US-China trade deal clues, Emirates flight diverted to Taiwan: SCMP daily highlights
subscribing
The US-China deal under negotiation is likely to bear similarities to the phase one trade agreement from Donald Trump's first term, according to a former senior official in that administration – offering clues to what the highly anticipated pact may look like just weeks before a trade truce between the two rival economies is set to expire.
Beijing has set aside major disputes with Canberra and instead filled Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's six-day visit to China this week with a slew of trade and investment deals, a move analysts said was an effort to find common ground amid trade tensions with the United States.

An Emirates flight from Dubai to Hong Kong was unexpectedly rerouted to Taiwan on Monday after multiple unsuccessful attempts to land, reportedly because of wind conditions.

Hong Kong officials to discuss adjusting basketball betting limits with Jockey Club
Hong Kong authorities are planning to engage the Jockey Club for discussions on adjusting the maximum betting limits for basketball to provide a regulated channel for such activities, as the government moves to legalise wagering for the sport. Secretary for Home and Youth Affairs Alice Mak Mei-kuen said on Saturday that lawmakers previously suggested the government review the maximum wagers for basketball as they scrutinised the Betting Duty (Amendment) Bill 2025. She said the Jockey Club, which is set to become the sole licensed basketball betting operator, currently had limited wagers for legal offerings for other sports. Horse racing and football bets are capped at HK$50,000 (US$6,370) per individual wager. Each betting account has a daily total stake limit of HK$500,000. 'The bill provides a legal framework under which the home and youth affairs chief is empowered to issue licences for betting activities. When these licences are issued, licensing conditions can be included,' she told a radio programme. 'We will later discuss with the Jockey Club to assess the technical feasibility and how to handle it so that we can provide a regulated and limited channel for betting, and the public will engage in controlled gambling.'

Africa looks to China as ‘beneficial partner' while US imposes tariffs, aid and visa cuts
The United States is losing ground to China for influence in Africa , according to analysts, as Beijing's expansive trade policies and economic engagement outpace Washington's increasingly restrictive approach. Advertisement The assessment came after China announced last month it would expand duty-free access for all taxable products for 53 African countries – all except Eswatini. Beijing's move stands in stark contrast to Washington's levying of trade tariffs, aid cuts and restrictive visa measures. The policy comes amid US threats to cut foreign aid by closing down USAID and imposing visa restrictions on countries including Cameroon, Ethiopia, Ghana, Nigeria and Somalia. From August 1, the US also plans to impose higher reciprocal tariffs on imports from nations such as Algeria, Libya, South Africa and Tunisia. Observers said the duty-free plan was a major narrative win for China. The move is likely to further endear Beijing to African nations, which are increasingly viewing China as a more reliable and beneficial partner. Cameron Hudson, a former US official and senior associate with the Africa programme at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, said what was more troubling was that Washington had long believed its aid and humanitarian help to Africa would buy it the goodwill to be able to pursue whatever policies it wanted, no matter the consequences. Advertisement But this had not been the case for a long time, he noted.

UK slams fresh Hong Kong bounties on activists as ‘transnational repression'
Britain has hit out at Hong Kong's move to place a new round of bounties on 15 overseas activists accused of national security offences, saying it is another example of 'transnational repression' that only damages the city's international reputation. Advertisement UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy and Home Secretary Yvette Cooper also stressed on Friday that Britain was committed to the safety of all individuals settled there and had taken steps to 'complete the severing of ties' between the extradition systems of the country and Hong Kong. 'This government will continue to stand with the people of Hong Kong, including those who have made the UK their home. We take the protection of their rights, freedoms, and safety very seriously, and will not tolerate any attempts by foreign governments to coerce, intimidate, harass, or harm their critics overseas,' Lammy and Cooper said. The joint statement by the two senior British officials was made hours after the city's national security police placed the bounties on the 15 activists and issued new arrest warrants against four more, over their involvement in the 'Hong Kong Parliament', a group deemed as subversive by authorities. A bounty of HK$200,000 was placed on each of the 15 activists listed in the latest announcement, as police accused those behind the group of violating the Beijing-decreed national security law by attempting to unlawfully overthrow and undermine the constitutional system, and Chinese and Hong Kong authorities. Advertisement Some of them are reportedly based in the UK, Canada and Taiwan.
