Slide, tap, hold: Why ‘maimai’ keeps attracting new players 10 years on

Subscribe to our YouTube channel for free here: https://ift.tt/aAhDvy8 Released in 2012 by Japanese gaming giant Sega, the arcade video game maimai is often referred to affectionately as a washing machine by fans, owing to its unusual shape. The game is very popular in Hong Kong, where traditional arcade-style venues, which have largely disappeared from other places, still exist. Hong Kong university student Leung Wang-hoi started playing in April 2022, enchanted by the game’s unique eight-button design. The maimai aficionado, who has since achieved a near-perfect completion score, showed Post reporter Connor Mycroft how to play maimai like a pro.

‘What else have we got?”: Macau questions role as casino hub after painful Covid downturn

Subscribe to our YouTube channel for free here: https://ift.tt/aAhDvy8 Tourists have returned to Macau after the casino hub reopened its borders on January 8, 2023. As the main pillar of Macau’s economy, the gambling industry has generated over 70 per cent of the government's income from 2014 to 2019. While the Chinese central government and the Macau administration have been making efforts to increase non-gambling revenue and attractions to develop the city into a “world centre of tourism and leisure”, the city’s economic structure is still struggling to reduce its reliance on casinos.

China’s top diplomat urges US to ‘avoid misjudgment’ as Blinken trip postponed over balloon issue

Subscribe to our YouTube channel for free here: https://ift.tt/aAhDvy8 US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has postponed his planned trip to China after the United States detected a suspected Chinese surveillance balloon over its territory. Beijing described the balloon as an “unmanned airship employed for civilian purposes” that had accidentally deviated from its planned course. China’s top diplomat Wang Yi called for both sides to “avoid misjudgment” over the incident. Blinken also said on February 3, 2023, that he still plans to visit Beijing when conditions allow.

Pentagon says it is tracking ‘Chinese spy balloon’ in US ahead of Blinken’s first trip to Beijing

Subscribe to our YouTube channel for free here: https://ift.tt/He3SNGu The Pentagon said it was tracking what it claims to be a Chinese spy balloon flying over the US for several days. Eyewitness video taken on February 1, 2023, showed what appears to be a large white balloon over the northwestern state of Montana. China did not immediately substantiate the claims, but said it is looking into the allegations. Beijing and Washington have a long history of spying on each other, but the timing of the incident has raised eyebrows. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken is expected to make his first official trip to Beijing during the weekend starting February 4.
