Hong Kong govt condemns 'anti-China forces' for defending jailed media boss Jimmy Lai after press freedom index ranks city 140th

Hong Kong government has condemned attempts by anti-China forces and foreign media to defend jailed former media boss Jimmy Lai Chee-ying after the city ranked 140th out of 180 countries in the World Press Freedom Index. Authorities issued a strongly-worded statement slamming attempts to 'slander, smear and attack' the city, saying some media organisations had 'conflated the criminal acts in the Lai Chee-Ying case with freedom of the press'. Reporters Without Borders said a 'draconian national security law' had allowed authorities to imprison Lai, who was recently sentenced to 20 years in prison.

Hong Kong Education City Portal Fails to Meet User Targets, Audit Report Finds

An Audit Commission report released Wednesday found that EdCity, a Hong Kong government-funded online portal for teachers and students, failed to meet its user number targets with thousands of teaching resources and assessment items never downloaded or used. The platform had 272 teaching resources never downloaded, about 20 items not viewed at all, and more than 2,700 online assessment items for teachers never used. In 2023-24, EdCity's income was HK$64.6 million with expenditure of HK$64.5 million. The executive director attributed low usage to Hong Kong's shrinking student population.

Hong Kong to include unscathed block in Tai Po fire resettlement plan after 75% homeowners opt for buyback

The Hong Kong government will include Wang Chi House, the only block spared in the deadly Wang Fuk Court blaze in Tai Po that killed 168 people in November, in its resettlement plan after 75% of homeowners indicated a preference to sell their flats to authorities. The block was originally excluded from the February proposals, but Deputy Financial Secretary Michael Wong Wai-lun had said authorities would consider acquiring flats if owners reached a high degree of consensus. The original plan involved HK$6.8 billion to buy back damaged homes.
