Second Hong Kong school suspended over unauthorised courses aimed at mainland Chinese
Hong Kong education authorities have suspended a second private school in their crackdown on institutions collaborating with third-party agencies to help students from outside the city qualify for subsidised university programmes. The Education Bureau said on Monday that it was 'very seriously' looking into institutions that were allegedly collaborating with placement or tutoring agencies to operate 'shell schools', which helped students gain local status. The bureau said it had rejected the registration application for Inno Secondary School in Kowloon Tong on July 28. It is the second school that the bureau has suspended in similar circumstances in less than a week. Inno Secondary School principal Thomas Qi Wendi previously confirmed to media that the institution had been working with Shenzhen operators to recruit students and offer courses since July. But he said the school planned to cease the collaborations given the suspension order imposed on another institution accused of working with a mainland Chinese tutorial centre to offer the city's university entrance examination curriculum without registration. Inno Secondary School's proposed programme would allow children to study on the mainland before completing two final years in Hong Kong, where accommodation would be provided.

China feminist icon actress ‘sexy is fine, but objectification is not' speech resurfaces
Chinese television host and actress Liu Yan, who has long been seen as a sex symbol, has recently received plaudits for being a feminist. An interview with Liu gave in 2016 went viral recently in which she said she had stopped being sexy. 'I think being sexy is fine but objectification is not. The question is, do our times allow actresses, or women, to be sluts? I do not think I am allowed to be too sexy in these times. I do not want to be a woman that everyone thinks it is OK to harass,' Liu said. Liu Yan was 'discovered' as a model more than 20 years ago and has had a successful career in television.
