Baidu adopts DeepSeek AI models, chasing Tencent in race to embrace the hot start-up
Baidu is integrating DeepSeek's AI models into its search engine, following Tencent's move to incorporate the technology into Weixin. This integration aims to provide users with a more diverse search experience by combining DeepSeek's capabilities with Baidu's own Ernie large language models (LLMs). Baidu will also add DeepSeek to its LLM platform for developers.
This move comes shortly after Tencent began beta testing DeepSeek's AI models on Weixin, potentially exposing the technology to the platform's 1.3 billion active users in mainland China. DeepSeek has rapidly gained prominence as a leading AI startup in China, with its advanced models, V3 and R1, making waves in the global tech community due to their performance and cost-effectiveness, even causing a drop in AI-related stock prices last month. However, Baidu's share price experienced a significant decline of around 8% in Hong Kong trading, ahead of its fourth-quarter earnings report.

Hong Kong watchdog slams McCafe, 7-Eleven over wasteful bring-own-cup services
香港消费者委员会指出，部分连锁饮品店在顾客使用自带杯时，仍先用一次性容器制作饮品，此举严重削弱了环保减废的意义。 调查点名麦当劳旗下的 McCafe 和 7-Eleven 的 7CAFE 为主要违规者，这种做法让顾客自带杯的努力付诸东流。
消委会于去年 11 月至 12 月进行了这项调查，涵盖 20 个连锁品牌，共计 60 次抽查。调查发现，所有被抽查的 McCafe 分店员工，无论顾客是否明确表示要使用自带杯，都会先用一次性纸杯制作饮品。McCafe 回应称，自带杯服务仅在设有专用取餐柜台的餐厅提供，且顾客需要主动提出要求。

Will Yoon’s anti-China rhetoric threaten Seoul-Beijing ties ahead of Xi’s possible Apec visit?
South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol's recent controversial remarks about China during his impeachment trial are raising concerns about potential damage to the relationship between Seoul and Beijing, especially with Chinese President Xi Jinping considering a visit to South Korea for the APEC summit in October. Yoon has alleged that China interfered in South Korea's elections, influencing his decision to briefly declare martial law last year.
These claims appear to be fueled by and further inflaming anti-China sentiment among some of Yoon's supporters. Recent events, such as the arrest of a man attempting to storm the Chinese embassy in Seoul while delivering an "anti-China message," and ongoing protests outside the embassy calling for "Xi Jinping out," highlight the growing tensions. The Chinese embassy has expressed concern and regret over these incidents to the Korean government.

Is major trouble brewing for Hong Kong’s housing market? Not so fast
S&P Global Ratings has warned of potential risks in Hong Kong's property market, citing concerns such as a "credit squeeze" and "negative feedback loop," reminiscent of the language used during China Evergrande's collapse. The agency suggests that a faltering recovery in the housing market, coupled with high US interest rates and supply-demand imbalances, could strain developers, particularly those with limited liquidity.
The financial difficulties of New World Development (NWD), a major Hong Kong developer, have heightened these concerns, with the company seeking loan postponements and pledging substantial assets for refinancing. While NWD's situation may be unique, S&P highlights that other unrated developers also face liquidity challenges. Rising distress is also evident in Hong Kong's commercial real estate sector, with a significant portion of recent investment transactions involving assets sold under receivership or at a loss, and commercial property prices experiencing a sharp decline compared to other major cities.

8 years after Irish tourist’s rape-murder, Indian man gets life in prison
Vikat Bhagat, 31, has been sentenced to life in prison by a court in Goa, India, for the 2017 rape and murder of Danielle McLaughlin, a 28-year-old Irish woman. McLaughlin's body was discovered on a popular tourist beach in Goa, and the autopsy revealed that her death was caused by cerebral damage and constriction of the neck.
Bhagat was convicted of the crime on Friday, and McLaughlin's family expressed their gratitude to the public prosecutor and investigating officer for their work in achieving justice. The case brought attention to the ongoing issue of violence against women in India, despite stricter laws implemented following a 2012 gang rape case in New Delhi. Goa is a well-known tourist destination, attracting millions of visitors to its beaches annually.

Australia to deport violent criminals to remote Pacific atoll
澳大利亚即将把包括一名已被定罪的谋杀犯在内的三名暴力罪犯驱逐到瑙鲁，即使他们不是这个太平洋小岛国的公民。此前，澳大利亚法院裁定，危险移民不得再被无限期监禁。内政部长Tony Burke表示，已于周六向这三名“暴力罪犯”发放了30年期的瑙鲁签证。
反对党领袖Peter Dutton表示，尽管与瑙鲁达成了协议，仍将有超过200名有犯罪记录且无法被驱逐的移民留在澳大利亚。瑙鲁总统David Adeang原计划就“与澳大利亚就重新安置非公民的新安排”向当地新闻媒体发表声明，但截至周一下午，该声明尚未在网上公布。

US rescinds mass firings of nuclear weapons workers amid security concerns
特朗普政府叫停了数百名联邦雇员的解雇，这些雇员负责国家核武器项目。此前，这些雇员突然被解雇，引发了混乱，专家警告说，DOGE团队盲目削减成本会使社区面临风险。
据美联社报道，此次解雇是能源部DOGE团队裁员约2000人的一部分。受影响最严重的部门之一是位于德克萨斯州阿马里洛附近的 Pantex 工厂，该工厂负责弹头重组，这是一项高度敏感的工作。专家表示，DOGE团队对这些部门的职责缺乏了解，未能意识到其主要职能是核武器而非能源。

Makers testing dehumidifiers in overly favourable conditions: Hong Kong watchdog
香港消费者委员会呼吁除湿机制造商停止宣传在过于有利的条件下进行的测试结果，因为发现在正常的家庭环境中，这些设备的效率较低。该委员会对市面上14款除湿机进行了测试，发现制造商偏好的测试条件（30摄氏度，相对湿度80%）下，除湿机的除湿能力比标准环境（26.7摄氏度，相对湿度60%）下高出高达82%。
此次测试是消费者委员会每月报告的一部分，主要评估设备的“每日除湿能力”，即设备在24小时内从空气中去除的最大水分量。测试结果表明，制造商通常会选择更有利于产品表现的测试环境，从而夸大除湿机的实际性能。

From Thailand’s ‘Ghost Tower’ to Pyongyang’s ‘Hotel of Doom’: Asia’s abandoned skyscrapers
Across Asia, numerous skyscrapers stand empty or unfinished, testaments to financial downturns and changing urban landscapes. These towering structures, once symbols of progress, now present challenges for cities deciding whether to revitalize, demolish, or leave them to decay.
Experts suggest that many of these buildings still hold potential, requiring creative solutions to repurpose them. Examples include Thailand's "Ghost Tower," a 47-floor structure abandoned during the 1997 Asian financial crisis, highlighting how economic shifts can halt ambitious construction projects.

Hong Kong to keep ‘one country, two systems’ model indefinitely, minister says
香港律政司司长林定国向投资者保证，香港将继续实行“一国两制”原则，并无限期保持其普通法制度。他还表示，香港将在北京的支持下，于9月主办第15届中国-东盟总检察长会议，以寻求与东盟司法管辖区进一步的法律合作。
林定国在吉隆坡举行的《南华早报》中国会议：东南亚2025的炉边谈话中提到，根据香港《基本法》，香港的资本主义制度和生活方式预计保持50年不变，因此人们自然会问，香港目前的制度在2047年后是否会继续。他引用了中国国家主席习近平2022年在香港的讲话，习近平当时表示“没有理由改变这么好的制度”，并且“必须长期坚持”。

China could play ‘substantial’ peace role in Ukraine as US seeks a quick deal
A former PLA colonel suggests China could send peacekeeping troops to Ukraine after a negotiated ceasefire, provided they collaborate with non-NATO countries like India. Zhou Bo, a senior fellow at Tsinghua University, believes China has the resources to contribute to a post-war international effort.
Zhou Bo highlighted that Russia might perceive peacekeeping operations alongside European countries as another form of NATO presence. The suggestion comes as the Ukraine war enters a new phase, with China's potential role in peace negotiations and post-conflict scenarios becoming a key focus at the Munich Security Conference. While the US pushes for a swift resolution and engages with Russia in Saudi Arabia, experts anticipate China's eventual involvement in the peace process.

DeepSeek-led AI to raise China’s economic growth but threaten jobs: Goldman Sachs
高盛预测，人工智能将在未来几年内温和提振中国经济。这主要得益于中国本土企业DeepSeek等公司推出的生成式AI工具。高盛认为，AI将通过自动化任务、节省劳动力成本和提高生产力来刺激经济增长，但同时也指出，AI对中国产业的整体影响可能有限，并可能对就业市场造成冲击。
高盛的报告指出，中国AI技术的快速发展和应用，特别是DeepSeek等公司在降低成本和计算能力需求方面的突破，为中国更快地采用AI铺平了道路。预计到2030年，AI将使中国经济增速提高0.2至0.3个百分点，高于之前的预期。然而，报告也强调，AI对中国就业市场的影响需要密切关注。

Japan firm offers hangover sick leave, time off for news about favourite celebrities
Faced with a shrinking workforce, a Japanese company is offering unusual leave options like "hangover leave" and "idol leave" to attract young applicants. This novel approach aims to stand out in a competitive job market where traditional incentives may not be enough to entice the younger generation.
Japan's labor shortage is becoming increasingly acute, with unemployment rates remaining below 3% and over 60% of small and medium-sized businesses reporting difficulty finding workers. While some larger companies are raising starting salaries—from an average of 237,300 yen (US$1,500) to as much as 300,000 or 400,000 yen—this company is betting that unique benefits will give them an edge in recruiting talent.

75% of nappy creams tested by Hong Kong consumer watchdog can irritate skin
香港消费者委员会的最新报告显示，在抽查的16款婴儿护臀霜中，四分之三的产品含有可能刺激婴儿敏感肌肤或加重尿布疹的成分。这些成分包括香精、精油、萜烯、防腐剂和丙二醇等，存在潜在的过敏和刺激风险。
报告指出，婴儿的皮肤较薄，体表面积与体重之比较高，因此更容易受到有害成分的影响。其中，德国品牌Weleda的Calendula护臀霜被检测出含有最多的香精和香精过敏原。此外，保加利亚产的Sudocrem Antiseptic Healing Cream和德国产的Baby Sebamed’s Diaper Rash Cream也分别含有两种令人担忧的成分，包括香精、丙二醇和苯氧乙醇。法国和波兰的研究均表明，苯氧乙醇和丙二醇可能对婴儿的皮肤产生刺激，建议婴幼儿产品避免使用这些成分。

Beijing steps up financial ‘master plan’ with major asset reshuffle
中国财政部将其在多家金融公司的股份转让给一家政府控制的基金，此举旨在全面改革金融 sector。资产重组将允许中国投资有限责任公司（中国主权财富基金的子公司）旗下的中央汇金投资有限责任公司获得五家公司的控股权，其中包括三家国家资产管理公司。
分析人士表示，此举是中国政府为提高金融体系资产质量而采取的措施之一，但也引发了市场对政府进一步采取行动稳定股市和巩固证券行业的预期。作为创建一批世界级中国投资银行战略的一部分，北京一直在鼓励金融领域的并购。此次交易后，中央汇金控制下的证券公司总数达到八家，最新收购包括中国信达资产管理公司、中国东方资产管理公司、中国长城资产管理公司、中国证券金融公司和中国农业再保险公司。
