HKBU Survey Finds Over 3 in 4 Hong Kongers View Climate Change “Fake News” as a Significant Threat

HKBU Fact Check Hosts Exhibition to Raise Public’s Science Information Literacy HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 16 May 2025 – Climate change remains a pressing global issue, but misinformation obscures public understanding. A survey conducted by HKBU Fact Check under Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) showed that over 3 in 4 (over 75%) of the respondents in Hong Kong consider climate change misinformation a “very serious” to “extremely serious” challenge, while nearly 25% of respondents hold misconceptions, for example, “cold waves disprove climate change,” “climate change is purely a natural process and unrelated to human activity,” and “(possessing) a sense of fatalism, with some believing that humanity has already missed the chance to address climate disasters and should continue burning fossil fuels.” The latest exhibition by HKBU Fact Check, titled “Is Climate Change a Genuine Phenomenon?”, addresses public misconceptions about climate change and delves into the typical narrative traps of climate change misinformation. It also shares tips for validating facts with a fact-checking mindset and skills, offering various ways for the public to understand how to identify and debunk scientific misinformation and promote information literacy. Professor Stephanie Jean TSANG, Assistant Professor in the Department of Communication Studies, School of Communication, HKBU and Director of HKBU Fact Check, conducted an online survey with 1,600 local residents in Hong Kong at the end of last year. The survey found that when the term “global warming” is mentioned, Hong Kongers associate it with concepts such as the greenhouse effect, glacial melting, and sea-level rise. While these terms are frequently mentioned in the “climate change” discourse, they are not commonly experienced in Hong Kong, reflecting that public understanding of “climate change” is not derived from personal experiences from everyday lives but rather from information received through various channels. Professor Tsang said: “Public understanding and stance on climate issues are significantly shaped by the information channels they access. Therefore, there is an urgent need in the field of science communication to strengthen the analysis of mechanisms for misinformation dissemination and to thoroughly examine its potential impacts on public perception. In today’s digital age, online platforms have become one of the primary contexts for the public to acquire scientific knowledge. This makes enhancing scientific information literacy and critical thinking skills a crucial component in fostering rational social discussion. This is exactly the core purpose of our exhibition, ‘Is Climate Change a Genuine Phenomenon?’.” HKBU Fact Check’s Exhibition “Is Climate Change a Genuine Phenomenon?” Cultivates Information Literacy To enhance the public’s information literacy to discern climate change information and combat misinformation, HKBU Fact Check hosts a groundbreaking science information literacy exhibition titled “Is Climate Change a Genuine Phenomenon?” from now until 22nd May. The exhibition deconstructs common public misconceptions about climate change and delves into the typical narrative traps of climate change misinformation, and shares tips to validate true facts with a fact-checking mindset and skills, offering various ways for the public to understand how to identify and debunk scientific misinformation. The exhibition invites attendees to explore a range of topics, including the distinction between “weather” and “climate” and the implications of a “once-in-a-century” rainstorm. By adopting a transdisciplinary approach that integrates public health and environmental science, participants can deepen their understanding of the facts related to climate change. In addition, the exhibition showcases fact-checking cases by HKBU Fact Check, which address climate issues such as verifying changes in the status of Antarctic sea ice through satellite data and debunking data manipulation tactics prevalent in “climate hoax” theories. Professor ZHONG Bu, Dean of the School of Communication at HKBU, said: “In an era where information is abundant yet often misleading, comprehensive information literacy education is crucial in combating the spread of misinformation. For the past five years, HKBU Fact Check, an independently operated unit of the School of Communication, has been at the forefront of this battle. Our commitment to truth empowers the public by providing free fact-checking services, enhanced by cutting-edge artificial intelligence to streamline our efforts. Together, we are not just fighting misinformation; we are fostering a more informed society.” HKBU Fact Check ‘Is Climate Change a Genuine Phenomenon?’ Exhibition Details: Venue: Koo Ming Kown Exhibition Gallery, Lee Shau Kee Communication and Visual Arts Building, HKBU (5 Hereford Road, Kowloon Tong, Hong Kong) Date: 9th – 22nd May 2025 Time: 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM (Free Admission – Registration Required) Details: Please visit Website HKBU Fact Check’s exhibition, “Is Climate Change a Genuine Phenomenon?”, opens to the public at the Koo Ming Kown Exhibition Gallery, located on the ground floor of the Communication and Visual Arts Building at Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) from now until 22nd May 2025.

Vietnam’s VinFast Rides the Green Wave into the Gulf

VinFast, Vietnam’s electric vehicle champion, is steering into the Gulf with ambition and pride, transforming the nation’s global image from factory floor to innovation force. HANOI, VIETNAM- Media OutReach Newswire – 16 May 2025 – Ford means America. Toyota means Japan. And now VinFast – a name unfamiliar to most Westerners just 8 years ago – is becoming synonymous with Vietnam. The automaker, born from the Vingroup conglomerate, isn’t just selling cars. It’s selling a new image of a nation long associated with rice farmers, poverty, and war. VinFast EV manufacturing complex in Hai Phong, Vietnam From its start as a gasoline car manufacturer primarily serving Vietnam, VinFast has quickly evolved into a global electric vehicle (EV) brand. Its journey from domestic assembly lines to international presence unfolded at remarkable speed, establishing footholds in North America, Europe, and Asia within just a few years. On a recent day in May, VinFast signed new dealer agreements with ASTRADA SIMVA in France and Schachtschneider Automobile in Germany, respectively. While the news are are not big per se, the significance runs deeper than business headlines suggest. Each VinFast dealership opening represents Vietnam planting a flag in markets once exclusively dominated by German engineering, American muscle, and Japanese reliability. “We are proud to partner with VinFast, standing alongside this Vietnamese brand in driving the global green revolution,” said Renzo Schachtschneider, owner of Schachtschneider Automobile, which will operate three new dealerships[1]. VinFast’s European push follows similar moves across North America and Asia, but it doesn’t merely want to be a passive participant in the EV transition. Increasingly, developing countries, particularly in Southeast Asia, where the VinFast dream was born, want to embed themselves deep into the EV supply chain. This audacity signals a shift in how Vietnam positions itself in the international order, from manufacturing hub to innovation source. Countries have long used commercial brands as extensions of national identity. South Korea leveraged Samsung to reshape global perceptions. Japan did the same with Sony decades earlier. Vietnam’s strategy through VinFast follows this playbook while writing its own chapter. The road isn’t smooth. EV demand fluctuates. Competition is fierce. Yet the company’s willingness to adapt, shifting toward a dealership sales model globally and entering untapped markets like the Middle East and India, reflects a distinctly Vietnamese resilience. The Middle East entry is particularly telling. These are markets with deep pockets and high standards, where luxury European brands have long dominated. VinFast’s move into this territory shows confidence not just in its vehicles but in the “Made in Vietnam” identity they carry. But even more than that, governments in the region are increasingly paying attention to clean mobility solutions and green industrial partnerships, with initiatives to bring about a sustainable future like Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 or the UAE’s Net Zero 2050 Strategy. These national agendas create fertile ground for a new player like VinFast, one that offers not just electric vehicles, but also the chance for diversification beyond traditional Western and Chinese sources. In stores from Germany to Dubai, VinFast is reshaping perceptions one test drive at a time. Vietnam is no longer just a vacation destination or manufacturing location; rather, it’s the home of a company bold enough to challenge automotive giants on their home turf. The vehicles carry passengers, but they also carry Vietnam’s story into the world.

Trading Amid Turbulence: Octa Broker’s Guide to Navigating High-Volatility News Cycles

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 16 May 2025 – Today, financial markets no longer dance solely to the rhythm of macroeconomic data releases. Instead, they often lurch or rally in response to an offhand remark from a political leader or an abrupt policy tweet. Nowhere is this more evident than in recent weeks, where headlines—not spreadsheets—have dominated market momentum. Traditional indicators like inflation figures or Purchasing Managers Indices (PMIs) still carry weight, but traders should also read between the headlines and act on the fly. Octa Broker provides examples of how news affects the market and what events are worth monitoring. The Historical Impact of News on Markets Market-shocking news is nothing new. Arguably, one of the most infamous examples occurred on 15 January 2015, when the Swiss National Bank unexpectedly eliminated its currency ceiling against the euro. Within seconds, the EUR/CHF pair plummeted by nearly 30%, wiping billions from the forex markets and sending shockwaves around global financial institutions. This historical context matters. It reminds that both scheduled and unscheduled news can have outsized impacts on market pricing, especially when market participants are caught off guard. Scheduled vs. Unscheduled News Events Scheduled news events, by their nature, offer predictability. Reports such as the Consumer Price Index (CPI), labour market data, PMIs, and central bank meetings are calendar fixtures. Their importance, however, varies depending on the issuing country. The United States is a leader in terms of influence. As the issuer of the global reserve currency, U.S. economic data has global ramifications. An example is the U.S. CPI reading, which not only shifts USD pairs but, often, equity indexes and commodities. The Bureau of Labor Statistics releases these reports monthly. PMI reports, often early indicators of economic health, are published by S&P Global on a harmonised schedule across major economies. Central bank meeting dates, while known in advance, still generate high volatility due to surprise rate decisions or hawkish/dovish commentary. Federal Reserve (Fed) meetings can be tracked here, and the European Central Bank’s (ECB) schedule is also available on the institution’s website. In contrast, unscheduled news events are unpredictable and often far more dramatic in terms of market impact. These include geopolitical tensions, unexpected policy announcements, or political rhetoric. On 1 February 2025, President Trump’s sudden announcement of comprehensive tariffs on Canadian imports pushed USD/CAD to record multi-decade highs. The Surge of Unscheduled News in Recent Times April 2025 exemplified how chaotic unscheduled news can become. In early April, shifting U.S. tariff policies caused sharp moves in equity markets. Major indices dropped into correction territory but later recovered after revised statements. Then, in early May, mixed job data added to the uncertainty, offering little clarity on what to expect next. Current News Events Influencing the Markets Several unscheduled narratives are currently steering sentiment: Trade negotiations between the U.S. and China are ongoing, with some progress achieved, but uncertainty continues to linger as to whether an acceptable and long-lasting agreement can be achieved within a 90-day deadline. President Trump’s public critique of Fed Chair Jerome Powell continues to inject uncertainty into the monetary policy outlook. Meanwhile, the U.S. remains involved—albeit hesitantly—in peace talks between Ukraine and Russia. Trade discussions with Japan have also become strained, with little progress reported thus far. Strategies for Traders During High-Volatility News Cycles In this news-saturated environment, adaptability is key. Traders can navigate volatility with the following strategies: Use smaller position sizes to limit exposure. Apply tighter stop-loss orders to protect against sudden swings. Opt for short-term trades to reduce the risk of overnight event surprises. Avoid overly volatile assets unless accompanied by clear signals or hedges. Kar Yong Ang, a financial market analyst at Octa Broker, notes: ‘With news-driven and unexpected volatilities driving trading in our current setting, traders must become more reactive and less anticipatory in their strategies. Do not try to front-run and second-guess the outcome of this or that event. Instead, wait for the dust to settle and then enter the market. Position sizing should reflect the current volatility regime, ideally calculated through dynamic risk metrics like ATR (Average True Range). Most importantly, traders should maintain a structured news-monitoring routine and understand the second-order effects of headlines—for example, how a tariff announcement may ripple through commodities, currencies, and interest rate expectations simultaneously.’ Scheduled economic releases still matter, but unscheduled news—particularly in the current politically charged global climate—has emerged as the primary driver of market sentiment. The line between economic and political news continues to blur, and with it, the predictability of price action. For traders, this means one thing above all: stay flexible, stay informed, and adjust strategies to match the new reality. ___ Disclaimer: This content is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute investment advice, a recommendation, or an offer to engage in any investment activity.

The 2025 PEA showcases the potential to produce 273,000 ounces of gold annually over 19 years, with peak production of 325,000 ounces. We believe the 2025 PEA delivers compelling economics with defensible capital and operating cost estimates. We designed the conceptual mine plan to maximize the output, which we believe is the best path to advance the Project and deliver long-term value. Furthermore, it is also our view that the geological environment hosting the Project continues along strike and at depth with solid upside potential for exploration. We believe this mine plan represents a strong foundation for a project with meaningful potential to grow in size, scale, and conceptual mine life.” “The 2025 MRE and 2025 PEA represent major advancements for Tower. We rebuilt the geological model from first principles, integrating detailed structural and lithological data to better represent the gold mineralization. Our disciplined approach has strengthened the 2025 MRE, increasing confidence and credibility, while laying the groundwork for more targeted and efficient future drilling. The Tower deposits remain open at depth and along strike to the west and east, with strong potential for expansion. In tandem, the mine plan was also developed using a comprehensive, bottom-up approach grounded in first principles, delivering a technically robust and executable strategy. Opportunities to grow the known mineralization, optimize the mine plan, and enhance project economics will continue to be pursued aggressively. Pre-Feasibility Study work is underway, with completion targeted for 2027. In parallel, we are advancing permitting efforts to potentially bring Tower to shovel-ready status by 2029. We believe Tower is one of a select group of large-scale gold projects in Ontario with a clear path to development in the foreseeable future.” Construction and Development Plan Located 100 km east of Timmins, Ontario, along Highway 101, the Project benefits from proximity to existing regional infrastructure, including paved highways, power distribution, and local supply chains. Its proximity to Timmins, Kirkland Lake, and Matheson, provides access to a skilled and experienced labour pool. The construction plan focuses initially on the development of the OP deposits, supported by the installation of key surface infrastructure, including a processing plant, tailings management facility (“TMF“), and other essential site services. The construction phase will be executed under an Integrated Project Management Team (“IPMT“) model over a 30-month period. Pre-production activities will begin in month 24, with first gold production expected during the subsequent 6-month commissioning and ramp-up phase. Stripping of overburden will commence at month 7, and OP mining operations will transition to a primarily owner-operated model upon the start of commercial production. Note that certain functions,

This year’s Heart of the Home Awards will feature several categories designed to appreciate individuals who consistently go above and beyond in their roles. These include: Helper of the Year – Awarded to domestic helpers who have demonstrated extraordinary commitment, professionalism, and a caring attitude toward the households they serve.

Character Trait Awards – Special awards that celebrate the core values of kindness, patience, integrity, and responsibility.

The judging panel comprises representatives from Eden Grace who carefully review each submission to ensure fair and heartfelt recognition. This approach supports Eden Grace’s belief that even the smallest efforts and quietest acts of kindness deserve acknowledgement. Fostering a Supportive and Uplifting Community As a long-term initiative, this annual award ceremony aligns closely with Eden Grace’s commitment to improving domestic work conditions and strengthening bonds within households. By honouring both helpers and employers, the agency affirms its vision of fostering mutual respect, trust, and care, essential ingredients for a happy and healthy home. Eden Grace’s spokesperson shared, “This annual award ceremony is our way of saying thank you. It’s about celebrating the heart behind the work, on both sides. We hope it inspires more households to cultivate meaningful relationships.” In line with its future plans, Eden Grace is also exploring the possibility of expanding the award categories in the coming years to better reflect the evolving roles and stories within the domestic employment community. These may include recognition for long-term service, cultural understanding, or mentorship between helpers. Beyond the awards, Eden Grace continues to provide ongoing support and training for maids to develop their skills and build fulfilling careers. The agency also educates employers on best practices in household management and ethical employment, reinforcing its role as a bridge-builder between both parties. At its core, the Heart of the Home Awards is a celebration of humanity, of people who care, who listen, and who support each other in the shared space they call home. “To all helpers and employers, thank you for making Singapore a more compassionate and harmonious place.

Hong Kong and Kuwait: Partnering for Success

Regional links enhanced and 24 bilateral accords reached HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 May 2025 – A delegation of more than 50 business leaders from Hong Kong and Mainland China, led by Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) John Lee, concluded a fruitful visit to Kuwait yesterday (May 14), reaching a raft of bilateral accords and paving the way for closer links between Hong Kong and Middle East. “We are here to better understand the opportunities of Kuwaiti business and investment. To explore how Hong Kong, Mainland China and Kuwait, working together, can create long-term mutual opportunities,” Mr Lee told nearly 300 local business leaders attending a luncheon themed “Partnering for Success – Hong Kong as a ‘Super Connector’ and ‘Super Value-Adder’”. At the luncheon, government departments, enterprises, and organisations from Hong Kong, Mainland China, and Kuwait exchanged and announced 24 memoranda of understanding (MOUs) and co-operation agreements, covering areas such as economy and trade, investment, financial services, technology, legal co-operation, cargo clearance and flow, aviation, post-secondary education and sports. These include a new MOU signed between the Airport Authority Hong Kong and Kuwait Airways, aimed at enhancing aviation connectivity between the two regions. HKSAR’s Chief Executive John Lee (third left) witnesses exchange of agreements reached between government departments, enterprises, and institutions from Hong Kong, Mainland China and Kuwait. Mr Lee further announced that, from today (May 15) the United Arab Emirates will grant Hong Kong 30-day visa-free access, while Oman will extend its visa-free period from 10 to 14 days. Hong Kong is exploring closer ties with the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), which includes Kuwait currently holding presidency. Mr Lee said the country wields significant influence in the region’s development. “Hong Kong’s trade with the GCC last year reached nearly US$20 billion, up 53 per cent over the past four years. And that robust growth is underpinned by our mutual will to advance trade ties,” Mr Lee said. “Indeed, our burgeoning trade and investment co-operation, I believe, could well add momentum to the possibility of a free trade agreement between Hong Kong and the GCC.” Earlier, (May 13) Mr Lee met with the Amir of the State of Kuwait, His Highness Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, Crown Prince His Highness Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Mubarak Al-Sabah, and Acting Prime Minister His Excellency Sheikh Fahad Yousuf Saud Al-Sabah, to exchange views on strengthening co-operation between Hong Kong and Kuwait including areas such as finance, trade, and innovation and technology. Mr Lee (left) meets Amir of the State of Kuwait His Highness Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah (right). Mr Lee highlighted that Hong Kong enjoys the advantage of connecting China with the world under the “one country, two systems” principle. He welcomed the Kuwaiti Government and enterprises to utilise Hong Kong’s role as a “super connector” and “super value-adder” to explore new opportunities under the Belt and Road Initiative for mutual benefit. The Chief Executive led delegation members on several company visits in Kuwait. These included Bukhamseen Group Holding Company, where he introduced Hong Kong’s development opportunities and its highly internationalised and market-oriented business environment with its pool of professional services talent. Mr Lee and the delegation also visited Zain Group, a major mobile telecommunications company, to learn about its business in innovative technologies and digital communications, and exchange views on topics such as drones, AI, and smart city development. Mr Lee (second right) visits the Sheikh Abdullah Al Salem Cultural Centre in Kuwait. On the cultural front, Mr Lee toured the Sheikh Abdullah Al Salem Cultural Centre to learn about Kuwait’s arts and culture projects and developments. He noted that both Hong Kong and Kuwait place importance on arts and culture development, and he said he looks forward to further deepening connections and co-operation in cultural exchanges between the two places.

Zeagoo Europe’s Mother’s Day Campaign Enters Final Days – Celebrate Confidence with Fashion

BERLIN, GERMANY – Media OutReach Newswire – 15 May 2025 – Zeagoo Europe’s Mother’s Day campaign, themed “Unwrap Confidence – A Present to You,” is now in its final stretch, running through May 20. This campaign encourages mothers to take the occasion as a moment for themselves—not just to receive gifts, but to choose one for their own well-being. Rather than focusing on traditional celebrations, Zeagoo highlights the importance of self-confidence and everyday self-respect. This year’s campaign speaks directly to the heart of what Mother’s Day represents—gratitude, strength, and care—not just for others, but for oneself. In a world where mothers are often expected to give endlessly, Zeagoo shifts the narrative. The message is simple: “Thank you, Mom. Now it’s your turn.” Fashion Meets Empowerment For this year’s Mother’s Day campaign, Zeagoo has selected a collection of versatile, summer-ready wardrobe staples designed to balance style, comfort, and affordability. The curated range includes dresses, blouses, and tops—all available at discounted prices during Mother’s Day promotion. For casual outings, travel, or warm-weather days, the Zeagoo Summer Dress Women’s Round Neck T-Shirt Dress and the Zeagoo Women’s Elegant V-Neck Summer Dress offer breathable fabrics, flattering cuts, and thoughtful details like pockets and ruffle sleeves—ideal for comfort and style in one. For versatile everyday wear, the Zeagoo Women’s Summer V-Neck T-Shirt Blouse and the Zeagoo Women’s Batwing Chiffon Blouse provide lightweight coverage and relaxed silhouettes, making them suitable for both work and weekend settings. For layering or effortless street style, the Zeagoo Women’s Basic Long Sleeve Y2K Crop Top and the Zeagoo Women’s Summer Spaghetti Strap Tank Top deliver flexible fits in soft, breathable materials—perfect for mixing into both casual and trend-focused looks. These pieces are designed not just to dress well, but to support women in feeling confident and comfortable wherever the day takes them. This campaign repositions the idea of gifting not as a gesture of thanks to mothers as passive recipients, but recognizes their multifaceted identities. It honors mothers not only in their caregiving roles, but also as individuals with their own ambitions, styles, and needs. By offering versatile, comfortable, and confidently designed clothing, the campaign supports mothers in reclaiming space for themselves. The true gift is not the product itself, but the affirmation of their whole selves. Hashtag: #Zeagoo The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.
