The Italian cruise ship Costa Serena docked in the Japanese city of Nagoya on Tuesday to house about 4,000 officials and athletes at the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games. There have been complaints about the games’ accommodation after local organisers opted not to build a dedicated athletes’ village to house the 17,000 participants and officials.

China’s new Pinglu Canal entered service as the country’s first river-to-sea canal on Wednesday. Built to handle ships of up to 5,000 tonnes, the infrastructure will shorten the transit distance from southwestern Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region to the sea by 560km (348 miles), bypassing ports in Guangdong province. By linking an expansive system of rivers and tributaries directly to the Gulf of Tonkin, the waterway provides landlocked areas across southern and southwestern China – such as Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan provinces – with faster routes to Asean markets and international sea lanes.

A jet operated by Iran-based Sepehran Airlines was forced to make an emergency landing at Mashhad in northeastern Iran on Tuesday. The Boeing 737 had just left Mashhad and was heading to Kermanshah when it suffered a burst tyre that damaged an engine soon after take-off. During the incident, the plane experienced severe mid-flight vibrations blamed for the collapse of part of the ceiling in the passenger cabin.

In recent years, Loudoun County in the US state of Virginia has become known as the data centre capital of the world. The community of Sterling has even earned the name “data centre alley”, after around 250 data centres were built in the area only slightly larger than Hong Kong and plans were made for more than 100 more. About 75 per cent of Americans now oppose having data centres built near them, up from 42 per cent just a year ago, according to a poll published by Heatmap News. Residents have complained about noise and pollution caused by the booming AI industry. However, US politicians including President Donald Trump, as well as tech industry advocates, say Chinese influence campaigns are amplifying grassroots opposition – a claim locals who live near the centres deny.

Researchers and state media have questioned whether the proposal is a genuine push for industry responsibility or an effort to entrench America’s technological lead. The response comes as major AI developers disclose cases of their AI agents breaking out of secure testing environments.

Mainland Chinese food and beverage chains have aggressively expanded into Hong Kong in recent years, but some are now hitting major roadblocks. Global beverage and dessert chain Mixue downsized its business in Hong Kong, while other brands like Fufuland and Ningji exited the Hong Kong market. Hong Kong’s relatively high rent and labour costs have been a challenge for many of the businesses, which normally rely on a high-volume, low-price business model common in mainland China.

North Korea has continued to dial up pressure on Washington after rebuffing US President Donald Trump’s conciliatory move to scale back US participation in a major military drill with South Korea last month.

Hong Kong authorities will review a new reservation system for a Sai Kung trail famed for its dramatic volcanic rock columns after the National Day “golden week” in October, following large numbers of no-shows during the first two trial runs. Only 1,560 registered and walk-in patrons arrived at Po Pin Chau on Saturday and Sunday, despite 3,230 people having made bookings under the real-name reservation system. Lawmakers and a district councillor have called for more on-site quotas, clearer booking status information for walk-ins, and a penalty-points system to curb no-shows.

Australia’s first mushroom coffin burial took place last Friday. Made from mycelium and hemp fibres, the casket breaks down quickly and allows the body of the deceased to give back to the earth by nourishing the soil while decomposing.

Indonesia’s Anak Krakatoa volcano erupted continuously for three days, beginning with an initial blast late Friday night. The nation’s meteorological agency reported two significant eruptions on Sunday that sent volcanic ash more than 150km (83 miles) away and across five provinces. Residents in the capital Jakarta were among those finding homes and cars covered in ashfall. Eight airports in the country were forced to suspend operations, stranding more than 170,000 passengers.

On the fourth storey of a haemodialysis centre in the Chinese city of Guangzhou, chronic kidney disease patients have formed a community to stitch clothes to make a living. Many of them lost their jobs after being diagnosed with end-stage renal disease, or uraemia. Unable to afford kidney transplants, they will need dialysis treatments three times a week for the rest of their lives. Baoshutang Haemodialysis Centre co-founder Dr Xie Qiang said the factory is a beacon of hope for his patients.

A decade ago, Starbucks Malaysia launched an ambitious experiment to create meaningful career opportunities for the nation’s deaf community. The initiative evolved from offering entry-level jobs into establishment of the world’s first Starbucks Signing Store in Kuala Lumpur. Now, deaf employees are even able to build long-term careers and advance to management roles. As the pilot project changed lives, the concept was expanded to 26 stores around the world. But despite the programme’s success, major communication and educational barriers remain for disabled people hoping to enter the mainstream workforce.

More on Hong Kong education: https://sc.mp/19c5a5
Since Hong Kong’s handover in 1997, the government has sought to transform the city’s education system from a colonial system focused on memorisation and exam pressure, and towards a more holistic development meant to foster lifelong learning. But decades on, competition has only grown stronger among Hong Kong’s young students, extending beyond the confines of the classroom and into their extracurricular activities. What are the factors driving this competition and what is being done to ease pressure on pupils?

- After six decades of supplying restaurants across Hong Kong with high-quality, locally made fish balls, Kau Kei Food Factory is now also selling directly to customers – at a fraction of the price. Owner Anita Lee pivoted the business in 2025, opening Kau Kei’s first retail outlet in Mong Kok. The move was to let customers buy its signature fish balls without the restaurant mark-up, and to raise the brand’s profile in the heart of the city.
