HONG KONG, Nov. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- China Mobile, the leading initiator and investor in the Southeast Asia-Hainan-Hong Kong (SEA-H2X) international submarine cable project, today announced the successful landing of the cable in Tseung Kwan O, Hong Kong. As the landing party of the Hong Kong segment, China Mobile advanced and completed the landing smoothly. This marks a successful start to the construction of the Hong Kong segment of the SEA-H2X, indicating that construction of the segment has officially begun, with full system completion anticipated by the end of 2025. China Mobile Completes Landing of Hong Kong Segment of SEA-H2X International Submarine Cable Project The SEA-H2X international submarine cable spans approximately 6,000 kilometers, featuring eight trunk fiber pairs along the trunk and a system design capacity exceeding 200 Tbps. It connects Hainan, China, Hong Kong, China, the Philippines, Thailand, and Singapore. Employing industry-leading open cable access technology (Open Cable) with spectrum sharing capabilities, the project significantly boosts the overall network flexibility and access efficiency. It also incorporates advanced core submarine equipment to deliver ultra-high transmission capacity, while enhancing operational security, service configuration agility, and reliability in complex networking environments—fully addressing the high standards required for future international backbone communication networks. As the project's largest investor, China Mobile has invested in four trunk fiber pairs and several branch segments, securing at least 100 Tbps of dedicated bandwidth upon commissioning. The initiative complements China Mobile's existing submarine cables, such as SJC, APG, and the SJC2 added in July this year, and will help to fully revitalize Asia-Pacific backbone connectivity. With a total of ten regional submarine routes now in place, China Mobile is able to deliver high-bandwidth, low-latency, flexible, and reliable transmission solutions, establishing a world-class digital infrastructure for computing networks and providing superior digital services to customers across Asia-Pacific and the world. As a significant digital infrastructure project, the SEA-H2X international submarine cable tightly connects the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area—represented by Hong Kong—with the Hainan Free Trade Port and major Southeast Asian hubs. The system not only fully leverages Hong Kong's role as a strategic digital hub but also establishes a direct international 'data artery' from Hainan to Southeast Asia, enhancing coordinated regional development and supporting digital industry growth and international data center operations. The SEA-H2X project has enabled China Mobile to continue solidifying its core strengths in digital communication in the Asia-Pacific region and elevate its overall competitiveness in global telecommunications. The initiative has laid a robust network foundation for the long-term growth of the regional digital economy and injected sustained impetus into worldwide digital interconnectivity.

Side by Side offers a simple application process, benefits payable upon initial diagnosis of both moderate dementia and severe dementia, and holistic end-to-end support, building on Chubb Life Hong Kong's deep understanding of and commitment to address the evolving needs of the silver aged community. A panel discussion was held at the kick-off event of Side-by-Side Dementia Film Festival.

Together with caregivers and experts, they opened a safer, more informed space for dialogue around dementia. Hong Kong faces a significant demographic shift, with one in three residents expected to be aged 65 or above by 20461, and dementia cases projected to exceed 390,000 by 20452. The burden on families is substantial, with an alarming 42% of family caregivers reporting depression3.

Key features include: Early detection and diagnosis: Complimentary cognitive assessments4 for the Insured and designated family members, prioritizing early prevention.

Flexible settlement options5: Choice of lump sum or monthly installment plan for severe dementia benefits. Premium waiver: All future premiums waived after a severe dementia diagnosis. Management continuity: Appointment of a designated successor owner6 to minimize complicated procedures if the original owner becomes mentally incapacitated. Simple application: Answering just one health question and no medical underwriting required. Recognizing the burden on caregivers, Side by Side includes a Caregiver Support Benefit, reimbursing professional counselling expenses after the insured is diagnosed with severe dementia. In addition, the Step by Step Care value-added service4, available in Hong Kong, Macau, and designated Greater Bay Area cities, grants families access to personal case management, early cognitive assessment, daily living support, therapy services, and ongoing training programs - all designed to provide accessible and personalized support.

This collaboration aims to elevate Hong Kong's unique local tastes and culinary heritage from the land to the skies. The initiative creatively transforms distinctive local ingredients, such as dried seafood, which pose a classic challenge for inflight catering, into exquisite dishes that capture the essence of Hong Kong. This allows passengers to forge a genuine connection with the city through its food, experiencing a unique culinary journey where the land nurtures, the skies refine. Executive Chinese Chef of Yue – Jacky Chung Chi Keung (centre) Savour Hong Kong: Lantau's Charm and Nature's Bounty on Your Plate This collaboration draws inspiration from the natural essence of Lantau Island.

Incorporating dried seafood into the menu represents a bold endeavour, showcasing the essence of Hong Kong cuisine heritage while delivering an unprecedented taste experience for passengers. When preparing dried squid, Executive Chinese Chef Jacky Chung of YUE masterfully locks in the ocean's freshness while meticulously removing the gladius. To ensure the fish maw retains its tender and flavourful texture throughout the flight, it undergoes a precise three-step process of braising, stewing, and simmering. For the braised beef short ribs with honey and radish, precise temperature control is paramount. Honey must be added at the very last moment to coax out its rich, wild sweetness without any hint of tartness. This fusion of boldness and refinement ensures every bite, from land to sky, conveys the purest taste of Hong Kong, transforming each mouthful into an immersive cultural experience. A Three-Stage Culinary Journey Through the Flavours of Lantau From October 2025, Hong Kong Airlines Business Class will introduce a refined menu curated by Chef Jacky Chung in phased rollouts, delivering monthly taste sensations for passengers.

Stewed Beef Glazed with Honey and Turnip with Steamed Rice: Honey is added in the final stage of braising to prevent tartness, enhancing the natural sweetness and tenderness of the beef short ribs. November: Deeper, Richer Flavours Sauteed Garlic Dried Shrimp with Chive Flower, Cordyceps Flowers with Bamboo Fungus and Broccoli with Egg Fried Rice: The savoury dried shrimp perfectly complements seasonal chive flowers, while nourishing cordyceps flower and bamboo fungus add vitality to the journey. Braised Fish Maw with Mushrooms in Oyster Sauce Served with Steamed Rice: Meticulously prepared fish maw and plump shiitake mushrooms are braised in oyster sauce until deeply flavourful, embodying the very essence of Cantonese cuisine. December: Hearty & Comforting Classics Braised Pork with Dried Plaice Bless Fish and Chestnuts, Garlic Eggplant with Egg Fried Rice: The unique umami of dried plaice bless fish is paired with tender chestnuts and pork, bringing a traditional dish brimming with homely flavours.
