On Tuesday's programme, we talked to some lawmakers as the new term of the Legislative Council got underway. We found out what their priorities are, and what ideas they have for Hong Kong to further boost development and diversify its economy.
We then looked back at Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's state visit to China last week. Mr. Carney was the first Canadian leader to visit the nation since 2017. He met President Xi Jinping for talks where both leaders called for a strengthening of bilateral ties. A major outcome was Canada announcing its decision to ease tariffs on Chinese EVs. China, meanwhile, will lower tariffs on key Canadian agricultural products.
