节目介绍:Welcome to our 《Hong Kong Brief》 program, I am your host: Jenny. Today, we dive into some crucial updates affecting not just Hong Kong, but the whole Asian region! First up, the sudden halt of US humanitarian aid has raised eyebrows across Asia, with countries like Japan and Australia stepping in, but is it enough? The call for increased Asian contributions is louder than ever as we face a humanitarian crisis.

Next, we spotlight a heartwarming charity art auction dedicated to Bethune House, a refuge for domestic helpers in Hong Kong. With nearly 50 donated pieces up for grabs, this event aims to empower migrant workers and sustain vital services amidst dwindling donations. It’s a beautiful fusion of art and community support that you won’t want to miss!

Lastly, we discuss Panama’s decision to exit China’s Belt and Road Initiative, a move praised by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio as a significant step forward. This shift not only strengthens US-Panama relations but also raises questions about China’s growing influence in the region. Stay tuned as we explore these stories in more detail!
