Keeping up with the local news

In the past 2 years I have read significantly more that I used to do. I have read several books on China; a book about India’s economy and magazines like Business Week and the Economist. Every time I travel somewhere I devour the local English newspapers. I find it very fascinating to see what they talk about. Economic news, politics, featured stories, they tell a lot about what local people are preoccupied with.

So in Hong Kong I read Wall Street Journal Asia, South China morning Post, and another Honk Kong news paper. The hot news of the day is about PCCW, the Hong Kong telecom unsuccessful attempt to sell 24% of its share to foreign investors. A lot of other stories about Mobile phone explosion in China and ITU conference.
