A former Apple Daily senior executive jailed for national security offences in Hong Kong has lodged an appeal against his 10-year term, the first in a landmark trial that saw the founder of the now-defunct tabloid-style newspaper sentenced to 20 years in prison. Court documents reviewed by the South China Morning Post on Tuesday showed that Fung Wai-kong, former managing editor of Apple Daily’s English edition, had filed his appeal with the city’s High Court on Monday. Fung was sentenced to 10 years in prison for conspiracy to commit collusion with foreign forces last month. Advertisement The verdict was delivered by a panel of three judges who also handed down penalties to former media boss and Apple Daily owner Jimmy Lai Chee-ying, six senior executives of the newspaper, three firms associated with the now-defunct outlet and two activists. Fung Wai-kong leaves the force’s headquarters in Wan Chai in June 2021.

Key Points Domino's continues to report growing sales and profits. It's the leader in a resilient space. It pays a reliable dividend. 10 stocks we like better than Domino's Pizza › Warren Buffett is no longer the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, but the company just released its latest 13F filing detailing the last trades under his leadership. There were few trades and only one new position. Although Buffett maintained Berkshire's position in Alphabet, he pared down its positions in the other artificial intelligence (AI) stocks in the portfolio, Apple and Amazon. Apple is still the largest position in the portfolio at 19.5%, but that's a far cry from the 50% it had reached a few years ago. Amazon was always a small position, and now it's even smaller. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » Buffett added to a few other positions, including a relatively new stake in Domino's Pizza (NASDAQ: DPZ). Berkshire added 368,055 new shares worth $109 billion, a 12% increase from last quarter. Domino's is a stock that's right up Buffett's alley. But it took him years to buy it, and there may be another reason it's looking good right now. The leading global pizza shop chain Domino's is the largest pizza shop chain in the world, with 22,000 global stores. It's always opening new ones, too, including 392 net new stores in the fiscal 2025 fourth quarter (ended Dec. 28, 2025). Buffett loves an industry leader, especially in an area that will always have a place in the economy and that's resilient. It's the pizza version of an Apple or an American Express. That's what's playing out today. Despite stubborn inflation and changing technological trends, people all over the world continue to buy pizza. In the fourth quarter, global retail sales increased 4.9% year over year (currency neutral), and comparable sales wer...
