US midterms: what happened while Asia slept, and when to ex…
Polls began closing across the United States on Tuesday evening in midterm elections that will decide whether US President Donald Trump’s Republicans keep control of Congress, after a day of voting disrupted by floods and machine glitches but largely free of the problems many had feared. The first polls closed at 6pm Eastern Time (7am Hong Kong time), with most states following over the next several hours. The last state to close polls will be Alaska, at 1am Eastern Time (2pm Hong Kong time)....

In Focus | Trash is treasured: why China’s high scrap price…
Shanghai scrap collector Li Jie has a problem, one which would appear unusual to most: trash is getting too valuable. “Ordinary recyclables like cardboard and plastic are now hard to come by,” he said. “Their prices have risen so much that there are so many collectors, including many companies.” The wave of new players has made it harder to find those materials, and others such as copper and aluminium. But even at small volumes, he said, the business remains profitable and he has no desire to...

課本白教了！外國人：台灣人從不說「不客氣」
有網友近日在Threads社群平台發文表示,突然發現台灣人很少講「不客氣」這三個字,別人說謝謝時,通常只會回應「不會」或「謝謝」,讓他感到相當好奇背後原因。 貼文曝光後隨即引發熱烈討論。多數網友認為,「不客氣」聽起來姿態較高,講出口會感覺自己做了什麼很了不起的事。有網友分析,「不客氣會讓對方的謝謝重量變大,台灣人不好意思讓對方有這種負擔」,也有人直言「不客氣有種高姿態的感覺」,因此習慣說「不會」來回應,顯得更加親切謙虛。 部分網友從語言源流角度解釋,台語本來就有「袂」的說法,轉換成台灣華語就是「不會」,與英文「No worries」的語氣相近。這種回應方式像是告訴對方只是舉手之勞,不必放在心上,能減輕對方的心理負擔,讓互動更加輕鬆自然。 話題也釣出住在台灣的美國人留言認證。他表示學中文時,課本教的是「不客氣」,來台灣生活後才發現大家都說「不會」。他進一步分享,英文其實也有類似情況,雖然課本常教「You're welcome」,但在美國日常對話中,大家更常使用「No problem」或「Sure」等口語說法。 另有網友補充,日文雖有「どういたしまして」的正式說法,但日常生活中也經常使用「いえいえ」或「大丈夫」回應他人。也有網友指出,在中國大陸普遍使用「不客氣」或「沒事」,與台灣用語習慣有所不同。不過也有人持不同看法,認為「不客氣」本身就是禮貌用語,不需賦予太多額外含義,只是每個人表達習慣不同而已。 (資料來源：威傳媒新聞-WinNews) 延伸閱讀: 2025年過年習俗一覽表，送神到初五開工習俗懶人包 創新永續國際農業技術 聚集臺南深化產業交流 開工倒數「收假症候群」好厭世！ 醫師曝簡單3招快速收心上軌道
First Northern Metropolis Marathon hit by complaints after…
Water shortages, gruelling course conditions and a lengthy post-race walk marred Hong Kong’s inaugural Northern Metropolis Marathon on Sunday, participants have said, prompting calls for organisers to overhaul arrangements if the event is to return. As the city seeks to establish itself as a premier hub for mega-events, experts warned the problems went beyond teething issues. They urged organisers to ensure they had the professional expertise required to host similar events in future. Organised...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is now solving maths puzzles that have long stumped humans, prompting mathematicians around the world, including in China, to ponder not only whether machines will replace them, but also what achievement and research in their field will mean in the future. In early October, OpenAI released manuscripts showing progress on 372 categories of mathematical problems, including many which have long defied solutions. This week, the American AI firm announced three further...

China’s ruling Communist Party has introduced sweeping rules to scrutinise officials’ crisis-tested experience and disciplinary records ahead of next year’s major leadership reshuffle. The rules were included in a resolution adopted at the 20th Central Committee’s fifth plenum last Thursday and published by state news agency Xinhua on Sunday. Analysts said that as provincial and ministerial reshuffles begin ahead of the 21st party congress, the fifth plenum sent a clear message: Beijing wants...

Hate paper straws? Asia’s new alternatives are another eco…
For Singaporean flight attendant Chloe Tan Zi Ling, 35, the problem with paper straws is their impracticality. “It softens before we can finish the drink, so we have to gulp it down without a straw,” she said, adding that reusable metal alternatives left an unpleasant taste in her mouth. Her frustration reflects a wider debate over Asia’s shift away from plastic straws, with a recently released South Korean study finding that conventional plastic straws performed better than paper and other...

Security chief vows his task force will root out bid-riggin…
Hong Kong’s security chief has expressed confidence that a new joint task force led by him will eradicate the decades-long problem of bid-rigging, while denying that the reforms came too late after the deadly Tai Po fire. Secretary for Security Chris Tang Ping-keung also said on Friday that law enforcement officers would attend meetings of owners’ corporations where the risk of bid-rigging was deemed high to gather frontline intelligence and intervene early. Authorities also hope to pass new...
Leading economist warns the US and China are in a ‘conflict…
A leading economist warned on Thursday that the United States and China are in a “conflicted co-dependency” that this year’s two bilateral summits failed to address. “I think there’s a good chance that we’re in a temporarily more stable place. But to say that has solved the deep-rooted problems between us, I think is a real stretch,” said Stephen Roach, a veteran China-watcher and the former chairman of Morgan Stanley Asia, at the China Institute of America. “You mentioned the two summits that...

A mobile network outage in France this week has raised questions about the reliability of Finnish telecoms giant Nokia’s products against the backdrop of continued European Union efforts to phase out Chinese suppliers Huawei Technologies and ZTE over security concerns. The problem first hit the network of France’s biggest telecoms provider Orange at 11.37am on Monday and lasted until 8.30pm, resulting in outages of up to nine hours for some customers, Orange France CEO Jerome Henique told French...

A raft of reforms to overhaul Hong Kong’s building maintenance sector has been hailed as a bold first step in tackling bid-rigging and other deep-rooted problems, but observers said its success would depend on the determination and persistence to implement them to restore public trust. They said the reforms signalled a departure from the government’s long-standing reliance on the self-discipline of industry professionals, but highlighted a notable absence of measures to tackle falsified...

While many parents still question whether to give their children access to artificial intelligence, Malaysian tech worker Pravin Ganesan has embraced it to solve a very practical problem: helping his eight-year-old daughter with homework he sometimes struggles to explain. Pravin, 42, taught her a few basic prompts and checked the answers closely, finding that generative AI is particularly good at breaking down difficult concepts into child-friendly terms. “It has helped her learn and understand...

Southeast Asia’s housing paradox: too many homes, too few b…
In parts of Southeast Asia, unsold homes are piling up as developers struggle to clear housing stock – yet young buyers hoping to land their first property still cannot find an affordable home. The paradox reflects a growing mismatch between the homes being built and what aspiring buyers can afford, according to analysts, who point to speculative investment, financing hurdles and poor locations as factors leaving properties empty even amid demand for affordable housing. In Vietnam, the problem...

China and Brazil are expected to sustain close economic ties following the re-election of Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva as president, though his push to strengthen domestic industry and production could complicate the outlook for Chinese companies operating in Latin America’s largest economy, analysts said. Lula defeated right-wing challenger Flavio Bolsonaro in Sunday’s run-off election, securing a fourth, non-consecutive term. Following his victory, Lula told reporters and allies at a hotel in Sao...

My Take | The West’s double standard on global unrest
In the early days of the student protests in France, mainstream Western media took the protesters’ claims about poor school facilities and declining resources at face value. Only when the violence spread across the country, and to some of its European neighbours, did people begin to ask whether deeper causes were at play. Leftists blame social problems, from the cost-of-living pressures linked to the war in Ukraine to rising unemployment, especially among the young. Right-wing critics blame...

Editorial | Hong Kong must urgently tackle its elderly isol…
Tragedies involving vulnerable elderly people continue to make headlines in Hong Kong. Sadly, in a rapidly ageing society where many live alone or with an elderly partner, this seems unlikely to change any time soon. There is an urgent need to close gaps in support services. The authorities have initiated several measures, including a plan to import trained domestic carers, but that is only a start on addressing a growing problem. About a week ago, a man, 72, and his 69-year-old partner died in...

Firefighters battled on Saturday to put out flames that tore through Adolf Hitler’s “Eagle’s Nest” mountain retreat while police detained a suspect who investigators said may have psychiatric problems. The alarm was raised late on Friday at the former guest house for top Nazi officials, 1,834 metres (6,000 feet) high in the Bavarian Alps. As snow fell on the Alpine peak, the Eagle’s Nest was still engulfed in flames at dawn on Saturday, and fire chief Michael Brandl told a press conference the...

Drinking water has been scarce for over a decade in Taiz, but the problem has reached crisis levels in recent weeks as Iran-backed Houthi rebels besiege Yemen’s third-largest city in their escalating conflict with government forces. The needs of Taiz’s more than 1 million residents are now barely being met, humanitarian groups say, as access to wells is limited, desalination plants run low on fuel and water delivery trucks are largely prevented from entering the city. Families are rationing...

From ageing fleets and drivers to the likes of Uber making inroads, taxi services around the world face an array of challenges. In Hong Kong, drivers complain about unfair competition and regulatory reform pressure. At the same time, they continue to be the target of complaints in relation to refusing rides, rude service, overcharging and taking circuitous routes. In response, the government has taken steps to regulate ride-hailing platforms and introduce premium taxi fleets to enhance service...

In author and computer engineer Liu Cixin’s science fiction hit The Three-Body Problem, three suns throw a doomed world into chaos. Chinese astronomers say they have found a real three-star system that is far better behaved. Using FAST, the world’s biggest single-dish radio telescope in southwestern China, the researchers found two dead stars and a “living” one locked in a steady cosmic dance about 7,000 light years from Earth. One of the dead stars is a pulsar that spins more than 300 times a...

Inspections into lift safety across Hong Kong have found no missing fire-resistant door frames among contractors other than Taizoom Elevator, authorities said on Thursday, after 338 buildings served by the firm were confirmed to lack the crucial components. The Electrical and Mechanical Services Department offered an update on the checks on Thursday after the government pledged to expand the inspection scope to cover lifts handled by other contractors as well to check whether the problem existed...
