US directs immigration agents to find, deport unaccompanied migrant children
特朗普政府指示移民机构追踪数十万 बिना父母陪同进入美国的移民儿童，扩大总统的大规模驱逐行动。根据路透社获得的一份内部备忘录，此次行动针对的是非法越境且没有成年人陪伴的移民儿童，规模空前。
这份移民和海关执法局（ICE）的备忘录列出了实施的四个阶段，从1月27日的计划阶段开始，但没有提供执法行动的开始日期。自2019年以来，已有超过60万的移民儿童在没有父母或法定监护人的情况下越过美墨边境。与此同时，数万人被勒令驱逐出境，其中包括超过31000名因缺席法庭听证会的人员。

Are Hongkongers allowed to clip nails on buses? Viral video sparks warning
香港公交公司呼吁乘客不要在车上剪指甲。此前，一段乘客在公交车上剪指甲的视频在网上引发争议。汽车运输业总工会九龙巴士分会主任赖思聪表示，不合作的乘客可能会被赶下车。
赖思聪补充说，即使公司没有明确禁止，乘客也应避免在车上化妆或进行类似行为。他认为这些个人行为应该在家中完成，乘车时应系好安全带，遵守安全指示，避免任何可能造成伤害或影响其他乘客的非常规行为。最近在社交媒体上流传的一段视频显示，一名男乘客在被要求停止在公交车上剪指甲后，出言不逊，再次引发了人们对公共交通工具上不文明行为的关注。

Trump’s shake-up of US top brass will not change focus on China rivalry: observers
Donald Trump 解雇多名高级军官，包括参谋长联席会议主席 Charles Brown，这一人事变动不太可能改变美国政府的对华战略重点，但可能导致在对该地区有经验的领导人减少。特朗普提名退役空军中将 Dan Caine 接替 Brown，但需要参议院批准。
中国人民大学国际关系学院教授刁大明表示，在任期未满的情况下更换参谋长联席会议主席非常不寻常，值得北京密切关注。Brown 的四年任期原定于 2027 年 9 月结束。此外，选择三星将军 Caine 担任这一职务也非同寻常，因为此前的惯例是由四星将军担任。

Chef arrested after Hong Kong police find HK$13 million in cannabis buds
一名厨师在香港被捕，他涉嫌与一起价值1300万港元（167万美元）的大麻花案件有关。该名34岁的男子将于周一出庭受审。警方周日表示，这名嫌疑人在一栋工业大厦的公寓外被毒品调查科的警员截获。

China’s security ministry warns of safety risks from low-altitude aircraft
China's top intelligence agency, the Ministry of State Security, has issued a warning regarding potential national security risks associated with the rapidly expanding "low-altitude economy." The ministry highlighted concerns about the large amounts of sensitive data generated during aircraft production and flight, emphasizing the need for careful management to prevent tampering, corruption, and security breaches.
The ministry's statement also pointed out the challenges posed by drones, noting their small size, low cost, non-metallic construction, and high-resolution cameras, which make them difficult to track. This raises the possibility of unauthorized surveillance of sensitive areas. The "low-altitude economy" encompasses activities in airspace below 1,000 meters, including the use of drones and electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft for various purposes like air taxis and delivery services.

How Hong Kong can seize opportunities along Silk Road Economic Belt
Hong Kong aims to solidify its role as a key platform for the Belt and Road Initiative, enhancing connectivity with both mainland China and the rest of the world. The city plans to expand international connections and strengthen economic cooperation, particularly with markets along the Silk Road Economic Belt, to unlock new avenues for economic growth.
Historically, regions like Central Asia were geographically distant, limiting trade. However, in 2023, nine of Hong Kong's top 50 export markets were along the Silk Road Economic Belt. From 2013 to 2023, exports to these nine markets surged by 52 per cent, reaching HK$86.7 billion. Hong Kong can leverage its position as a culinary capital and wine trading hub to promote products like wine and jewellery from these regions internationally, capitalizing on untapped business opportunities, especially after the recent reduction in liquor duty.

America’s loss, China’s gain: top Chinese universities welcome PhD refugees from the US
中国顶尖大学正在积极招募海外中国本科生，直接攻读博士学位，这反映出在美国收紧研究生资助和地缘政治紧张局势加剧的背景下，中国旨在吸引年轻学者。复旦大学自2022年起已悄然向海外中国本科生提供直接攻读博士学位的机会，其针对2025学年的最新招生计划引发了热议。
该计划绕过了中国通常要求的硕士学位或国内大学推荐信，面向世界排名前100的大学或精英课程的学生，涵盖计算机科学、生物医学工程和临床医学等前沿学科以及部分人文学科。复旦大学一位王姓教员表示，此举在中国“并不常见”，因为通常需要硕士学位或国内大学的推荐才能进入博士项目，但他对此表示强烈支持，认为这是大学在履行社会责任。

Russia launches ‘record’ 267 drones on Ukraine, says Ukrainian military
Ukraine reported a record number of 267 Russian drone attacks overnight, the highest since the invasion began in February 2022. Ukrainian air defenses intercepted 138 of the drones, while 119 were reported as "lost" without causing damage. However, some regions, including Kyiv, were hit, though the fate of the remaining 10 drones was not specified.
The intensified drone attacks follow a Russian missile strike on Saturday in Kryvyi Rig, which resulted in one death and five injuries. In response to the ongoing Russian strikes, Ukraine has been targeting Russian logistics and military sites within Russia itself, aiming to disrupt their operations far from the front lines.

2 Cambodian toddlers die after buried grenade explodes
两名柬埔寨幼儿在一枚疑似埋藏于内战时期的火箭弹爆炸中丧生。 这起事故发生在柬埔寨西北部暹粒省的一个偏远村庄，该地区在20世纪80年代和90年代曾是政府军和红色高棉武装的战场。
据柬埔寨地雷行动中心主任Heng Ratana表示，两名遇难者是年仅两岁的表兄妹。调查报告显示，孩子们当时在地上玩耍，挖掘土壤，可能用物体撞击了榴弹，从而引发了爆炸。其中一名儿童当场死亡，另一名在医院不治身亡。Heng Ratana补充说，尽管战争已经结束超过25年，但由于地雷和战争遗留物，柬埔寨人民仍在流血。

Hezbollah holds funeral of ex-leader Nasrallah months after Israel assassination
数万名哀悼者参加了真主党领导人哈桑·纳斯鲁拉及其继任者哈希姆·萨菲丁的葬礼，他们于五个月前在以色列对黎巴嫩的袭击中丧生。 这次葬礼是对真主党力量的一次展示，此前以色列在贝鲁特暗杀了这两位领导人，这对伊朗最有影响力的武装组织造成了毁灭性打击，也标志着真主党与以色列之间冲突的关键时刻。
纳斯鲁拉和其他真主党领导人在地下近20米的地堡中会面时，以色列的战机对该地点投下了约80枚炸弹，摧毁了总部和附近几座建筑物，造成约30人死亡。 在他们去世几天后，以色列升级了在黎巴嫩的军事行动，对这个北部邻国进行了地面入侵。

China slams Australia for ‘hyping up’ PLA live-fire drills off its coast
中国国防部指责澳大利亚“蓄意炒作”中国在澳大利亚海岸附近的实弹演习，并对澳大利亚声称中方未充分通知表示“深感惊讶和强烈不满”。此前，澳大利亚国防部长表示，中国未能就解放军在澳大利亚附近国际水域举行的实弹演习给出令人满意的理由，称通知时间太短。
澳大利亚国防部长称，短暂的通知时间导致正在空中的飞机需要改变航线，这对商业航空造成了困扰。中国国防部发言人则回应称，澳方的说法与事实完全不符，中国海军舰队的训练区域远离澳大利亚海岸线，完全位于公海。

Hong Kong’s URA chief rebuffs criticism over quick closure of public play area
香港市区重建局负责人回应了公众对其拆除一个开放不到一年的休闲设施的批评，称该免费空间本就是一个短期项目。部分设施将会被捐赠给其他公共屋邨。该休闲空间位于观塘，包含儿童游乐场和一个三人篮球场，于2023年12月开放，但在11个月后的2024年11月关闭。
市建局董事总经理韦志成回应称，关闭符合计划安排，并且80%的休闲和体育设施已捐赠给元朗和屯门的两个公共屋邨。韦志成在一篇博客文章中解释说，当市建局将观塘市中心发展项目的最后一期改造成“自由空间”时，就已经声明这些设施仅供临时使用，目的是在该地块重新招标之前向公众开放，而不是让其空置。

India scrambles to secure its place in US-China AI race, post-DeepSeek
India, a global IT outsourcing hub, faces an urgent need to pivot towards artificial intelligence to maintain its competitive edge. With the rise of cost-effective, open-source AI models from companies like China's DeepSeek and a projected slowdown in the software services market, India risks falling behind the United States and China if it doesn't adapt its technological ecosystem.
The International Monetary Fund warns that AI could impact nearly 40% of jobs worldwide, while the AI market is projected to grow at an astounding 37.3% annually. Recognizing this, the Indian government launched the US$1.25 billion "IndiaAI Mission" to support start-ups and infrastructure development, with plans to establish AI education centers and develop a foundational AI model tailored to India's unique needs.

Why China may face ‘scrutiny’ over using police diplomacy to help developing world
China is increasing its police diplomacy efforts, including repatriating citizens from online scam centers and providing tactical training to foreign police forces. On Thursday, 200 Chinese nationals were rescued from online scam centers in Myanmar and repatriated to China, with more expected to return in the coming days. Simultaneously, Chinese liaison officers concluded police tactical training for local officers in the Solomon Islands earlier this month.
These actions reflect China's growing role as a security partner in developing countries and its efforts to protect its overseas interests as a major global economy and investor. The repatriation operation followed visits to Thailand and Myanmar by a Chinese public security official to coordinate on cyber fraud operations. In the Solomon Islands, the police training covered topics such as DNA evidence identification and telecoms fraud investigation, aiming to improve the operational capabilities of local officers. This comes as Australia has also pledged significant support to the Solomon Islands' police force, seemingly to reduce its reliance on external partners.

目前，香港的私家车司机在没有出租汽车许可证的情况下接受付费乘客是违法的。包括 Uber、Tada、Amap 和 Didi Chuxing 在内的许多网约车平台都在不受监管的情况下运营。张仁良鼓励公众继续与他分享他们的意见，包括公众、互联网用户或网约车平台的意见，而不仅仅是出租车行业的意见。

Funding the Northern Metropolis will be a big test for Paul Chan
Hong Kong's Financial Secretary Paul Chan faces a significant challenge in financing and developing the Northern Metropolis, a large-scale economic and housing hub in the New Territories. This project is considered crucial for Hong Kong's future growth, requiring substantial investment and careful planning.
The Northern Metropolis project, encompassing 30,000 hectares, is expected to cost hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars, with initial phases focusing on site formation and basic infrastructure. Chan plans to issue bonds to finance the development, reasoning that the long-term benefits justify distributing the costs across generations. The key question remains how to repay these loans, given the initial investment in infrastructure.
