Chinese maths star solves geometry problem, Hong Kong actor bankrupt: SCMP’s 7 highlights
Chinese mathematician Wang Hong has achieved a significant breakthrough by solving the Kakeya conjecture in three dimensions. This "infamous" geometry problem's solution is expected to have wide-ranging implications for fields such as imaging, data processing, cryptography, and wireless communication, marking a major advancement in theoretical mathematics with practical applications.
Meanwhile, contrasting economic visions emerged from China and the United States this week. Chinese Premier Li Qiang announced plans for increased government spending to stimulate economic growth, while US President Donald Trump pledged to reduce the size of the federal government to balance the budget. These divergent approaches highlight differing philosophies on the role of government in shaping economic outcomes.
