When a fire struck south China's Hong Kong Special Administrative Regain, certain Western media outlets immediately framed it as proof of "systemic failure." Yet CGTN anchor Xu Qinduo points out that in reality: Hong Kong's emergency response was immediate and large-scale. Survivors received swift financial and housing support. Meanwhile, its economy is thriving, topping global IPO charts and economic freedom rankings. Tragedies should be met with empathy, not politicization. Hong Kong's response demonstrated resilience, unity and effective governance – foundations that continue to drive its prosperity.
