As digital terminals and network services become increasingly integrated into the daily lives of minors, their access to digital services like live streaming and gaming has diversified, bringing concerns over issues like account borrowing, identity theft, and excessive spending in live-streaming environments. Professor Wang Zhu of Sichuan University's Law School argues that the protection of minors in live streaming should not center solely on "whether tips can be refunded," but should be examined within a holistic framework of preventing addiction to digital terminals and services, building a real-name digital identity system, strengthening family guardianship, improving platform governance, and coordinating judicial rules. Particularly when minors may borrow adult accounts to access digital services, relying solely on platform-side identification and post-hoc refund mechanisms remains insufficient to fundamentally solve the problem. Platforms must continuously improve identification, spending limits, and risk intervention measures, while also forming more stable and clear institutional arrangements at the level of digital identity origins and collaborative social governance.

The 'Northern Metropolis' development plan in Hong Kong, already written into China's '15th Five-Year Plan,' has seen lackluster interest from Hong Kong-based conglomerates despite multiple pushes from Beijing officials. Consequently, the first tender for a 'district development' project in the Northern Metropolis received only two bids, and the winner was a consortium composed of five Chinese state-owned enterprises and one Hong Kong developer, which secured the project for HK$1.03 billion (approximately €113 million). Commentators believe this may herald a new era of development in Hong Kong where Chinese capital takes the lead while Hong Kong capital takes a secondary role, reflecting a reversal in the relative importance of Chinese and Hong Kong consortiums in large-scale local development.
