Hong Kong TV stations should boost English content
Hong Kong prides itself as Asia's world city. Yet there is no shortage of examples to show that the city may not live up to that reputation. The glaring inadequacy of television programmes in English for international audiences is a case in point. With a public consultation for the renewal of the three free TV licences due later this year, some lawmakers have called for more local productions in English, saying the current content is diminishing and lacks variety. Advertisement Local TV stations have been running more programmes in Mandarin after the cap for non-English programmes on English channels was raised from 20 per cent to 45 per cent in 2023 following a midterm license review. They may also show programmes in Mandarin with Chinese subtitles on Chinese channels for up to 10 per cent of the total broadcasting time. While it is understandable to show more programmes in Mandarin these days, it also means less content and fewer choices for many non-Chinese speakers. Admittedly, fewer people watch TV these days. The growing popularity of online media is also posing significant challenges to traditional broadcasting. But it remains the responsibility of the broadcasters to fulfil the licensing requirements. Expatriates feel they are increasingly being marginalised or alienated, saying there is little TV content that relates to them. A search on the internet for 'Hong Kong TV programmes in English' yields many results diverting users to watch programmes on overseas live streaming platforms via VPN, or virtual private network. The dearth of local and quality programmes in English is not new. Not only is this unconducive to social integration, it may also weaken Hong Kong's status as an international and inclusive city. Both Chinese and English are official languages in Hong Kong. Together with Mandarin, the biliteracy and trilingual policy is pivotal to the city's international competitiveness and national integration. The coming license review should ensure broadcasters will cater to the needs of all. Separately, some licensing rules are dated. They should be reviewed regularly to reflect present circumstances and enable broadcasters to cope with challenges arising from new technology and changing viewership.

How Philippines' Sara Duterte won round 1 of impeachment battle
Philippine Vice-President Sara Duterte-Carpio has won round one of her impeachment battle after her allies in the Senate tossed back the bid to the Lower House on claims it was 'defective' and 'unconstitutional'. The unprecedented move on Tuesday, which was settled by a vote of 18-5, has triggered an intense debate online about the senators' actions and Duterte-Carpio's political future. 'I think, for now, Sara has momentum even if the president still has three years left in his term of office,' political risk analyst Rolando Llamas told This Week in Asia, referring to the country's leader, Ferdinand Marcos Jnr. There has been widespread speculation that Duterte-Carpio is expected to contest the 2028 presidential election, and her ally, Senator Ronald 'Bato' Dela Rosa, told his colleagues on Tuesday that the impeachment trial was meant to derail that. But whether she could clinch the presidency even if she were to escape impeachment would depend on her support from youth and millennial voters, with these groups seen as more demanding of accountability from officials, according to Llamas. This demographic enabled the Akbayan party list group to unexpectedly win the recent Senate midterm elections, with Francis Pangilinan and Bam Aquino, two opposition senators who are not allied with either the Duterte family or Marcos Jnr, coming into office, according to Llamas.

Hong Kong's John Lee seeks closer ties in meeting with EU officials
Hong Kong's leader has sought to deepen ties with the EU in a meeting with the bloc's representatives, saying the city will remain a free port despite growing protectionism globally. Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu said on Wednesday that he had hosted a lunch attended by Harvey Rouse, head of the Office of the European Union to Hong Kong and Macau, as well as 15 consuls general from the bloc's member countries. The gathering served as a platform for direct dialogue and an exchange of views, with a focus on exploring new avenues to enhance economic, trade and development cooperation, Lee said in a social media post. He emphasised Hong Kong's unique position as a 'superconnector' and 'super value-adder', citing its low and simple tax regime, world-class infrastructure, diverse and multicultural talent pool, and broad spectrum of professional services. These attributes made the city an 'ideal gateway between East and West', Lee said. He also extended an invitation to businesses globally, including those from Europe, to 'explore the vast array of opportunities' both in Hong Kong and mainland China. The lunch took place amid simmering US-China tensions, even as the two countries reached a deal during high-level talks in London on tariff cuts, rare earth exports, Chinese students attending US universities and a trade-war truce signed earlier in Geneva. The latest agreement is subject to final approval by the presidents of the two countries. The United States and China have been engaged in an escalating tit-for-tat tariff war in recent months, with the levy on Chinese goods at one point reaching 145 per cent.
