Hong Kong CNN   — Diversification away from China is increasing, and it doesn’t just affect foreign companies, according to HSBC CEO Noel Quinn. Speaking at the Bloomberg New Economy forum in Singapore on Wednesday, Quinn said the head of one of HSBC’s units had recently reported a 70% jump “in activity in helping Chinese clients diversify their business model outside of the land mass of China.

What if everything we experience in the world was nothing more than an elaborate simulated reality? The simulation hypothesis isn’t a novel idea and it’s enjoyed some mainstream appeal through movies like The Matrix and high-profile proponents like Elon Musk. Now a physicist working at the University of Portsmouth in the UK has published research in the AIP Advances journal that he says provides support to the strange theory. “I don't want to paraphrase Morpheus from The Matr...

 Women who 'sprinted' away from pub without paying for meal say 'plan' was to call to pay later after 'a personal emergency' - and hit out at 'homophobic and body-shaming abuse' they received after being shamed on social media by the owner Two women who 'ran away without paying' for a £56 meal at a gastropub with their children have said they were forced to leave because of a 'personal emergency'.  The pair were shamed in a Facebook post by landlady Lisa McMaster who shared CCTV footage of the two leaving her pub, the Smithy Arms in Swinton, North Yorkshire. In the post, Ms McMaster claimed the women told staff they would pay for their food at the bar after their meal. But on a busy evening no one noticed as the couple slipped away from the pub until they were spotted sprinting through the car park. Their distinctive white car, with a pink roof, was seen reversing away from its parking space and disappearing down the road. They ...
