Scientists have developed a lightweight, battery-free device that can stimulate the nervous system and help improve the mobility of stroke survivors with impaired movement and walking instability. Developed by researchers in Hong Kong and in mainland China, the device harvests energy from the wearer’s own movements to power targeted electrical stimulations, helping a user lift their weaker foot and restoring a more natural walking pattern.

Hong Kong authorities have stepped up checks on large dogs in public places to ensure they are properly leashed. A three-day operation ending in early September yielded three suspected cases of big dogs who were not restrained. The operation was prompted by recent fatal dog attacks in the city. Hong Kong’s Agricultural, Fisheries and Conservation Department is also looking into whether further requirements are needed to identify potential dangerous dogs.

Mainland Chinese food and beverage chains have aggressively expanded into Hong Kong in recent years, but some are now hitting major roadblocks. Global beverage and dessert chain Mixue downsized its business in Hong Kong, while other brands like Fufuland and Ningji exited the Hong Kong market. Hong Kong’s relatively high rent and labour costs have been a challenge for many of the businesses, which normally rely on a high-volume, low-price business model common in mainland China.
