In the new Hollywood blockbuster Godzilla vs Kong, Hong Kong becomes the scene of an epic final battle against a monster that threatens to destroy the world. The skyscrapers of the city are reduced to rubble as King Kong slugs it out with the awoken colossus. Though the film wasn’t made by Hong Kong film-makers, it feels symbolic. In the week of its release, a sense of dread increased among the 7.5 million citizens of the territory, as they learned that the legal and governmental independence promised to them for 50 years after the handover of the prosperous British colony to China in 1997 was being dismantled ever more quickly.

April 1, 2021 GMT HONG KONG SAR -
Media OutReach– 1 April 2021 - A series of studies led by researchers from Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) have revealed that hyocholic acid and its derivatives (collectively known as HCAs), a component of bile acids that facilitate fat digestion, are a promising risk indicator of type 2 diabetes. The strong efficacy of HCAs in regulating blood glucose levels and protecting against diabetes has also been uncovered. The findings open a window for the development of HCA-based predictive markers as well as anti-diabetic drugs.
