CE John Lee's Middle East visit / China's renewable energy development / AFTEC creativity project

On Tuesday’s Backchat, we looked back at Chief Executive John Lee’s trip to Qatar and Kuwait.

The SAR leader led a business delegation to the two Middle Eastern countries earlier this month. He described the visit as a successful and fruitful one.

A total of 59 Memoranda of Understanding and agreements were signed, including 35 in Qatar and 24 in Kuwait, spanning areas like finance, innovation and technology, commerce and legal support.

We talked to stakeholders and members of the delegation to find out what opportunities lie ahead for the SAR.

After the news, we took a closer look at China’s renewable energy development, after a think tank recently found that the country's carbon emissions fell in the first quarter of 2025 despite rising power demands.

And in the final part of the show, we were joined by a representative of the AFTEC Jockey Club Creative Futures Project for a preview of its Knowledge Exchange Festival that will take place from Friday to Sunday. The event is aimed at encouraging creativity and new ideas.

Golden Week tourism performance / Snooker development in Hong Kong

主持人：Azam Khan and Mike Rowse

On Thursday’s Backchat, we looked back at the Golden Week holiday, which attracted 1.1 million inbound visitors over the five-day period, amounting to a jump of 22 percent from the same period last year. Among them, about 920,000 were mainland visitors, exceeding the travel industry’s estimates of 800,000.

The retail, catering and hotel sectors all recorded growth in their businesses. Apart from traditional tourist spots, large crowds also flocked to the countryside and residential neighbourhoods, indicating a shift in people’s travel patterns.

After the news, we discussed how Hong Kong can further boost snooker development, after Zhao Xintong made history and became the first Chinese player to win the World Snooker Championship in England earlier this week.
