Hong Kong is not just a common law jurisdiction in China under the special governance model of “one country, two systems”. As an international legal services centre, and recently a dispute resolution hub, the city is well positioned to become a superconnector bridging East and West through its trusted common law system, independent judiciary and legal talent. This unique strength was highlighted during Hong Kong Legal Week, an annual government event that brings together local and overseas legal...

Editorial | A Democratic Congress won’t reset Beijing’s US…
The last time an American president lost both houses of the United States Congress in a midterm election was 20 years ago, under George W. Bush. Few were bold enough to predict the scale of the surge in support this time for Democratic Party candidates, particularly in the Senate, where they now hold a comfortable majority over the Republicans. The result immediately raised the question of what it means for China-US relations, just two weeks before President Donald Trump is expected to attend...

A recent controversy was sparked by a post on October 28 showing two town council workers...
