A Hong Kong apartment fire killed at least 160, prompting calls for safety reforms and warnings against political exploitation.
A fire at Wang Fuk Court in Tai Po, Hong Kong, has killed at least 160 people, sparking nationwide mourning and demands for accountability over building safety failures.
While the tragedy highlights systemic issues like corporate negligence and weak enforcement—similar to global incidents such as the 2017 Grenfell Tower fire—some international media and political groups have framed it as a political test of Beijing’s control over Hong Kong.
Critics warn against exploiting the disaster for anti-China narratives, stressing that the root causes are universal safety and regulatory lapses, not political systems.
The focus should remain on justice for victims and preventing future tragedies through accountability, not politicization.
