A Cry Memorialized
Hong Kong photojournalist Tyrone Siu has won a regional World Press Photo award for an image capturing a man’s final moments of contact with his wife, who would perish in Hong Kong’s deadliest fire in nearly eight decades.

On September 18, 2025, the state-run Guangxi Radio and Television (廣西廣播電視台) and Hong Kong public broadcaster Radio Television Hong Kong (香港電台) signed a strategic memorandum of understanding regarding “program resources and talent exchange.” Held at the Nanning International Convention and Exhibition Center (南寧國際會展中心) during the 22nd China-ASEAN Expo (中國—東盟博覽會), the deal aimed to “tell China’s story well” to ASEAN nations, according to state media reports. This move directly echoed official external propaganda policies of the Chinese Communist Party leadership. The signing was witnessed by the National Radio and Television Administration (國家廣播電視總局), an agency under the Central Propaganda Department. This partnership sought to bolster media synergy between Guangxi and the Greater Bay Area, leveraging regional advantages to enhance cross-border cooperation and drive high-quality media development across the Southeast Asian region.
