The Immigration Department (ImmD) carried out repatriation operations from October 20 to today (October 24). A total of 90 unsubstantiated non-refoulement claimants who were illegal immigrants and overstayers were repatriated to their places of origin. The persons removed comprised 46 men and 44 women. Among them were discharged prisoners who had committed criminal offences and had been sentenced to imprisonment.
 
The ImmD has been committed to promptly removing unsubstantiated non-refoulement claimants from Hong Kong to maintain effective immigration control and safeguard the public interest. Under the updated removal policy effective from December 7, 2022, the ImmD may generally proceed with the removal of a claimant whose judicial review case has been dismissed by the Court of First Instance of the High Court, thereby enhancing the efficiency of and efforts in removing unsubstantiated claimants.

Depending on circumstances and needs, the ImmD will remain committed to expediting the removal process and actively maintain close liaison with governments of major source countries of non-refoulement claimants, airline companies and other government departments to repatriate unsubstantiated non-refoulement claimants from Hong Kong as soon as practicable through all appropriate measures.

     The “Immersive Hong Kong” roving exhibition, organised by the Information Services Department of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government to showcase the diversity and latest developments of Hong Kong through interactive art technology, opened in Chengdu today (October 24). 

     Co-organised with the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in Chengdu, the exhibition, themed “Hong Kong – Where the World Looks Ahead”, invites visitors from Chengdu and throughout Sichuan Province to explore the unique opportunities and potential for tourism, education, business and investment in Hong Kong.

     The exhibition enables visitors to delve into different virtual scenes representing the city, with a creative twist. The five thematic zones are “Financial Bridgehead”, “I&T Brain Bank”, “Blossoming Creativity”, “Diversity and Greenery” and “Buzzing Sports Action”. They feature multiple interactive art projections, light box installations and naked-eye 3D displays, representing the distinctive appeal of Hong Kong.

     Visitors may also enjoy Hong Kong’s vibrant and colourful skyline, illustrated by Hong Kong artist Messy Desk (Jane Lee), at a photo corner in the venue. Promotional videos and digital panels presenting information about the city, as well as insights from Chinese Mainland companies about their experiences in Hong Kong are also on display, highlighting why the city is one of the most desirable places to visit, study, live, work and invest.

     Speaking at the opening ceremony today, the Director of Information Services, Mrs Apollonia Liu, noted that this year marks the 10th anniversary edition of the Belt and Road Summit organised by the HKSAR. As such, three node cities along the Belt and Road on the Mainland were selected to hold the exhibition. The first two stops were successfully held in Shanghai and Qingdao respectively, attracting a total of almost 300 000 visitors. 

     “We are delighted to bring the roving exhibition to Chengdu, the provincial capital of Sichuan,” Mrs Liu said. “Since the establishment of the Hong Kong/Sichuan Co-operation Conference mechanism in 2018, the co-operation and communication between Sichuan and Hong Kong have been strengthening steadily. The two places have reached consensus on strengthening various co-operation areas, including the economic, trade, and the Belt and Road Initiative. Data from 2024 shows that Hong Kong is Sichuan’s largest source of external investment and the fourth-largest export area. As of May 2025, more than 40 Sichuan enterprises have been listed in Hong Kong.”

     Mrs Liu added that Sichuan is the world’s largest and most complete habitat for giant pandas. The giant panda is a national treasure that embodies profound Chinese culture and ecological significance, connecting compatriots from the Chinese Mainland and Hong Kong citizens. The six giant pandas in Hong Kong, including four from Chengdu and a pair of twins born to two of them, are beloved by both residents and tourists. As such, the exhibition has incorporated elements of the giant panda for visitors in Chengdu to learn more about the pandas in Hong Kong.
 
     Mrs Liu pointed out that Hong Kong and Chengdu are both sports event hubs, staging high-quality events this year. In August, Chengdu hosted the 2025 World Games for the first time, while Hong Kong will cohost the 15th National Games with Guangdong and Macao next month. The “Buzzing Sports Action” thematic zone of the exhibition serves as pre-event publicity for the National Games.
 
     To enhance Chengdu residents’ understanding of Hong Kong’s arts and cultural landmark – the West Kowloon Cultural District, the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority has also set up a display area at the venue. It showcases the unique features of the cultural district through engaging ways such as a photo corner and a capsule toy game.
 
     A Hong Kong pop music concert by SENZA A Cappella will also be staged at the exhibition venue this weekend.
 
     Mrs Liu expressed hope that the exhibition would spark the interest of friends from Chengdu to learn more about Hong Kong and visit the city. She also said she hopes that Sichuan and Hong Kong would continue to leverage on and integrate their unique advantages to foster win-win co-operation outcomes in various fields.

     During the exhibition, visitors can take part in an interactive game, “Snap a cool shot @Immersive Hong Kong”, with exciting prizes on offer. Prizes include two pairs of round-trip business or economy class air tickets from Chengdu to Hong Kong sponsored by Cathay Pacific, and sets of six giant panda figurines. Visitors playing digital interactive games at the exhibition can also receive souvenirs.

     The exhibition is being held at the MixC, a major shopping centre in Chengdu, until November 2. Admission is free.

     Chengdu is the eighth stop of the exhibition, following successful events in seven cities on the Chinese Mainland, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, and the Middle East between July 2023 and July 2025.

     Supporting organisations of the exhibition include the Belt and Road Office of the Commerce and Economic Development Bureau, Hong Kong Talent Engage, Cathay Pacific, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, the Hong Kong Tourism Board, Kai Tak Sports Park and the West Kowloon Cultural District Authority.

     More information on the exhibition is available on the dedicated page on the Brand Hong Kong website and the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in Chengdu website.

The Census and Statistics Department (C&SD) released today (October 24) the results of the Quarterly Business Tendency Survey for the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2025.
 
Business Situation
 
For all surveyed sectors taken together, the proportion of respondents expecting their business situation to be better (13%) in Q4 2025 over the preceding quarter is slightly lower than that expecting it to be worse (15%).
 
When compared with the results of the Q3 2025 survey round, the proportion of respondents expecting a better business situation in Q4 2025 is 13%, higher than the corresponding proportion in Q3 2025 (10%). At the same time, the proportion of respondents expecting a worse business situation had decreased from 18% in Q3 2025 to 15% in Q4 2025.
 
Analysed by sector, respondents in quite a number of the surveyed sectors expect their business situation to decrease on balance in Q4 2025 as compared with Q3 2025. In particular, significantly more respondents in the construction sector expect their business situation to be worse in Q4 2025 as compared with Q3 2025. On the other hand, in the retail, financing and insurance and accommodation and food services sectors, more respondents expect their business situation to be better, as compared to those expecting it to be worse.
 
The results of the survey should be interpreted with care. In this type of survey on expectations, the views collected in the survey are affected by the events in the community occurring around the time of enumeration, and it is difficult to establish precisely the extent to which respondents’ perception of the future accords with the underlying trends. The enumeration period for this survey round was from September 2, 2025 to October 10, 2025.
 
Volume of Business / Output
 
Analysed by sector, the number of surveyed sectors with respondents expecting their volume of business/output to decrease on balance in Q4 2025 as compared with Q3 2025 is broadly the same as the number of surveyed sectors expecting their volume of business/output to increase. In particular, more respondents in the construction, information and communications and manufacturing sectors expect their volume of construction output/business/production to decrease in Q4 2025 over Q3 2025. On the contrary, in the real estate, retail, accommodation and food services and financing and insurance sectors, more respondents expect their volume of business/sales to increase, as compared to those expecting it to decrease.
 
Employment
 
Respondents in quite a number of the surveyed sectors expect their employment to remain broadly unchanged in Q4 2025 as compared with Q3 2025. However, more respondents in the retail and professional and business services sectors expect their employment to decrease in Q4 2025 over Q3 2025. In the manufacturing and real estate sectors, on the other hand, more respondents expect their employment to increase, as compared to those expecting it to decrease.
 
Selling Price / Service Charge
 
Respondents in most of the surveyed sectors expect their selling prices/service charges to remain broadly unchanged in Q4 2025 as compared with Q3 2025. However, significantly more respondents in the construction sector expect their tender prices to go down in Q4 2025 over Q3 2025.
 
Commentary
 
A Government spokesman said that the overall near-term business outlook among large enterprises improved for the fourth quarter of 2025. The hiring appetite was largely steady on the whole.
 
Looking forward, the spokesman said that local business sentiment will be well underpinned by the sustained expansion in various segments of the Hong Kong economy, notwithstanding the ongoing uncertainties in the external environment. The Government will monitor the situation closely.
 
Further Information
 
The survey gathers views on short-term business performance from the senior management of about 560 prominent companies in various sectors in Hong Kong with a view to providing a quick reference, with minimum time lag, for predicting the short-term future economic performance of the local economy.
 
The survey covers 10 major sectors in Hong Kong, namely manufacturing; construction; import / export trade and wholesale; retail; accommodation and food services (mainly covering services rendered by hotels and restaurants); transportation, storage and courier services; information and communications; financing and insurance; real estate; and professional and business services sectors.
 
Views collected in the survey refer only to those of respondents on their own companies rather than those on the respective sectors they are engaged in, and are limited to the expected direction of quarter-to-quarter change (e.g. “up”, “same” or “down”) but not the magnitude of change. In collecting views on the quarter-to-quarter changes, if the variable in question is subject to seasonal variations, respondents are asked to provide the expected changes after excluding the normal seasonal variations.
 
Survey results are generally presented as “net balance”, i.e. the difference between the percentage of respondents choosing “up” and that choosing “down”. The percentage distribution of respondents among various response categories (e.g. “up”, “same” and “down”) reflects how varied their business expectations are. The “net balance”, with its appropriate sign, indicates the direction of expected change in the variable concerned. A positive sign indicates a likely upward trend while a negative sign indicates a likely downward trend. However, the magnitude of the “net balance” reflects only the prevalence of optimism or pessimism, but not the magnitude of expected change, since information relating to such magnitude is not collected in the survey.
 
Furthermore, owing to sample size constraint, care should be taken in interpreting survey results involving a small percentage (e.g. less than 10%) of respondents in individual sectors.
 
Chart 1 shows the views on expected changes in business situation for the period Q4 2024 to Q4 2025.
 
Table 1 shows the net balances of views on expectations in respect of different variables for Q4 2025.
 
The survey results are published in greater detail in the “Report on Quarterly Business Tendency Survey, Q4 2025”. Users can browse and download the publication at the website of the C&SD (www.censtatd.gov.hk/en/EIndexbySubject.html?pcode=B1110008&scode=300).

The Government today (October 24) reminded local and cross-boundary private car drivers that, starting from November 1, child passengers travelling in private cars in Hong Kong must use a Child Restraining Device (CRD), such as child safety seats, to enhance passenger safety. Offending drivers will be subject to a maximum fine of $2,000.

From November 1, unless child passengers aged below 8 reach a body height of 1.35 metres, they must use a CRD in private cars irrespective of sitting in the front or rear seats. Passengers aged 8 or above, or with a body height of at least 1.35m must either use a CRD or wear an adult seat belt. The Police may issue a Fixed Penalty Notice of $230 to offending drivers. Serious cases may be referred to the court, which can impose a maximum fine of $2,000.

When choosing a CRD, members of the public should accord top priority to the height and/or weight range for which the product is suitable. They should also look for any markings indicating compliance with national or international standards recognised and follow the installation guidelines. For enquiries, they should consult the manufacturer or retailer on the product standards to ensure compliance with the requirements specified in the legislation. Apart from child safety seats, portable CRDs such as seat belt adjusters, wearable safety restraint vests and foldable boosters can also be used. Yet, as they do not have protective pads and seat backs on both sides, their protection capabilities in side-impact collisions are in general not as good as those of child safety seats.

The Government has stepped up publicity and public education since February. The Transport Department (TD) has strengthened collaboration with the Police, the Education Bureau, the Information Services Department, Radio Television Hong Kong, the Road Safety Council and the Consumer Council to introduce the legal requirements through website, infographics, videos, media, social media, parent information websites, the “e-Bulletin for Parents” and publicity posters on traffic signal controllers across various districts. In addition, the TD further reminded parents to purchase CRDs as soon as possible for early preparations after Easter holidays, during the Children Products Expo in the summer vacation and prior to the first school day.

Members of the public may refer to the TD’s designated webpage on CRDs (www.td.gov.hk/en/road_safety/crd), infographics on the Agent T Facebook page and the relevant article in the Consumer Council’s CHOICE Magazine for the legal requirements and selection tips, or call the TD’s hotline 2804 2600 for enquiries.

     The Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (EMSD) today (October 24) announced an adjustment to the auto-LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) ceiling prices for dedicated LPG filling stations from November 1 to 30, 2025, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contracts for dedicated LPG filling stations.

     A department spokesman said that the adjustment on November 1, 2025, would reflect the movement of the LPG international price in October 2025. The adjusted auto-LPG ceiling prices for dedicated LPG filling stations would range from $3.12 to $4.04 per litre, amounting to a decrease of $0.08 to $0.09 per litre. 

     The spokesman said that the auto-LPG ceiling prices were adjusted according to a pricing formula specified in the contracts. The formula comprises two elements – the LPG international price and the LPG operating price. The LPG international price refers to the LPG international price of the preceding month. The LPG operating price is adjusted on February 1 and June 1 annually according to the average movement of the Composite Consumer Price Index and the Nominal Wage Index. 

     The auto-LPG ceiling prices for respective dedicated LPG filling stations in November 2025 are as follows:
 

Location of Dedicated LPG Filling Station	Auto-LPG Ceiling Price in November 2025 (HK$/litre)	Auto-LPG Ceiling Price in October 2025 (HK$/litre)
Kwai On Road, Kwai Chung	3.12	3.21
Sham Mong Road, Mei Foo	3.19	3.28
Wai Lok Street, Kwun Tong	3.24	3.33
Cheung Yip Street, Kowloon Bay	3.28	3.37
Ngo Cheung Road, West Kowloon	3.30	3.38
Yuen Chau Tsai, Tai Po	3.35	3.44
Tak Yip Street, Yuen Long	3.46	3.55
Hang Yiu Street, Ma On Shan	3.48	3.57
Marsh Road, Wan Chai	3.49	3.58
Fung Mat Road, Sheung Wan	3.51	3.60
Yip Wong Road, Tuen Mun	3.61	3.70
Fung Yip Street, Chai Wan	4.04	4.13

The spokesman said that the details of the LPG international price and the auto-LPG ceiling price for each dedicated LPG filling station had been uploaded to the EMSD website (www.emsd.gov.hk) and posted at dedicated LPG filling stations to enable the trades to monitor the price adjustment.

     Details of the pricing adjustment mechanism for dedicated LPG filling stations can also be viewed under the “What’s New” section of the department website at www.emsd.gov.hk/en/what_s_new/current/index.html.

     An owner of a mini-storage unit was convicted and fined $59,960 in total, of which $23,960 was the fine for the number of days that the offence continued, by the Eastern Magistrates’ Courts yesterday (October 23) for failing to comply with a removal order and a repair order issued under the Buildings Ordinance (BO) (Cap. 123).  

     The case involved an alteration of a mini-storage unit in an industrial building at Lee Chung Street and Cheung Lee Street, Chai Wan. As the alteration and addition works were carried out without prior approval and consent from the Buildings Department (BD), and the works obstructed the means of escape and means of access for fire fighting and rescue as well as affecting the fire resisting construction of the building, contravening the Building (Planning) Regulations and the Building (Construction) Regulation, a removal order and a repair order were served on the owner under section 24(1) and section 26 of the BO respectively. Failing to comply with the statutory orders, the owner was prosecuted by the BD.

     A spokesman for the BD said today (October 24), “Unauthorised alteration works causing obstruction to the means of escape and means of access for fire fighting and rescue, or affecting the fire resisting construction of a building may lead to serious consequences. Owners must comply with removal orders and repair orders without delay. The BD will continue to take enforcement action against owners who fail to comply with removal orders and repair orders, including instigation of prosecution, to ensure building and public safety.”

    Failure to comply with a removal order without reasonable excuse is a serious offence under the BO. The maximum penalty upon conviction is a fine of $200,000 and one year’s imprisonment, and a further fine of up to $20,000 for each day that the offence continues. Moreover, failure to comply with a repair order without reasonable excuse is a serious offence. The maximum penalty upon conviction is a fine of level 5 ($50,000 at present) and one year’s imprisonment, and a further fine of up to $5,000 for each day that the offence continues.

Following is the speech by the Acting Secretary for Innovation, Technology and Industry, Ms Lillian Cheong, at the Opening Ceremony and Science Symposium of 2025 Future Science Prize Week today (October 24):

Professor Lo (Co-Chair of the Program Committee of the 2025 Future Science Prize Week, Professor Dennis Lo), Mr Wang (Rotating Chairman of the 2025 Future Science Prize Donor’s Congress, Mr Victor Wang), Professor Warshel (2013 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, Professor Arieh Warshel), Ivan (Commissioner for Innovation and Technology, Mr Ivan Lee), distinguished guests and speakers, ladies and gentlemen,

     Good morning. It is really my great pleasure to join you all today at the Opening Ceremony of the 2025 Future Science Prize (FSP) Week in Hong Kong.

     This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Future Science Prize – a milestone that not only celebrates a decade of scientific excellence, but also invites us to look boldly toward the horizon. I am very delighted to welcome you all for the third time here in Hong Kong as the host city of this world-class scientific gathering.

     As just introduced by our Professor Dennis Lo, the theme of this year’s event “Shining a Light on the Future of Science,” could not be more fitting. Science is the torch that illuminates the unknown, the compass that guides us through complexity, and the engine that propels humanity forward. The five-day programmes of the FSP Week will bring together over 100 brilliant minds from around the world to explore the frontiers of knowledge, foster interdisciplinary exchange, and inspire the next generation of thinkers and innovators.

     Scientific progress is a long and winding road, it is a journey demands vision, perseverance, and collaboration. That is why the Hong Kong SAR (Special Administrative Region) Government has made innovation and technology (I&T) a cornerstone of our development strategy. Guided by the Hong Kong I&T Development Blueprint promulgated in December 2022, we have rolled out a series of targeted initiatives and invested heavily in infrastructure, talent, R&D (research and development) and industry development to perfect the local I&T ecosystem. And I hope all our initiatives could be beneficial to all of you. Our goal is very clear: to create a fertile ground where innovative ideas can take root, grow, and flourish here in Hong Kong and to help all of you to make your dreams get realised very soon.

     Meanwhile, we are also deepening international I&T collaboration as we firmly believe that science knows no borders. Events like the Future Science Prize Week serve as vital platforms for building bridges between disciplines, cultures, and generations. Leveraging the distinctive advantages of enjoying the strong support of the motherland and also being closely connected to the world under the principle of “one country, two systems”, Hong Kong will continue to play its role as a “super connector” and a “super value-adder” in fostering international I&T collaboration.

     Ladies and gentlemen, the Future Science Prize Week reflects the highest standards of academic excellence and global perspective. In just a short while, the Science Symposium will commence with a very inspiring keynote address by Professor Arieh Warshel, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry. This keynote sets the tone for a week filled with intellectual rigour and visionary dialogue. Indeed, beyond the Symposium, the Future Science Prize Week offers a rich tapestry of events designed to engage, enlighten and inspire. Some highlights include the Laureates’ Dialogue with the Youth and the Award Ceremony and Concerts. So I hope that you will find it very fruitful and very meaningful and also very eventful for Hong Kong.

     Taking this opportunity, I would like to also express my deepest gratitude to Professor Dennis Lo, Mr Victor Wang, Dr Harry Sham (Co-Chair of the Program Committee of the 2025 Future Science Prize Week) and also the Organising Committee for their tireless efforts in bringing this remarkable event to life. Let us seize this moment – not only to honour the achievements of our laureates, but also to reaffirm our shared belief that science is a force for good. Let us work together to illuminate the path ahead, and may the light empower us to build a better and wiser world – for ourselves and also for generations yet to come.

​Lastly, may I wish you all a very rewarding and inspiring Future Science Prize Week 2025. Thank you.
