I am bouncing around The Asia Amusement & Attraction Expo 2026 (AAA) like a pinball in a vast pinball machine. Guangzhou is super-hot, and oversized air conditioners greet guests from across China and around the world like welcoming sentries. I wind my way inside to discover a dozen sprawling exhibition halls filled with the kinds of theme park bling one only expects to see out-of-doors: Spinning whirly gig rides, triple-decker bouncy castles, go-karts, a plus-sized Tyrannosaurus Rex and – I kid you not – two baby dinos in a suitcase.The look so very lifelike – their wee hearts beating and…

On 29 May 2026, the conviction of Ronson Chan Long-sing, a veteran journalist, former chairman of the Hong Kong Journalists Association and former deputy assignment editor at the now-defunct Stand News, for “obstructing a police officer” was upheld on appeal. He was sentenced to five days in prison, which he began serving immediately. Chan was initially arrested in September 2022 while covering a homeowners’ meeting at a residential estate in Hong Kong’s Mong Kok area for independent media Channel C, after the journalist questioned a plainclothes police officer who attempted to stop him from reporting, alleging Chan was acting “suspiciously.” The Hong Kong…
KL Rahul | Player of the Match: (Winning makes it so much sweeter) Yeah, of course it does. At the end of the day, we play the sport to win. After playing for so many years, numbers do matter. I mean, you’re happy that you score runs and you score these big runs and break records. But if you don’t get the W after the game, it’s not as much fun. (What did you have to do to make sure that the dressing room stayed in the right place and you stayed in the right place for the next one?)…
