After Hong Kong footballers send Kai Tak fans home happy, boss targets Asian Cup
Hong Kong's win over India at Kai Tak Stadium on Tuesday will be talked about for years and earned a golden chance to qualify for the 2027 AFC Asian Cup, according to coach Ashley Westwood. A third successive goalless draw looked on the cards before Stefan Pereira's stoppage-time penalty sparked wild celebrations among home fans. The 1-0 victory left Westwood's side second in Group C of the qualifying stage. Singapore claimed top spot – level with Hong Kong on four points but having scored more goals – thanks to their 2-1 win in Bangladesh on Tuesday. 'I am sure [Tuesday's] game will be talked about for years to come – the attendance, the result,' Westwood said. 'It puts us in a great position to qualify, and hopefully we can keep building, gaining momentum and improving.' His team's Asian Cup quest will resume in October with two qualifying fixtures against Bangladesh, away then home. They host Singapore in November before finishing with a match away to India next March. Only the top team in the group will go through to the finals in Saudi Arabia. Before that is next month's East Asian Football Federation Championship finals in South Korea, in which Hong Kong play Japan on July 8, the hosts three days later then China on July 15.

Taiwanese YouTuber Gym Boss live-streams unfiltered look at mainland China
A popular YouTuber from Taiwan who was once a vocal critic of Beijing has urged his fellow Taiwanese to experience life in Shanghai first-hand, calling the mainland metropolis a 'super first-rate city' during a live-streamed visit aimed at challenging entrenched political narratives on the island. Advertisement 'People in Taiwan should come to Shanghai, take a look at the city, and experience life here for several days,' Holger Chen Chih-han said on Wednesday, on the second day of his six-day trip. Holger Chen Chih-han, better known as Kuan Chang, which means Gym Boss, live-streams to his millions of followers from Shanghai. Photo: Handout Chen, better known to his millions of followers as Kuan Chang – the Gym Boss – arrived in Shanghai on Tuesday for a self-funded tour that he said was meant to offer Taiwanese audiences an unfiltered glimpse into mainland Chinese society. Once a staunch supporter of Taiwan's ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), Chen said his perceptions shifted after years of observing the mainland through social media which, in his view, revealed a stark gap between online reality and official messaging in Taiwan. 'The construction and development in Shanghai are super first-rate and as the city has advanced, quality of life here has also progressed,' Chen said in a live stream. Advertisement Speaking to reporters before departing from Taoyuan Airport on Tuesday, Chen said he had once been deeply influenced by anti-Beijing rhetoric in Taiwan. 'I used to think I'd never set foot in China. I hated it. I believed everything the DPP told me,' he said.
