East Asia's fledgling hip-hop scene could have asked for no better boost than the arrival of Jin Au-Yeung. The 26-year-old Chinese-American rapper relocated to Hong Kong from New York City this summer in a move either born of frustration at a flagging Stateside career or of a wish to connect more strongly with his roots (his parents are from Hong Kong) - or both...
...recent market turmoil has directly affected the career paths of Harvard undergraduates who spent their summers interning at many of the global financial firms whose balance sheets have deteriorated in the last few weeks.

On that measure, Labour scored a resounding success...
