1 hour ago Maths star Hong Wang targeted by China’s cyber nationalists for English lectures

It was a golden opportunity for academic exchange when Chinese mathematician Hong Wang, a contender for a top award, gave lectures at universities in Beijing last month, but instead her overseas experience and use of English made her an unexpected victim of rising nationalism in China.

2 h. ago How bamboo scaffolding helped build Hong Kong and still holds up its spirit

In the concrete and steel jungle of Hong Kong, bamboo remains a widely used building material.

5 h. ago AI is worsening China’s population decline. But is it all bad news?

For 32-year-old Tracy Li, marriage and childbearing have never been essential life choices. Instead of following the traditional path of starting a family like most of her elders, the human resources manager at a Beijing-based company prefers the solitary life. She is not alone. A survey of around 3,000 urban residents in October 2021 found that nearly 44 per cent of unmarried women aged 18 to 26 either had no intention of getting married or were unsure if it would happen. “The cost of giving...
