    Future Investment Initiative Institutes Summit / Taylor Swift: Time Magazine's person of the year 2023

    On Friday's Backchat, we're talking about Hong Kong’s status as an international finance hub.

    Earlier this week the government hit out at Moody’s decision to change the credit outlook of Hong Kong to "negative" from "stable". It stressed that Hong Kong’s tight links with the mainland are a source of strength for the territory’s long-term development, not a rating constraint.
    And despite Moody’s downgrade, the Future Investment Initiative Institutes Summit is currently taking place here-- the second international financial event held in Hong Kong within two weeks.
    Organisers say Hong Kong was chosen to host the event precisely because it’s a global financial and investment hub that serves as a bridge to the mainland and the rest of Asia.
    So, how is Hong Kong doing as an international financial hub? What’s behind the Moody’s downgrade?
    After 9:45am, we look at Taylor Swift - Time magazine's person of the year.

    Hong Kong's prison conditions / Bedbugs in Hong Kong: how prevalent are they?

    主持人:Jim Gould and Ada Wong

    On Tuesday's Backchat, we're talking about Hong Kong's prison conditions, amid plans to renovate the Lai Chi Kok Reception Centre.

    The administration is planning to spend HK$5.5 billion on an upgrade for the centre, which holds remand prisoners awaiting trial. It would include prayer rooms, a dental clinic, a library, sports facilities and revamped visitation rooms.
    The Secretary for Security, Chris Tang, has stressed the that the work would involve a "no frills and fitness-for-purpose" redevelopment. He also dismissed
    criticism from some legislators that the project was too costly and that the prison would resemble a "five-star hotel".
    In terms of the wider prison population, how far should we go in accommodating inmates' needs? And do we have adequate means to rehabilitate offenders?
    After 9:45, we talk to an expert on bed-bugs, with infestations apparently on the rise worldwide.
