On Tuesday, Hong Kong’s chief executive John Lee said that it will scrap its Covid-19 mask mandate from March 1.
According to a Bloomberg report, this will bring an end to one of the world's longest mask mandates and comes 945 days after the stringent rules were first imposed in the financial hub.
The government's move is meant to lure back visitors and business and restore normal life to the region.

A new NCRI survey reveals disturbing levels of support for political violence in the U.S., with 55% of left-leaning Americans saying Trump’s assassination could be justified. Elon Musk isn’t far behind, as nearly half express similar sentiments toward him. Over 57% even support attacking Tesla dealerships. NCRI warns of a rising “assassination culture” fueled by far-left ideology. Meanwhile, support grows online for Luigi Mangione, a Murder suspect now seen by some as a vigilante folk hero.

The US tariff impact is sending shockwaves across global markets, with India and other Asian giants facing new trade barriers. Robinder Nath Sachdev, a Foreign Affairs Expert, explains how Trump’s move is aimed at securing voter confidence and fulfilling his promises. While some nations may retaliate, India may have little reason to do so. Will these tariffs boost Trump’s domestic standing, or will they backfire? Oneindia’s Pankaj Mishra speaks with Sachdev to break it down.

A top Chinese official has blasted President Trump’s Hong Kong tariffs, calling them “arrogant and shameless.” Xia Baolong, director of the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office, further mocked the U.S. by referring to Americans as “peasants,” warning of a backlash against Trump’s trade war tactics. The insult follows a heated exchange after U.S. VP J.D. Vance’s earlier comment on China. As tensions rise, both countries have unleashed new tariffs, escalating the economic war with global consequences. Will diplomacy return—or will this spiral into chaos?

Amid intensifying trade tensions with the U.S., China has cut its crude oil imports from Washington by 90%, turning instead to Canada as a key supplier. Bloomberg reports record shipments from Canada's Pacific coast, powered by the Trans Mountain Expansion pipeline. China’s strategic shift aims to diversify energy sources away from American, Russian, and Middle Eastern dependence. This marks a major realignment in global oil trade, with implications for U.S. exports and geopolitical leverage. Meanwhile, Russia and Saudi Arabia remain China's top oil partners, but Canada's role is growing fast.
