Remove barriers to speed up Hong Kong's Northern Metropolis, Xia Baolong says
Beijing's point man on Hong Kong affairs has urged local authorities to speed up work on the Northern Metropolis megaproject by removing barriers while also safeguarding national security against the threat of 'soft resistance', according to the city's leader. Advertisement Seeing off Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office (HKMAO) director Xia Baolong at the border at the end of his five-day visit , Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu said on Sunday that the city was told to take advantage of the stability and safety brought by the national security law's implementation five years ago by boosting development and the economy. Xia, whose inspection trip marked the fifth anniversary of the Beijing-imposed law, had set out the future directions of the city's development during the trip, Lee said. The city leader added that Xia had reaffirmed his support for the administration's work. Xia also praised the work of community care teams, who helped needy households, and encouraged them by composing a poem for the carers, Lee said. 'Director Xia reminded us to continue safeguarding national security,' Lee told reporters at the Shenzhen Bay crossing after Xia's departure. 'The risks still exist especially when the geopolitical situation is complex, and we should always stay vigilant against soft resistance.

As political violence rises in the US, only Americans can save themselves
Law enforcement agencies empowered by the government to carry out the agenda of an ageing president eager to settle political scores. Politicians, media and judges facing harassment and even arrest by forces loyal to the president. A ruling party in lockstep with its autocratic leader, unwilling to challenge him amid a combination of ideological factors but also careerism. Police forces dispatched with emergency powers into strongholds of the political opposition. Politicians associated with the opposition party murdered. This situation describes not the United States of today but South Korea under its first president, Syngman Rhee. Following the Korean peninsula's liberation from decades of Japanese colonisation in 1945, the national division of 1948 and then the Korean war of 1950-53, the ostensibly democratic South Korea suffered from weak institutions and established norms. This, along with the ever-present threat of North Korea and communist infiltration, plus extensive US backing, allowed Rhee to turn the country's ruling Liberal Party into an organisation built almost entirely around loyalty to him. He could personally direct the country's internal security forces against threats to his position. Consequently, Rhee maintained tight control over the government for 12 years, even as the economy stagnated, his forces grew more brazen in their oppression and public discontent began to mount. These pressures finally boiled over in April 1960 when a massive uprising , led by young people unhappy with their still-dim economic prospects and Rhee loyalists' blatant election-rigging, marched on the capital, prompting a fatal police crackdown. This only stirred further outrage and protests, leading to a harsh reaction from the United States, South Korea's most important ally. Rhee quickly resigned and, though he had spent decades during Japanese colonisation as a brave, self-sacrificing advocate for his people's independence, is today largely remembered as a failed president and an autocrat, unworthy of being memorialised.

Thailand, Cambodia shut border crossings amid turmoil in Bangkok
Thailand and Cambodia shut several border crossings in tit-for-tat moves, ratcheting up tensions between the two Southeast Asian neighbours as Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra fights to save her government from a political crisis triggered by a leaked phone call over the weeks-long stand-off. The closure of a border crossing in northeastern Buri Ram province was effective from June 21, according to an order by the Thai army late on Saturday. Cambodia then retaliated with the permanent shutdown of the same passage as well as another checkpoint, according to Cambodian leader Hun Manet, who criticised the Thai army's move. The Thai army said it was its prerogative to restrict border movements to protect the country's sovereignty for national security reasons, as it's done since June 7. Relations between the two countries were tense after troops exchanged fire on May 28 in the disputed Chong Bok border area, resulting in the death of a Cambodian soldier. Both countries have massed troops along the frontier and closed or shortened the operational hours of several land crossings that act as vital trade links. Cambodia has sought to get the International Court of Justice in The Hague to help settle land disputes in Chong Bok and three other border areas with Thailand. That has angered Bangkok, which has said it does not recognise the court's jurisdiction.

Thailand needs to lift all restrictions first and Cambodia will do the same within five hours, he said. Support from coalition partners
