Pankaj Mishra is an essayist & novelist, as well as a longtime contributor to various legacy publications. He's recently helped launch Equator.org, a magazine that aims to "create a more cosmopolitan home for thought and art than Western periodicals."
To explain why #inclusion efforts in the workplace still matter, Greg Morley, #DEI expert & author of "BOND: Belonging and the Keys to Inclusion and Connection" (2024), spoke at the FCC, drawing from his decades of HR experience working for GE, Disney, Hasbro, & other large corporations.
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) has become a cultural flashpoint across the world with varying levels of public interest & discourse. In the #US, support for DEI has declined due to new policies put forth by the #Trump administration which views DEI as a threat to American society.

Since 2007, Monocle has strived to perfect the modern-day magazine. Published 10 times a year, each issue gives updates on global affairs, business, culture & more.
Monocle has since expanded its empire, offering shops & cafés across the world — including Hong Kong International Airport & Wan Chai.
But should the world actually fear China?
Zhou Bo – a retired Senior Colonel of the People’s Liberation Army, senior fellow at the Centre for International Security and Strategy at Tsinghua University, & author – says otherwise.

China’s rise has been documented in Western media as a threat to global stability, especially in Washington DC. Regardless of their political differences, both Democrats & Republicans agree that China’s growing influence is a problem & that the US needs to safeguard its position as a global leader.
Rest in peace, David Webb. The Foreign Correspondents' Club, Hong Kong, would like to express our deepest condolences to David's family and loved ones at this time. Thank you, David, for your contributions to our Club and Hong Kong. You will be missed.
