Typhoon Narra has caused widespread flooding across southern China’s Guangxi region after days of non-stop downpours. Buildings, including a tourist centre, stand partially submerged. Forecasters warn that the heavy rain will continue to pound the region through Wednesday, with Guangxi, Guangdong, Hainan and Fujian provinces all bracing for another round of torrential downpours.

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.

China has unexpectedly delayed the launch of its Chang’e-7 lunar mission, a key part of Beijing’s plan to put astronauts on the Moon before 2030. The spacecraft was expected to begin its journey to the Moon’s south pole in search of water ice, but officials now say the mission does not meet launch conditions. The postponement comes less than two weeks after a Long March rocket suffered a rare failure, raising fresh questions about China’s lunar timeline and its growing space ambitions.

China is dodging US tariffs through a massive transshipment network—and some of America’s closest allies may be helping. A new White House report estimates the scheme could be costing the US billions in lost tariff revenue, jobs, and economic output. Now the Trump administration wants to use AI to track suspicious shipments around the world. How does the scheme work, and can the US actually stop it?

China’s GDP figures are treated as objective economic reality, but past state press releases lies a system trapped by Goodhart’s Law. For decades, local bureaucrats have been promoted based on hitting arbitrary growth targets, structurally incentivizing them to pad the numbers. To meet these quotas, local officials use raw coercion: threatening business owners, seizing corporate data tokens, and forcing companies to input fabricated revenue goals into central portals. Sophisticated grey-market schemes like circular "invoicing economies" and territorial double-counting create trillions of RMB in paper turnover with zero physical output. Even late Premier Li Keqiang admitted regional data was "man-made," relying instead on electricity and rail metrics. While Beijing centralized data collection in 2019 to stop local embarrassment, it maintains the macroeconomic illusion to preserve public confidence. Independent research suggests China’s historical GDP is inflated by 11% to 35%, leaving a global superpower making massive capital decisions based on a statistical mirage.

On the night of August 10, at 8:02 p.m., China launched the Zhongxing-4B satellite from Wenchang, Hainan, aboard a Long March 7A rocket. Just 85 seconds into the flight, a bright flash suddenly lit up the night sky. The rocket broke apart, with debris falling while trailing smoke. That same night, Xinhua reported that the rocket had experienced a flight failure, and investigators were working to determine the cause.

China is getting weird—and the weirdness may be telling us something important. A fugitive becomes a folk hero, a terrible animated movie turns into a surprise box-office hit, and a simple bamboo toy becomes a nationwide joke aimed at Huawei. These three bizarre stories reveal a deeper mood spreading across China: frustration, distrust, dark humor, and new ways of pushing back when people feel they have little power. Behind the jokes and absurdity is a growing sense that many Chinese are becoming more skeptical of official narratives—and more willing to express their discontent in indirect, creative ways.

China has deployed its J-16 fighter jets to Egypt for the Eagles of Civilization 2026 joint military exercise, marking a significant development in Beijing’s growing defence cooperation with Cairo.
A fleet of Chinese People’s Liberation Army Air Force aircraft, led by heavy twin-seat J-16 multirole fighter jets, arrived at an Egyptian air base to participate in the second edition of the Eagles of Civilization exercise.
The Chinese fighters reportedly travelled around 6,000 kilometres across two continents and four countries in nearly nine hours. The deployment required midair refuelling, highlighting the operational range and logistical capabilities involved in the mission.
The joint drills are focused on offensive and defensive air combat tactics, air superiority operations, combat search and rescue, electronic warfare and joint battle management.
The J-16 deployment is particularly significant because it represents the first reported deployment of China’s heavyweight fighter aircraft to the African continent. Military analysts say the mission provides an important test of pilot endurance, aircraft performance and China’s ability to project military power over long distances.
China previously deployed lighter J-10C fighter jets during the inaugural Eagles of Civilization exercise. The arrival of the heavier J-16s signals a potential expansion in the scale and sophistication of China-Egypt military cooperation.
The exercise also carries wider geopolitical significance. Egypt has been seeking to diversify its defence partnerships and reduce reliance on traditional suppliers by evaluating advanced military technologies from China.
The growing military relationship between Beijing and Cairo is being closely watched by Washington, as deeper Chinese defence cooperation could challenge established US influence in the region.

Xi Jinping’s upcoming U.S. visit and expected meeting with President Trump are already drawing attention—but his unusually brief itinerary is raising an even bigger question: is Xi preparing to leave power? In this program, we examine the signs behind that possibility, including his decision to skip the UN, renewed talk of “voluntary” succession, the shifting Taiwan timeline, turmoil inside the PLA, and speculation over Li Qiang as a possible successor. None of these developments proves Xi is stepping down, but together they form a pattern that is becoming harder to ignore.

On one side, core macroeconomic indicators—including persistent deflationary pressures, sluggish domestic consumption, and mounting local government debt—continue to flash warning signs across traditional industrial and property sectors. On the other side, Beijing’s aggressive push into high-tech self-reliance has triggered an unprecedented surge of capital into artificial intelligence, humanoid robotics, and advanced automation. While state directives aim to establish global technological dominance, market realities reveal growing risks of overcapacity, speculative valuation bubbles, and severe resource misallocation. Tony analyses whether these state-backed technological investments can realistically offset broader macroeconomic stagnation, or if the rush into frontier tech is masking deeper structural vulnerabilities. We explore the ripple effects for international investors, domestic employment, and global supply chain realignments as China navigates this high-stakes industrial transition.

Taiwan has announced that its US tariff rate has been reduced from 20 percent to 15 percent, matching Japan, South Korea and the EU, as part of a sweeping trade and investment framework with Washington.
