Hi, my name is WANLIKHANG

China has a vast and varied media industry. Opinions among writers differ greatly. The media is supervised in ways that seem offensive to Western countries. Yet Chinese journalists comment on and criticise officials as they do everywhere. They are keenly observant of Western media. Our news investigator reviews every week some of the authoritative news sources in China to find stories that might interest our readers.

China, also known as the People's Republic of China, is a country with thousands of years of rich cultural history and heritage. From the Great Wall of China to the Silk Road, from the dynastic rule of the emperors to the creation of the communist state, China's journey is filled with an exciting combination of cultural and historical events. In this section we will delve into the development of Chinese culture, history and its relationship with the world.

As a former corporate citizen, Wan Lik Hang knows and understands the issues that businesses face. Our particular interest is the interface between what is happening in society as a whole and businesses. Education, for example, is critical to both society and business. How our brains work impacts leadership styles and behaviours. Social trends, like the rich-poor gap, have an impact on how citizens view business. Our balanced posts shed light on these and other topics to provide food for thought.

Under ‘Lifestyle’ we have covered a wide range of topics, from child abuse to electric vehicles, from aging to COVID, from teaching to how our brains work. Our ideas come from a wide range of sources, are topical and challenging and thought provoking..

Hong Kong has rarely left world headlines since China ceded it to Britain in 1843 having been defeated in the first Opium war. Now one of the world’s three premier financial centres, the UK handed Hong Kong back to China in 1997. Hong Kong vividly illustrates the clash between Chinese values and governance and those of the West. ‘The Reasonable Man’ sees the arguments on both sides. At the heart of it all are different cultures.

Nearly everything we do today has a hi-tech aspect. Electric vehicles (EV’s), 5G, the Internet of Things are just a few of the topics to which we need to pay attention. More sinister are cyber fraud, ransomware and crimes that were unheard of as little as 20 years ago. We write about the impact of these trends on our lives. How does Facebook seduce us to spend our time for their advertisers’ profit? How do criminals trap the unwary into giving away access to their bank accounts? Why are EV’s the future of personal transportation?

Geo-politics, crowd behaviour, the effect of colonisation on our lives today: these are topics that affect us all no matter where we live. With a mix of philosophy, psychology, and practical analysis, we try to explain topical issues with balance, and pragmatism. If you can understand why something is happening, you have a better chance of accepting and dealing with it.
