Noel Quinn, chief executive officer of HSBC Holdings Plc, speaks during the Global Financial Leaders Investment Summit in Hong Kong, China, on Tuesday, Nov. 7, 2023. Editor’s Note: Sign up for CNN’s Meanwhile in China newsletter, which explores what you need to know about the country’s rise and how it impacts the world. 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.

If I don’t try to move now, I could find myself staring vacantly at a computer screen for the next two hours. I don’t want that. I want to go downstairs and gather the laundry that’s sitting in the dryer, because laundry is one of those things that I, a functional person, should be able to do with basic fluency. “And, while you’re there,” my brain adds, “you can get a trash bag.” A trash bag, to bring to my home office where I work as a se...

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...
