HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 26 June 2025 - The Hong Kong Civil Claim Centre (hkcivilclaim.com) has officially launched a brand-new online feature: the Work Injury Compensation Calculator.

Key Features:
User-Friendly Interface: Users simply enter their average monthly income, age, type of injury (e.g., permanent, partial, temporary incapacity), and the number of sick leave days. The calculator then provides an immediate compensation estimate.
Legally Aligned: The calculator is based on the latest standards under Hong Kong's Employees' Compensation Ordinance, factoring in monthly income caps and legally prescribed calculation methods.
Comprehensive Coverage: The tool considers various types of compensation, including loss of earning capacity, sick leave payments, medical expenses, and funeral costs (in the event of fatal injury).
A Platform for Information and Legal Referral
The Civil Claim Centre does not offer legal advice but serves as an information and referral platform. It provides:
Clear explanations of work injury compensation procedures;
Educational content on traffic accidents, frequently asked questions, and a knowledge base for work-related injuries;

India mulls easing fuel efficiency norms for small cars sought by Suzuki, sources say

India is considering relaxing fuel efficiency norms for small cars after lobbying by Maruti Suzuki, which has seen sales of such cars drop amid an SUV boom, industry and government sources told Reuters. Small cars have been key to Maruti's success in India and account for most of its sales there. However, declining demand for small models, such as Alto or Wagon-R, has driven their share in the carmaker's sales to less than 50% of the 1.7 million cars it sold last fiscal year from nearly two-thirds two years ago. India is also concerned about falling sales of small, affordable cars, according to a senior government official, and the country's top carmaker recently made the case for more favourable fuel emission norms arguing slumping sales will hurt overall growth of the passenger vehicle market. "There should be more benefit for small cars. Maruti has been asking for that and we agree," the official said, explaining the rationale behind the planned move. Under its Corporate Average Fuel Efficiency norms, India currently links the quantity of permissible carbon dioxide emissions to the vehicle's weight for all cars weighing less than 3,500 kg (7,716 lb). The planned easing would relax such limits for cars weighing less than 1,000 kg, three people said, without sharing specific details of the reduction. To meet the norms and avoid penalties, carmakers need to sell a certain percentage of low-emission models, mainly electric vehicles. Relaxing the limits for small cars, means less pressure to electrify them, which will benefit those with the larger share of such models in their lineup, they said. With 10 of its current 17 models weighing less than 1,000 kg, Maruti stands to gain the most. Other carmakers with at least one small model on sale include Hyundai Motor , JSW MG Motor, Renault and Toyota Motor. India's ministry of heavy industries did not respond to a request seeking comment. Maruti did not respond to an email seeking comment, but its Japanese parent Suzuki Motor said in a 2024 sustainability report that small cars were good for the environment not just because of their lower emissions but also because fewer materials and less energy were needed to make them. In a closed-door meeting on June 17, the ministry asked carmakers, including Tata Motors, Mahindra & Mahindra and Volkswagen, if they agreed to give small cars more leeway in the next set of fuel efficiency norms that will apply from April 2027, three people said. The companies are yet to respond, but any preferential treatment will be a departure from a previously agreed consensus and could be seen as giving Maruti an unfair advantage, four sources said. Tata, Mahindra, Volkswagen, Hyundai, JSW MG Motor and Toyota also did not respond to emails seeking comment. Renault's country head, Venkatram Mamillapalle, said the company is confident that India's auto trade body will "represent the collective voice of the industry ... that benefits all stakeholders". Four people familiar with the matter said that applying different norms based on a car's weight or size has not come up during months of consultations between the government and automakers.

UAE, China explore opportunities to strengthen cooperation in energy, renewables, industry, infrastructure

Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, UAE Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology, Managing Director and Group CEO of ADNOC, and Chairman of Masdar, conducted a working visit to the People's Republic of China, where he met with senior Chinese government officials as well as top executives from leading Chinese companies. The visit aimed to strengthen bilateral relations and expand cooperation in energy, renewable energy, industry, and infrastructure. During the visit, Dr. Sultan Al Jaber met with Lan Fo'an, China's Minister of Finance, and Liu Jianchao, Head of the International Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party (CPC) of China, and Zou Jiayi, President of AIIB in the presence of Hussain bin Ibrahim Al Hammadi, UAE Ambassador to China. Dr. Al Jaber emphasised the UAE's unwavering commitment to strengthening and expanding the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership with China, and the importance of launching new initiatives that support the development goals of both nations, with a focus on empowering national companies and enhancing collaboration between the public and private sectors, in a way that supports mutual sustainable economic growth and prosperity. Dr. Sultan Al Jaber held a series of meetings with senior leaders from major Chinese companies, including Wang Yuetao, Chairman of ZhenHua Oil, Liao Zengtai, Chairman of Wanhua, a leading chemicals manufacturing company; Liu Haoling, President of the China Investment Corporation (CIC); Dai Houliang, Chairman of China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), one of the world's largest energy and petrochemical companies; Zhang Chuanjiang, Chairman of China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC); Zhang Lei, Chairman of Envision, specialising in renewables and smart energy management solutions; Song Hailiang, Chairman of China Energy Engineering Corporation (CEEC), active in energy and infrastructure projects; and Chen Guanfu, Chairman of POWERCHINA International. The meetings focused on the latest developments in cooperation across energy sectors, including renewables, oil and gas, LNG, refining, and petrochemicals, as well as strategic shipping and storage. They also explored ways to enhance investments in priority areas of mutual interest and potential industrial infrastructure projects, in line with both countries' shared interest to advancing industrial and technological partnerships that support sustainable development, facilitate knowledge transfer and localisation, and boost global competitiveness. China remains the UAE's largest trading partner, with total bilateral trade exceeding US$100 billion in 2024, reflecting a year-on-year growth of 7%, driven primarily by an 18% increase in imports. In the first quarter of 2025, non-oil trade between the two countries grew by approximately 18% compared to the same period last year, supported by a 32.5% rise in exports, a 20.2% increase in re-exports, and a 12.7% growth in imports.
