Nine residential sites will be offered to developers in the coming financial year to provide about 6,650 flats under Hong Kong’s land sale programme, after authorities highlighted the property market had stabilised in the latest budget.Combined with other land sources, such as urban redevelopment, private development and projects linked to railway properties, the potential supply of new flats is estimated to reach an eight-year high of about 22,580 in the 2026-27 financial year.The current record was set in 2018-19 when about 25,500 flats were made available.Secretary for Development Bernadette Linn Hon-ho revealed on Friday that the coming land sale programme would offer nine residential sites, including three that were on the previous list of plots.“It is obvious that the market is recovering and transactions have steadily increased,” she said.The nine sites are located in Stanley, Hung Shui Kiu, Ho Man Tin, Sai Kung, Sha Tin and Tung Chung. Each plot is expected to yield between 250 and 1,580 flats.Three of the sites are in Hung Shui Kiu, an area of the New Territories that authorities aim to turn into a hub for high-value professional services and logistics as part of the Northern Metropolis megaproject.

5 years and 1 election later, why China’s Myanmar dilemma still isn’t over

Early in 2021, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi visited Myanmar’s capital Naypyidaw and held talks with both General Min Aung Hlaing, the chief of the armed forces, and Aung San Suu Kyi, the de facto leader of the civilian government.

Taipei must break free of its abusive relationship with Washington

If Caligula were the president of the United States, Taiwan’s leader William Lai Ching-te might still kowtow to him. By now, it seems pretty clear that US President Donald Trump has no real policies to speak of, only caprice and vague ideological preferences. That was how bad emperors acted, and Trump obviously sees himself as some kind of king, unrestrained by anything other than his personal inclinations. It’s not surprising there have been “No Kings” protests across the US. From his lifelong...

Trump says US discussing ‘friendly takeover’ of Cuba: ‘they’re in big trouble’

US President Donald Trump suggested a possible “friendly takeover of Cuba” as the White House looks to leverage the Communist-run island’s energy crisis to exert greater influence. “They’re in big trouble, and we could very well do something good, I think, very positive for the people that were expelled, or worse, from Cuba that live here,” Trump told reporters on Friday as he departed the White House for Texas. “You know, we have people living here that want to go back to Cuba.” “We could very...

BMW to trial humanoid robots at German factory, as China competition heats up

German carmaker BMW said on Friday that it planned to deploy two AI-powered humanoid robots in a factory in a pilot programme for the first time this year.
