly," he said. Zhang added that the MTR should beef up manpower at stations as well, as more people are opting to use QR codes to travel.…

'Private healthcare facilities law isn't clear enough'

منذ 3 أيام

—

The medical sector lawmaker on Monday said the current legislation on private healthcare facilities is not clear enough. David Lam made the comment after the Tsim Sha Tsui and Sha Tin branches of private clinic network Alliance Medical Group – which specialises in body checks and inoculations – were suspected to have abruptly shut down last Friday. As of 5pm on Sunday, police and Customs received 1,356 complaints about the group. The Consumer Council said it received 600 complaints, and that the highest amount involved in a single case exceeded HK$23,000. Speaking on an RTHK radio programme, Lam pointed out that there is a loophole in the Private Healthcare Facilities Ordinance. "If a person opens a centre and a few doctors are there a few days each week, then it's regulated under the law. But if the centre offers only vaccination services, with nurses or trained personnel to offer the jabs, then it's not regulated by the law," he said. "Of course, you can argue whether or not vaccination is a medical act and whether it should be done by doctors or registered nurses, but in Hong Kong, there's no clear definition on this." Lam, who also chairs Legco's Panel on Health Services, called on parents who are affected by the suspected closures to bring their children to government Maternal and Child Health Centres or private doctors instead. Another lawmaker Chan Hoi-yan revealed on the same show that a private hospital has yet to receive any payments since the start of the year for running tests – worth hundreds of thousands of dollars – at Alliance Medical Group clinics. The medical firm had submitted patient samples to the hospital as of the end of last month, she said, adding those who conducted body checks there should contact their doctors as soon as possible. The government has set up an interdepartmental team to look into the matter.…
