Hong Kong's John Lee vows to ‘confront challenges', shun complacency
Hong Kong's leader has said his administration is committed to being a 'reformer who confronts challenges rather than a complacent person who avoids improvement', while pledging to seek change and explore new markets to take the city to new heights.
In the latest video posted on his social media accounts on Sunday, Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu also elaborated on the themes behind a series of videos marking each year of his administration, indicating a change in governance focus.
The first of the videos, published in 2023, saw him surveying the city from the Peak and highlighting the importance of 'farsightedness' in governance, as noted by his special assistant, Jenny Wong Tsz-yuen, who appeared in the production.
The 2024 clip featured Lee taking a ferry across Victoria Harbour, symbolising the need for the Hong Kong government to 'ride the wind and waves' to overcome challenges effectively.
Two videos were released on Sunday for this year and involved him watching butterflies in the Hong Kong Wetland Park and piloting a simulated drone in the City Gallery exhibition.
Titled 'From Cocoon to Butterfly: Reaching New Heights', the videos underscored the government's focus on ambitious reforms in the coming year.

Reaction to Angel Chong's Miss Hong Kong bid should spark reflection
Despite having been part of our lives for a long time, beauty pageants have come in for heavy criticism in recent years for objectifying women and reducing them to being judged only on their outward appearance. Despite reforms aimed at improving social perception and what constitutes 'beauty' , they remain controversial. So, when Angel Chong Nga-ting, a 24-year-old local district councillor, decided to put herself out there and enter the contest for the title of Miss Hong Kong, some in the community lost their mind. Chong has every right to make such choices. She is an adult and can do so without needing to seek approval. Or don't we actually believe it when we tell the girls and women in our lives that they can be whatever they want and to chase their dreams Chong's decision to withdraw from the pageant is probably the result of pressure from her political party, the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong (DAB). Veteran political commentator Sonny Lo Shiu-hing said, 'Having a district council member suddenly run for the Miss Hong Kong Pageant does not look good for the party's image and its preparation for the election. From the perspective of the largest political party [in Hong Kong], it expects party members to stick to party discipline.' The problem with this is that, last time I checked, competing to be Miss Hong Kong was still perfectly legal, even for district councillors. The judgment is being passed because Chong's entry 'looks bad' for the DAB's image, party discipline and – according to Chong, who said she pulled out to protect the district council's image – the council itself. There is no question about how Chong's actions have been perceived. However, if people are rejecting her decision because of the superficiality of beauty pageants and how her participation might reflect on those she associates with, aren't her critics just as superficial?

Hong Kong justice minister says ‘soft resistance' political term, not legal one
Hong Kong's justice minister has said that 'soft resistance' is a political term instead of a legal one and should not be used randomly, while offering his definition for actions that officials have said continue to pose a threat to national security. Secretary for Justice Paul Lam Ting-kwok also said the promotion of national security should be proportionate and strike a balance with the city's development, echoing a call from Beijing's top official overseeing Hong Kong affairs earlier this month. Xia Baolong, director of the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office, earlier warned that soft resistance still existed in the city five years after the Beijing-decreed national security law was enacted. He said it had also evolved into new forms and that the city should not 'forget the pain when wounds were healed'. Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu said that soft resistance definitely existed in the city and urged the public to stay vigilant against its various forms. The term first appeared in 2021 in a speech by Luo Huining, then director of Beijing's liaison office, to mark Hong Kong's first National Security Education Day. The phrase, which has reportedly been in use in mainland China, has since been gradually adopted by local officials and later by judges.

Trump says ‘getting along well' with China, downplays ‘aggressive' acts linked to Beijing
US President Donald Trump on Sunday dismissed the importance of aggressive actions linked to Beijing including recent arrests of two Chinese nationals accused of smuggling a dangerous pathogen into the United States, saying 'that's the way the world works'. Trump told Fox News that Washington behaves in a similar way. 'You don't think we do that to them? We do, we do a lot of things,' he said on the Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo show. 'That's the way the world works. It's a nasty world.' Trump was responding to a question about how he viewed Chinese intellectual property theft, hacking of the US telecoms system and controversy around the Covid-19 pandemic. He likewise dismissed concerns over a case in which two Chinese nationals were accused last month of smuggling in a toxic fungus. Yunqing Jian, 33, and Zunyong Liu, 34, are charged with conspiracy, smuggling, false statements and visa fraud.
