Hong Kong

Hong Kong Baptist University’s move came as police actions have increased against those calling for an inquiry into the fatal high-rise fire.

LA-based diaspora group says the blaze that killed 159 people reflects deeper governance failures and a political climate that stifles open inquiry.

Miles Kwan’s petition gained momentum quickly, collecting more than 10,000 signatures before authorities shut it down.

Another 100 people are unaccounted for, and 79 were injured, according to the head of the Hong Kong police casualty unit.

The funds will go to aid, emergency response, and recovery efforts, after a residential complex fire killed at least 128 and left some 200 more missing.

Authorities on Friday arrested another eight people involved in the towers’ renovation.

Officials said the blaze is now under control. It’s unclear how many of the 279 missing people have been found.

Observers warn the threat to Taiwan and U.S. allies remains high even as strategic calculations and internal instability affect future Chinese military drills.

Hong Kong increasingly resembles just another mainland Chinese city, the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission says.

‘Ten Years’ is an anthology of five short films that each imagined the city’s future from a different angle under tightening control from Beijing.

Washington says its diplomats will continue engaging freely in support of U.S. interests.

Jimmy Lai, the pro-democracy owner of shuttered Hong Kong news outlet Apple Daily, has been held in solitary confinement for five years, according to his son.

The 77-year-old Lai faces possible life imprisonment.
