In the first part of Friday's Backchat, we'll talk about Chief Executive John Lee's visit to Zhejiang, where he met with representatives of six start-ups, nicknamed the Six Little Dragons.

The CE called for more cooperation between IT enterprises in Zhejiang and Hong Kong, and more joint projects to be launched.
