The anti-corruption campaign has been President Xi Jinping’s signature policy since he rose to power in the autumn of 2012. Xi has linked fighting corruption to the Communist Party’s ability to stay in power and, more than a decade on, the campaign continues apace.
The South China Morning Post took a deep dive into the cases of the top officials, known as “tigers”, brought down between 2013 and 2025 to see what those investigations could tell us about the crusade. Most of these officials were at least vice-ministers and all were investigated by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) – China’s top anti-corruption watchdog.

China’s ambitious Chang’e 7 mission to explore the Moon’s south pole and search for water ice has been postponed from its expected launch window. The robotic mission is designed to investigate one of the most scientifically valuable regions on the lunar surface, including areas near Shackleton Crater. With no confirmed new launch date, speculation is growing over when China will resume its latest lunar exploration push. The mission also highlights the intensifying global race to understand and eventually use frozen water believed to exist inside permanently shadowed lunar craters. What could Chang’e 7 discover beneath the Moon’s unexplored south pole?

China’s military has gone from decades behind the US to a force that now rivals America across multiple domains. And as China’s military power grows, too many people in the West still aren’t taking the threat seriously.

US President Donald Trump’s administration has said it aims to sever “every” economic lifeline sustaining Iran in what officials have warned will be the toughest sanctions campaign ever seen.

Malaysians have launched a humorous appeal to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani to help fix their potholes, sparking a meme fest praising his responsiveness and highlighting local government inaction.

Adapting to climate change will be increasingly challenging as the weather worsens each year, Asia’s top climate scientist said in a wide-ranging interview with the South China Morning Post. Professor Ben Horton from Hong Kong’s City University also warned of “humanitarian disasters” as the world’s climate becomes more unstable and unpredictable. But despite Horton’s grim outlook, he remains hopeful that things can be turned around if action is taken promptly.

The revamped Terminal 2 (T2) at Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) officially opened to travellers in May. Join architect and frequent traveller Jacqueline Chak, who once worked at Foster + Partners – the architecture firm behind the original design of Terminal 1 – as she walks through the new T2 facility with two officials from the Airport Authority Hong Kong: Tommy Leung King-yin, executive director of engineering and technical services, and Steven Yiu Siu-chung, executive director of airport operations.
Together, they explore T2’s structural features such as its feather-shaped roof and floating “tree columns” in addition to facial recognition technology now used at every security gate and the AI-powered self bag-drop machines that can process checked baggage in just 45 seconds.
Nearly 30 years after the construction of HKIA changed the way the world saw airports, T2 is set to continue that momentum and take the evolution of the city’s aviation hub into its next chapter.
