‘Mini-dictatorship’: Students slam far-right turn at Argentina-run residence in Paris | ‘Mini-dictatorship’: 学生抨击阿根廷政府在巴黎管理的宿舍转向极右翼
阿根廷在巴黎运营的一处大学宿舍“阿根廷之家”近日受到质疑。就在阿根廷总统哈维尔·米莱访问法国前夕，巴黎市政府要求外交部调查该宿舍，原因是有活动人士指控它并未促进“和平共处”，反而限制住客自由，并接待欧洲极右翼人物。
据报道，这处宿舍位于法国首都国际大学城（Cité Universitaire）校园内，是由外国政府或法国机构运营的众多宿舍之一。巴黎市官员对相关指控表示关注，并要求法国外交部门介入调查，以核实“阿根廷之家”的运作情况以及其接待人员是否符合校园原本的宗旨。
目前，相关争议仍在发酵。报道指出，活动人士认为该宿舍的实际做法与其宣传目标存在明显偏差，而巴黎方面已将此事提升为外交与公共管理层面的关注事项。

Taiwan’s opposition parties split over mayoral race, threatening 2028 election alliance
台湾两大在野党国民党与民众党因新竹县竹北市长选举破局，出现公开分歧，这一裂痕可能延烧至11月选举，并冲击双方未来在2028年结盟的脆弱互信。在长达数周的协商未能推出共同候选人后，国民党与民众党都已登记参选竹北市市长。国民党提名新竹县议员吴旭智，民众党则推出邱……
竹北市是新竹县最大城市，这场选战因此具有象征意义，也被视为两党合作意向的重要测试。双方原本希望透过协调整合避免分裂参选，但最终未能达成共识，显示在地方选举布局上仍存在明显竞争与不信任。
外界担忧，这次争端不仅会影响11月地方选举的结果，也可能削弱两党未来在更高层级选举中的合作基础。若双方无法修复关系，原本被寄予厚望的在野联盟前景恐将更加复杂。

After 66 years, Kau Kee’s first shop offers fish balls ‘every Hongkonger has eaten’ | 开业66年后，九记首店推出“每个香港人都吃过”的鱼蛋
香港老字号食品厂九记食品厂（Kau Kee Food Factory）在经营66年后，去年底首次开设零售店，开始把原本只供应给餐厅和街头小食档的鱼蛋产品直接卖给消费者。 这家公司长期以来一直是香港食品业的“隐形巨头”，其鱼蛋供应给全港近1,000家食肆和小吃摊，但品牌知名度主要局限于业内人士。
接手家族生意的第二代老板李恩筠（Anita Lee Yan-kwan）表示，自己从小就在这门传统生意环境中长大。如今，随着首家零售门店开业，九记食品厂希望让更多市民认识这家老牌企业及其代表产品。
