Gay Chinese couple fulfil wedding dream in ‘freer' Thailand: ‘more inclusive to our community'
China , it was love at first sight.
'I thought he was handsome and pure,' says Wang. 'Our love has deepened over time.'
Nearly three years later, the gay Chinese couple are getting married in
Thailand , which became Asia's largest nation to legalise same-sex marriage earlier this year – including for foreign couples.
They are among the first Chinese
LGBTQ pairs to tie the knot in the
Southeast Asian country as it celebrates its first Pride since the law's passage.
'Thailand is a freer country,' said Wang after they signed their marriage certificate at a Bangkok registry office. 'It's also more inclusive to our community.'
He believes they are the first gay Chinese couple to host a full wedding ceremony in Thailand, but that 'gradually' more will follow in their footsteps.

New Communist Party rules hint China's Xi Jinping is delegating more power to deputies
New rules on certain Communist Party organs suggest China's ruling party is aiming to standardise its decision-making process and that President Xi Jinping might be delegating more of his power, according to observers. One analyst said the move could hint at his plan for succession. The 24-member Politburo , the party's top echelon, on Monday reviewed new rules that would apply to the various 'party coordinative institutes' – organisations aimed at coordinating cross-agency policies in a specific area. Specifically, these refer to party 'central commissions' and 'party leading groups', many of which were either founded or given expanded power during Xi's tenure. The new regulations aim to standardise the policy coordination and review process at the top, according to state news agency Xinhua. According to Xinhua, the Politburo meeting noted that these organs should focus on 'planning, discussing and checking on major matters'.

Hong Kong and Singapore: rivals and partners learning from each other
In a few weeks, my family and I will leave Hong Kong, a city we have called our second home since June 2021. Much has happened in these four years. The world was in the throes of Covid-19. The airport was a ghost town. A few months later, the Omicron wave hit, holding back the city from reopening. Amid geopolitical tensions and macroeconomic headwinds, the local economy, especially retail, real estate and tourism, suffered. But this dynamic city is bouncing back. First, in a step-by-step, practical manner, Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu's administration led the city out of the pandemic in late 2022, putting it on the path of steady recovery. Social restrictions were lifted, and Hong Kong regained international connectivity. Second, law and order as well as social stability have returned. Hong Kong fulfilled its obligation under the Basic Law to enact national security legislation last year. Third, Lee embarked on a transformational exercise to adopt a results-oriented approach to governance. The government is embracing a proactive role in delivering public goods, and fostering new growth engines like mega-event tourism and innovation and technology.

How Singapore's early leaders supported Lee Kuan Yew's vision by challenging him
In this excerpt from Ink and Influence: An OB Markers Sequel, Cheong Yip Seng , former editor-in-chief of The Straits Times, offers rare behind-the-scenes insights into the personalities who shaped post-independence Singapore . Through stories involving figures such as S.R. Nathan, a senior civil servant who later became president, and S. Rajaratnam, the country's first foreign minister, Cheong reveals a founding leadership team unafraid to challenge even Lee Kuan Yew – while remaining bound by a shared national mission. A story S.R. Nathan once told me was revealing. He was S. Rajaratnam's (Raja's) Permanent Secretary when Raja took charge of the foreign ministry after Singapore separated from Malaysia . One afternoon, Raja was being interviewed by a visiting foreign correspondent, whose reporting was critical of Singapore. S.R. received a call from Lee Kuan Yew's (LKY's) secretary: Can Raja drop by his office? Raja glanced at S.R.'s message, and carried on talking to his visitor. More than an hour went by. S.R. grew nervous. He didn't think the Prime Minister should be kept waiting. More time passed. LKY's personal assistant was frantic and messaged S.R. again. S.R. sent a reminder, but Raja continued with the interview. Late that afternoon, after the reporter had left, Raja phoned LKY. I was talking to a foreign correspondent, he told LKY. Did you want to see me? Never mind, was the reply. S.R.'s point in narrating the story was to show how tightly-knit the team was. They were a group of equals drawn together by a common cause. It also showed how seriously senior leaders took the press, even those hostile to them.
