Purpose-built student accommodation is drawing mainland Chinese university students away from Hong Kong's traditional rental market, as professionally managed residences gain favour despite charging higher rents than many private flats.

The three unnamed sources suggested that neither the Pentagon nor Lockheed Martin knows why the shipment ended up in Hong Kong. The current whereabouts of the components remain unknown, triggering concerns over whether China may have gotten its hands on them. China, which has tightened its control of Hong Kong in recent years, has long sought to gather intelligence on the F-35 program. The missing componen...

Companies would instead use market......

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority, the city's de facto central bank, probably anticipated the rise in US interest rates last week. However, it is unlikely it foresaw the extent to which the Federal Reserve shifted in a hawkish direction. Even Fed watchers were surprised by the unanimous vote to increase borrowing costs and the unambiguous signal that the central bank plans to raise interest rates further in the coming months. While the HKMA, which moves in lockstep with the Fed to safeguard the......
