Chinese ambulance uses siren to clear way for tourists, sparks public outrage
Advertisement
The incident happened on the 117km long road that connects the rest of China to the remote county of Medog in the mountainous autonomous region in the western part of the country.
Medog used to be known as China's last roadless county because of its difficult geological conditions before the highway opened in 2013.
The road has been popular among tourists nationwide for the beautiful scenery along the route.

Hong Kong prosecutors drop charge against Indonesian tourist in tumbler case
Hong Kong prosecutors have dropped a criminal charge against an Indonesian tourist whose tumbler fell out of his backpack and hit another visitor at The Peak last month. Advertisement Merchant Satnauli Bangun, 44, was initially prosecuted for allegedly allowing an object to fall from a height when he visited The Peak Tower on July 2. The accused had put his backpack on a fence while sightseeing inside the shopping area of the premises, but his tumbler fell out of a side pocket and hit a mainland Chinese woman on the head on the floor below. Prosecutors on Friday told Eastern Court that they had decided to drop the case after reviewing the overall circumstances, without offering further explanation. Magistrate Minnie Wat Lai-man approved the prosecution's request to dispose of the tumbler concerned after the defence raised no objection.

Investigation into Shaolin Temple's ‘CEO monk' a chance to clear the air
Its unique blend of Buddhism and martial arts training over the centuries has not just earned the Shaolin Temple an iconic status among China's cultural treasures, it is also one of the country's best-known global brands and sources of soft power, inspiring generations of followers and visitors who appreciate its Chinese and world heritage. Every effort must be made to preserve it. Advertisement The alleged embezzlement and sexual misconduct involving Shi Yongxin, head of the temple, does nothing for the reputation of the monastery. But the investigation by the authorities underlines awareness of the severity of the matter and determination to put the house in order. Rumours surrounding Shi's whereabouts gained traction on social media when the leader was said to have been taken away for investigation. An official statement from the Buddhist sanctuary later confirmed that he was being investigated for criminal offences including embezzling project funds and temple assets. The 60-year-old abbot was also suspected of seriously violating Buddhist precepts, including maintaining improper relationships with multiple women for a long time and having illegitimate children. Companies linked to Shi were later deregistered and his Buddhist credentials were revoked. The probe is not the first. Ten years ago, Shi was accused by a former disciple of fathering several children out of wedlock and of embezzling funds. Henan provincial religious authorities dropped the charges in 2017, citing insufficient evidence. The authorities have to fully investigate this time to clear the air. Nicknamed the 'CEO monk', Shi has faced criticism for transforming the 1,500-year-old monastery into a business empire. While the business ventures have helped raise the profile of the Henan-based monastery, the aggressive expansion sits oddly with its pursuit of spiritual enlightenment, self-discipline and peace. Advertisement The investigation has opened up an opportunity to review the institution's management and development direction. Hopefully, it can help ascertain if there has been any wrongdoing and pave the way for further promoting the brand without compromising the essence that makes Shaolin an invaluable part of Chinese and world heritage.

Macau ex-lawmaker arrested in city's first nat. security law action
A former Macau pro-democracy lawmaker became the first person to be arrested under the city's national security law, with authorities alleging on Thursday that he had ties to foreign groups endangering China. The Chinese casino hub, which has its own legal system largely based on Portuguese law, enacted national security legislation in 2009 and widened its powers in 2023. Macau's judicial police said a 68-year-old local man surnamed Au was arrested and handed over to public prosecutors on suspicion of 'establishing connections… outside Macau to commit acts endangering national security'. Local media identified the man as Au Kam San, a primary school teacher who became one of Macau's longest-serving pro-democracy legislators before deciding not to seek re-election in 2021. The man allegedly provided 'a large amount of false and seditious information to an anti-China group' for public exhibitions online and abroad since 2022, and 'stirred up hatred' against the Macau and Beijing governments. He is also accused of spreading false information to various groups, which allegedly disrupted the city's 2024 leadership election and caused foreign countries to take hostile action against Macau, police said in a statement, without naming the groups. A stalwart of Macau's tiny opposition camp, Au spent years campaigning on issues such as social welfare, corruption and electoral reform. Online news platform All About Macau reported that judicial police took away the ex-lawmaker and his wife Virginia Cheang on Wednesday. Cheang told the outlet outside the public prosecution office on Thursday that she was listed as a witness and that she did not know why her husband was detained. AFP was unable to reach Au for comment. Chill on dissent The former Portuguese colony reverted to Chinese rule in 1999 via a 'One Country, Two Systems' framework that promised a high degree of autonomy and rights protections. For years it was regarded by Beijing as a poster child in contrast with neighbouring Hong Kong, which often saw boisterous protests. The high-water mark of Macau activism came in 2014 when some 200,000 people rallied to oppose granting perks to retired government officials, an event that Au helped to organise. One pro-establishment Macau lawmaker told a newspaper in 2020 that the city was threat-free, as shown by the fact that the 'national security law had never been used… in 11 years'. But when Beijing cracked down on Hong Kong after months of huge and sometimes violent pro-democracy protests in 2019, similar curbs were extended to Macau. The casino hub expanded the scope of national security laws in May 2023, which officials said was meant to step up prevention of foreign interference. Former top judge Sam Hou Fai became Macau's leader in December after a one-horse race. City officials this month disqualified 12 candidates from the legislative elections set for September, saying they did not uphold Macau's mini-constitution or pledge allegiance to the city. The dozen hopefuls include sitting lawmaker Ron Lam, who said last week that the grounds for barring him were 'ridiculous'.
