What are Duterte’s links to Hong Kong as ex-Philippine leader visits amid arrest rumours
前菲律宾总统罗德里戈·杜特尔特及其女儿、现任菲律宾副总统莎拉·杜特尔特本周访问香港，引发媒体关注。他们在湾仔向约2000名菲律宾人发表政治集会演讲，旨在为他们政党在即将到来的中期选举中争取支持。
中国外交部驻港公署表示，两人此行是“私人度假”。与此同时，外界猜测杜特尔特可能因其政府的禁毒战争而在国际刑事法院面临危害人类罪的指控，他的女儿也可能受到牵连。此前，杜特尔特曾多次因个人原因访问香港，包括消费和用餐等。

Are China’s biggest firms turning the page on 996-style work culture?
DJI, China's leading drone manufacturer, has implemented a new policy requiring employees to leave the office by 9 pm, a significant shift from its previous culture of long working hours. This change, enforced by HR managers who ensure compliance, has sparked considerable discussion both online and offline, with employees sharing anecdotes and expressing their views on the new rule.
The move follows recent government pledges to address "neijuan," a term referring to a self-defeating cycle of competition where companies invest more resources for diminishing returns. Premier Li Qiang vowed a comprehensive crackdown on neijuan in his recent work report, signaling a broader effort to combat the relentless rat race culture prevalent in many Chinese companies.

Singapore Exchange to list bitcoin futures, join global shift in expanding crypto derivatives
新加坡交易所（SGX）计划在2025年下半年上市比特币永续期货。此举表明传统交易所正进一步深入加密货币衍生品市场，旨在为机构客户和专业投资者提供更多参与数字资产的机会，零售客户将被禁止交易这些产品。
此举是老牌交易所运营商向比特币衍生品领域扩张的最新迹象。美国前总统特朗普对加密货币的积极态度推动了对数字资产敞口的需求。SGX希望成为受监管金融市场和加密货币交易之间的桥梁，认为其产品将“显著扩大机构市场准入”。目前，该计划尚待新加坡金融管理局的批准。

How Philippines’ Duterte responds to potential ICC arrest could shape midterms
Former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has stated his readiness to face arrest amid speculation that the International Criminal Court (ICC) is preparing to issue a warrant against him. The warrant would be related to alleged crimes against humanity committed during his controversial war on drugs, which resulted in thousands of deaths. Duterte made these comments at a rally in Hong Kong, where he was campaigning for his senatorial candidates ahead of the Philippine midterm elections in May.
Duterte's anti-narcotics crackdown, a key promise during his 2016 campaign, has been widely criticized by human rights groups, who estimate the death toll to be far higher than the official figure of 5,600. His appearance in Hong Kong, aimed at rallying support from Filipino workers, comes as analysts suggest that a potential ICC arrest warrant could weaken his family's political influence. Duterte defended his actions at the rally, stating that his motives were for the benefit of the nation and its children, and that he would accept his fate if arrested.

What can Hong Kong do as Singapore secures Lady Gaga for latest superstar gigs?
Hong Kong observers suggest that securing exclusive Asian stops for major stars like Lady Gaga, who is set to perform four dates in Singapore following Taylor Swift's concerts last year, requires a careful calculation of economic benefits versus the costs of attracting such exclusive events. The potential deal involves complex commercial negotiations, with Singapore likely offering substantial incentives to secure the monopoly, details of which remain confidential due to commercial sensitivities.
The recent opening of the Kai Tak Sports Park, featuring a 50,000-seat stadium, could enhance Hong Kong's ability to compete for high-profile global events, potentially stimulating tourism and spending. However, determining the optimal investment for such events necessitates a thorough cost-benefit analysis, considering the undisclosed details of deals made by competitors like Singapore to secure exclusive performances.

Doubts raised over introduction of plastic recycling scheme in Hong Kong
香港政府推行的塑料瓶和饮料盒回收计划受到质疑，顾问们认为缺乏足够的激励措施是主要问题。 虽然环境咨询委员会原则上支持该计划，但部分成员建议缩短目标实现的时间线，并提高目前提议的每个回收物品10港币的回扣。
环境及生态局上月表示，将要求饮料供应商自行安排回收，或聘请注册运营商，以达到政府设定的回收目标，即回收容量为100毫升至2升的饮料瓶。根据提交立法会的文件，所有指定的回收点都必须提供不低于0.1港币的回扣。政府计划在今年第二季度对相关条例进行修订，预计几年后开始实施，目标是在实施后的六到八年内回收75%的塑料瓶和一半的饮料盒。有委员会成员认为，六到八年的时间跨度过长。

Trump may meet Xi in China as soon as April despite escalating trade war, insiders say
Donald Trump可能最早下个月访问中国，旨在敲定与北京的协议。多方外交消息显示，自特朗普重返白宫以来，他似乎专注于与中国达成协议，双方总统都希望促成对方的访问，以展现外交上的胜利，但初步讨论主要围绕特朗普访华展开。
目前尚不清楚有关潜在访问的讨论进展到何种程度。有消息称，由于美国政府正在经历剧烈的变化，北京官员现在与华盛顿的对话比拜登政府时期更加困难。在特朗普1月20日重返白宫前几天，他与中国国家主席习近平通了电话，讨论了广泛的议题。

Foxconn launches traditional Chinese large language model for AI-driven manufacturing
Foxconn, the world's largest electronics contract manufacturer and a major Apple supplier, has launched its first Chinese large language model (LLM) named FoxBrain, trained on traditional characters. This move signifies the company's commitment to integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into its manufacturing processes and marks a milestone in Taiwan's AI technology development.
FoxBrain was trained in just four weeks using 120 Nvidia H100 GPUs, demonstrating efficiency and cost-effectiveness. The model excels in mathematics and logical reasoning and is initially intended for internal applications. Foxconn plans to open-source FoxBrain in the future to collaborate with technology partners, expand its applications, and promote AI adoption in the manufacturing sector, following a trend of open-sourcing AI models for broader development and innovation.

Top envoy dismisses talk of US-Russia alliance against China as ‘cold war mindset’
China's ambassador to Russia, Zhang Hanhui, dismissed the possibility of a US-Russia alliance against Beijing under a potential Trump administration, labeling such notions as a reflection of a "cold war mindset." He emphasized the strength and long-term strategic nature of the Sino-Russian partnership.
Zhang stated that Moscow's relationships with Washington and Beijing are independent of each other. He highlighted the deep mutual trust, established exchange mechanisms, and shared interests between China and Russia, underscoring that their relationship is not based on short-term goals. This comes amidst speculation that a returning Trump administration might seek to improve US-Russia relations, potentially at the expense of the China-Russia partnership, similar to Nixon's approach to the Soviet Union in the 1970s.

Purge of USAID complete, with 83% of programmes gone, Secretary of State Marco Rubio says
美国国务卿马可·卢比奥宣布，美国将取消美国国际开发署（USAID）83%的项目。这一举措是在特朗普总统1月份签署行政命令，冻结所有美国对外援助之后进行的，目的是评估海外支出，并削减不符合“美国优先”议程的项目。卢比奥表示，取消的5200份合同涉及数百亿美元的支出，这些支出未能服务于美国的核心国家利益，甚至在某些情况下损害了这些利益。
卢比奥表示，剩余的18%的项目将与国会协商后，在国务院的领导下更有效地管理。他还特别感谢了由埃隆·马斯克领导的政府效率部（Doge），该部门正在推动削减政府部门的成本和职位。然而，民主党议员和其他人士批评此举为非法，并表示关闭由国会资助的项目需要得到国会的批准。

EU and Britain must step up and lead a coalition for peace in Ukraine
Donald Trump's approach to the Ukraine war marks a significant shift, characterized by paused military aid and skepticism about Ukraine's ability to fully recover lost territory. This change in US policy follows reported tensions between Trump, Vice-President Vance, and Ukrainian President Zelensky. While supporters see Trump as an unconventional peacemaker challenging transatlantic alliances, critics view his actions as self-serving unilateralism.
Regardless of perspective, Trump's stance highlights Europe's over-reliance on American military guarantees. While Europe has focused on "de-risking" from China economically, less attention has been given to reducing dependence on the US for security. As Trump appears more interested in securing mineral deals than long-term security for Ukraine, and with China and India maintaining neutrality, Kyiv is compelled to seek support from the EU and Britain, potentially reshaping the geopolitical landscape.

Agibot unveils AI model that allows humanoid robots to perform real-world tasks
Agibot, founded by former Huawei "Genius Youth" recruit Peng Zhihui, has launched Genie Operator-1 (GO-1), a general AI model designed to be a general-purpose brain for humanoid robots. This model aims to enable robots to understand natural language instructions, perform reasoning, and adapt to real-world environments, moving beyond pre-programmed routines.
GO-1 utilizes vision-language models, trained on vast amounts of images and videos, to help robots understand human actions. Its algorithms for planning and action enable the robot to map out steps and perform movements to achieve required tasks. Agibot claims the system can learn quickly from limited training data by observing videos of humans performing activities, lowering the barrier to embodied intelligence.

HK$150 million subsidy allocated for 2,500 graduates in Hong Kong construction
香港建造业议会将拨款1.5亿港元，资助企业培训和留用2500名毕业生。尽管私人项目减少，但议会对建筑业的未来仍然充满信心。该计划旨在帮助企业应对困难时期，通过补贴顾问公司和主要承包商，培训来自五个专业领域的毕业生。
政府预计未来五年年度基本工程开支将从900亿港元增加到平均1200亿港元，并将发行债券以筹集资金。近年来，开发商对政府土地投标反应冷淡，导致建筑公司裁员和一些测量公司业务亏损。该计划面向工程、建筑、测量、规划和景观建筑专业的35岁或以下毕业生，且尚未获得专业资格或接受过类似补贴。
