Through insights from a former youth recruit, anti-triad police and experts, SCMP looks at how Hong Kong’s underworld transformed its business model and culture in the past decade.

Migrant rights advocates have hailed the release of Filipino trafficking victim Mary Jane Veloso after 16 years in detention as a victorious milestone, but warn that her case exposes the dangers that still confront many vulnerable workers overseas. After coming close to being executed years ago in Indonesia, Veloso walked free on September 18 from the Correctional Institution for Women in Mandaluyong City. The single mother of two said she was deceived by recruiters who promised her a job abroad as a domestic helper.

A shark trapped in a man-made waterway in South Korea’s southern port city of Busan has drawn more than 600,000 visitors, local media reported on Tuesday. The shark is known as Bukang-i – a nickname derived from the Korean words for the city’s North Port. The animal has been stuck in the narrow canal since it was first spotted on September 18, according to South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency. On Tuesday, authorities tried but failed to guide the shark back into open water. Another operation involving nets and other equipment is planned for Friday.

US President Donald Trump has rejected calls to work with China on artificial intelligence (AI) safety, emphasising that cooperation between the two countries could undermine America’s lead in the fast-moving technology. Trump made his remarks as he announced a voluntary accord signed by leaders of six major US tech companies to address growing concerns surrounding the technology he has directed officials to call “superintelligence”. The announcement follows Trump’s high-profile summit with President Xi Jinping last week, when the two countries agreed to launch an AI incident notification hotline.

- Hong Kong’s High Court has discharged a recently empanelled jury from the murder trial of former relatives of slain socialite Abby Choi Tin-fung. The development came after one jury member asked to be excused for health reasons. The move has delayed the trial of the 28-year-old’s death, whose body was disposed of in a village house in Tai Po district in February 2023. The court announced the decision on Monday, when the prosecution was originally scheduled to present its opening statement. A new jury will be empanelled on Wednesday. Choi’s former husband and brother-in-law had pleaded guilty on Thursday to the illegal disposal of her dismembered body. They are set to stand trial along with their father on murder charges in the high-profile trial.

Speaking at a state dinner hosted at the White House by US President Donald Trump, Xi spoke of Ronald Sakolsky, who in 1999 gave US$5,000 to farmer Yin Yuzhen to plant trees in the Mu Us Desert in Inner Mongolia. Yin used the money to buy over 50,000 saplings, which in the decades since have grown into a forest. Sakolsky recently visited Yin in China to see what became of his donation. Xi cited this as a “shining example” of the friendly exchanges between Chinese and American people that he urged both sides to nurture.
