A balanced diet benefits everyone, but it is especially important for the neurodiverse community, according to Love 21 Foundation, a Hong Kong charity dedicated to improving their physical and mental health. The foundation is one of 13 NGOs selected to receive funding from this year’s Operation Santa Claus (OSC) charity campaign. With its second consecutive year of support for a three-year funded project, the charity will be able to continue offering personalised nutrition plans and tailored fitness training to help around 100 of its members each year who have Down syndrome, autism, or other neurodiverse conditions. Advertisement People with Down syndrome have a slower metabolism, putting them at higher risk of gaining weight. Autistic people, meanwhile, tend to have elevated levels of uric acid in their blood, which can lead to gout or kidney stones. They were especially in need of advice on food choices and portion sizes, according to Matthew Fung Kwan-kit, Love 21’s dietitian.

China’s most senior general is under investigation, China’s defence ministry has confirmed, in the highest profile case to date in an aggressive anti-graft purge of senior military leadership in recent months. Zhang Youxia serves as second-in-command under president Xi Jinping as vice-chairman of the Central Military Commission – the supreme command body – and has long been seen as Xi’s closest military ally. The ministry announced on Saturday that Zhang and Liu Zhenli, chief of staff of the CMC’s joint staff department, were under investigation for suspected serious violations of discipline and law. The Wall Street Journal reported that Zhang was accused of leaking information about the country’s nuclear-weapons program to the US, and accepting bribes for official acts, including the promotion of an officer to defence minister, citing people familiar with a high-level briefing on the allegations. The Guardian was unable to independently verify the reports. Zhang is also a member of the elite politburo of the ruling Communist party and is one of just a few leading officers with combat experience. The military was one of the main targets of a broad corruption crackdown ordered by Xi in 2012. That drive reached the upper echelons of the People’s Liberation Army in 2023 when the elite Rocket Force was targeted. Zhang’s removal is the second of a sitting general on the Central Military Commission since the 1966-76 Cultural Revolution. He has not been seen in public since 20 November, when he held talks with Russia’s defence minister in Moscow. Foreign diplomats and security analysts are watching developments closely, given Zhang’s closeness to Xi and the importance of the commission’s work in terms of command as well as the PLA’s ongoing military modernisation and posture. While China has not fought a war in decades, it is taking an increasingly muscular line in the disputed East China Sea and South China Sea, as well as over the self-ruled island of Taiwan, which is cl...
