Boosting Hong Kong into a global study and talent hub is not just a mission for the government and the tertiary education sector. The latest move by local secondary schools to lure overseas students in Southeast Asia is a proactive step in this regard.

"I'm Done": Robert Malone Exits CDC Vaccine Advisory Role Authored by Zachary Stieber via The Epoch Times, Dr. Robert Malone said on March 25 that he will no longer advise health officials on vaccines. “I’m done,” Malone told The Epoch Times. Malone was vice chair of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), which advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on immunizations. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. selected Malone and other new ACIP members in 2025, after removing the previous slate. A federal judge recently ruled that Kennedy did not follow proper procedure in appointing the members and stayed the appointments. The judge also blocked changes to the CDC vaccine schedule, some of which were prompted by votes from the remade ACIP. Malone, a former EpochTV host and an adjunct professor at Louisiana State University, has panned the decision, noting that the judge deemed him unfit even though he has decades of experience in the vaccine field. Malone said Wednesday that he had already been trying to figure out how to leave ACIP “in some sort of a graceful, professional way for months now,” in part because of criticism from health care groups over matters such as the ACIP vote to recommend the CDC narrow guidance for messenger ribonucleic acid and other vaccines against COVID-19. He is also focusing on working with the State Department on biological warfare agreements. Malone said that members, who do not receive compensation, have not been treated well by the Trump administration, pointing to how Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) spokesman Andrew Nixon responded after Malone publicized how officials allegedly told members they would be reconstituting ACIP rather than appeal the judge’s ruling. “I’m tired of thousands of hours of free labor for just chronic disrespect for all of us,” Malone said. The Epoch Times has requested a comment from HHS, the CDC’s parent agency, which Kennedy heads. Health Secretary Robert F. Ken...

Blackstone Inc. ’s Kenneth Caplan said he’s seeing low levels of defaults within his firm’s private credit portfolio as scrutiny grows amid ructions in the $1.8 trillion industry. “There is a big disconnect, I’d say, between the headlines and the news cycle and what we see in the portfolio,” Caplan, Blackstone’s co-chief investment officer, said at the Asia Pacific Financial and Innovation Symposium in Melbourne on Thursday. The firm’s portfolio still has “very low levels of default,” he added. Concerns have been bubbling in private credit markets this year, with investors spooked by the risk of technological disruptions and access to liquidity. Just this week, Ares Management Corp. and Apollo Global Management Inc. limited withdrawals from some funds to 5% of shares after clients sought to redeem even more. The world’s largest alternative asset managers are grappling with the skittishness about the industry’s lending practices and exposure to businesses vulnerable to artificial intelligence after fueling the private credit boom for years. The rapid pace of these requests has led to further questions about whether direct lending is suitable for investors who want occasional liquidity.

Blackstone has a long history of AI investments with a slew of data centers and infrastructure related to the technology boom. “It still feels like there’s more disruption to come,” he said. Other executives including Macquarie Group Ltd.’s Shemara Wikramanayake are expected to speak at the event later Thursday.
