HONG KONG: Hong Kong-American actor Philip Ng, known to many as the ex-boyfriend of former TVB star Linda Chung, has publicly confirmed he has found love again.

Art Hong Kong Expo: Cultural leaders rally to promote HK's global hub vision
In this file photo dated Dec 19, 2024, artists from Guizhou province perform folk dances during the 'Night of Colorful Guizhou' session at the second Art Hong Kong Expo. - Provided to China Daily HONG KONG: Hong Kong enjoys ample strategic determination, as well as a global profile, together with enough policy and talent support to be a frontrunner of the future culture and creative industry, cultural pundits and government officials said on Friday (May 30). The remarks sparked ovations at a cross-boundary exchange session during a forum on Hong Kong's international cultural and creative industry, a highlight of the third edition of the Art Hong Kong Expo, which opened on Friday at AsiaWorld-Expo near the international airport. The four-day expo showcases the city's burgeoning culture and creative industries in a kaleidoscope of themes, ranging from cultural industry integration, digital cultural tourism, and low-altitude economy, to gaming and e-sports, digital creativity, international culture, Hong Kong-mainland culture exchange, intangible cultural heritage, and national trend cultural creativity. Addressing the forum, Raistlin Lau Chun, Hong Kong's undersecretary for culture, sports and tourism, underscored the city's resolve to elevate local characteristic brands such as 'Hong Kong Culture', 'Hong Kong Design' and 'Hong Kong Manufacturing', while strengthening ties with the Chinese mainland and international industry to help step up Hong Kong industrial players' influence in broader markets. 'My bureau will work hand-in-hand with the industry, leveraging government resources to better support creative projects that exhibit big industrial potential,' noted Lau. Recognising creative industries as the city's new economic booster, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government promulgated the Blueprint for Arts and Culture and Creative Industries Development in 2024, aiming to turbocharge the city's establishment of a conducive industry ecosystem and as a platform for international arts and cultural exchanges. Two dedicated government funding programmes — the Film Development Fund for moviemakers and the CreateSmart Initiative for other creative sectors — have respectively approved a cumulative total of over HK$1.3 billion ($165.7 million) and about $3.4 billion in funding that benefited more than 120 film projects and 30,000 enterprises since their establishment, according to the 2025-26 budget. Ding Wei, deputy general manager of the Bauhinia Culture Holdings Limited — the expo's advisor — highlighted Hong Kong's strategic strength as both a 'cultural reception room' for Chinese civilization to engage with the globe and a 'crucial pivot' where international creative resources converge. 'Hong Kong's highly open economic system, international financial platforms, and strong business networks, made it deeply integrated with the global creative ecosystem,' noted Ding. 'This is where Eastern and Western cultures interact and merge, where tradition and modernity shine in mutual glamour.' John Howkins, a leading mover in the global development of creative economies, who is also program leader and academic advisor at the University of Hong Kong's Institute for China Business, added an optimistic note. Hong Kong's greatest asset lies in its free flow of creative talents, said Howkins. He noted that true creativity thrives on free exchange of ideas, and being a regional transport hub with world-class universities offering high-quality programs in the field, Hong Kong is advantageously positioned to attract top faculty and students who can contribute to its creative landscape. - China Daily/ANN

Trump: No requests to pardon Sean 'Diddy' Combs, but will look at the facts
WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump said on Friday that no one has asked him to pardon Sean 'Diddy' Combs but that he would look at the facts of the hip-hop mogul's case. Trump's comments at a White House news conference came as Combs attended the 13th day of testimony in the rapper's criminal sex trafficking trial. The Bad Boy Records founder has pleaded not guilty to five felony counts of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. During a press conference at the White House, Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked Trump whether he would consider pardoning Combs, noting that the businessman-turned-politician said during a 2012 episode of his 'Celebrity Apprentice' reality show that he was friends with the rapper. 'Nobody's asked. You had to be the one to ask, Peter,' Trump said. 'I think some people have been very close to asking. First of all, I'd look at what's happening, and I haven't been watching it too closely although it's certainly getting a lot of coverage.' Since taking office on January 20, Trump has made extensive use of his power to pardon or commute the sentences of people accused of or convicted of federal crimes - a break with tradition as presidents normally wait until near the end of their terms before granting clemency. Trump, a Republican, said he had not seen or spoken to Combs in years. Combs could face life in prison if convicted on all counts. Also known throughout his career as Puff Daddy and P. Diddy, Combs is known for turning artists like Notorious B.I.G. and Mary J. Blige into stars. In the process, he elevated hip-hop in American culture and became a billionaire. The criminal charges filed last September, as well as dozens of civil lawsuits accusing Combs of sexual abuse, have left his reputation in tatters. Federal prosecutors in Manhattan say Combs over two decades coerced women to take part in drug-fueled sexual performances known as 'Freak Offs' with male sex workers. Two women have testified that Combs had raped them. Combs' lawyers have acknowledged that he was at times abusive in romantic relationships, but argued that the women who took part in 'Freak Offs' did so consensually.
