Beijing is censoring references on China's internet to the skyscraper that collapsed in Bangkok, as the Chinese company involved in the project faces mounting scrutiny in Thailand. The partially constructed tower, set to be the Thai government's State Audit Office, was the only high-rise building to completely crumble in Bangkok last Friday, after a magnitude-7.7 earthquake nearly 1,000 kilometres away in Myanmar shook the Thai capital.

5 hours agoBoth the data and my anecdotal experience over the decades show businesses don't fail for the reasons we always hear. It's something else entirely. We've all heard the U.S. Bureau of Labor stats: 20% of small businesses fail in the first twelve months, and 50% in the first five years. They're real …

Beijing has warned of a "crackdown" on random violent crimes in 2025, in the wake of a spate of mass attacks on the public in the final months of 2024. Experts say the government fears the attacks are undermining social stability with videos of the incidents being widely shared on Chinese social media before being censored. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP)warning came in a message issued on Christmas Day which outlined eight government priorities in the New Year period.

每日新鲜资讯，为您一网打尽！周一至周五ABC中文《头条》展阅愉快！今天是12月9日，星期一。 周日，叙利亚反政府武装以摧枯拉朽之势在毫无抵抗的情况下占领了首都大马士革。在长达13年的内战和其家族长达60年的专制统治之后，叙利亚总统巴沙尔·阿萨德（Bashar al-Assad）逃往俄罗斯。 “叙利亚总统阿萨德及其家人已抵达莫斯科。俄罗斯基于人道主义理由给予他们庇护，”私营的国际文传电讯社（Interfax news agency）和俄罗斯国有媒体援引克里姆林宫未具名消息人士的话说。 国际文传电讯社援引克里姆林宫同一消息人士的话说，俄罗斯赞成政治解决叙利亚危机，应在联合国主持下恢复谈判。莫斯科在叙利亚长期内战期间支持阿萨德。 阿萨德政府的垮台是中东数十年来最重要的转折点之一，意味着伊朗和俄罗斯在阿拉伯世界发挥影响力的堡垒不复存在。 阿萨德的倒台根源在于国内逊尼派的伊斯兰圣战，邻国土耳其也发挥了作用。 阿萨德政权结束后，将限制伊朗向其盟友提供武器支持的能力，并可能使俄罗斯失去其地中海的海军基地。但是分散在土耳其、黎巴嫩和约旦难民营十多年的数百万叙利亚难民可能最终可以返回家园。...

每日新鲜资讯，为您一网打尽！周一至周五ABC中文《头条》展阅愉快！今天是2024年11月28日，星期四。 今天的新闻提要： 以色列总理内塔尼亚胡表示，他将就国际刑事法院对他和他的前国防部长约阿夫·加兰特（Yoav Gallant）发出的逮捕令提出上诉。 上周国际刑事法院以危害人类罪和战争罪为由对内塔尼亚胡和加兰特发出了逮捕令。 国际刑事法院还对哈马斯仅存的领导人之一穆罕默德·戴夫（Mohammed Deif）发出了逮捕令，但以色列声称已在今年早些时候的空袭中将其击毙。 国际刑事法院检方指控内塔尼亚胡和加兰特负有刑事责任，两人“被指控的反人类罪是对加沙平民进行广泛且系统性攻击的一部分”，包括将饥饿作为战争手段。 内塔尼亚胡此前以“荒谬”和“反犹”为由拒绝接受逮捕令。 他于当地时间本周三表示将寻求对逮捕令提出上诉。 “以色列今天向国际刑事法院提交了一份通知，表示打算向法院提出上诉，同时要求推迟执行逮捕令，”内塔尼亚胡说。 自逮捕令发出以来，国际刑事法院的许多签约国政府都在讨论，如果内塔尼亚胡或加兰特访问他们的领土，是否会将其逮捕。...

A survey released this week by think-tank Asialink found 93 per cent of respondents believed their heritage had been a barrier to their success. Different to the "glass ceiling" metaphor, the "bamboo ceiling" refers to a multitude of cultural factors impeding Asian Australians from advancing to leadership positions. Several of the winners and nominees shared their experiences with the bamboo ceiling in Australia. Even in 2024, there is still a "bamboo ceiling" in Australia.
