    Russian President Vladimir Putin's visit to China / New research on late treatment of strokes

    For the first edition of Global Focus we're talking about Russian President Vladimir Putin's state visit to China.

    President Xi Jinping called on the relations between China and Russia to be cherished and cared for by both sides, as the two neighbours seek to bolster economic ties.
    Under a new agreement, the two countries are expected to deepen strategic partnership and reinforce their 75 years of diplomatic relations, a friendship Putin described as a "stabilising" force.
    This year's visit also comes amidst high tensions over the war in Ukraine, with China poised to reinforce its involvement in brokering peace between Ukraine and Russia.
    Which sectors of the economy are most likely to benefit from this deepening cooperation? And can China bring the Russia-Ukraine conflict to an end? We'll find out.

    In the last part of the programme, we learn more from a research looking into the effectiveness of late treatment of stroke.

    Changing spending habits among tourists / Leonard Cohen's "Book of Longing" adaptation

    Presenters:Jim Gould and Rainbow Leung

    On Tuesday's Backchat, we're talking about spending habits among mainland tourists.

    Immigration figures show that about 760,000 mainland visitors came to Hong Kong during the five-day Labour Day holiday, a 19% increase compared to last year. The city welcomed about 560 tour groups, with many attending the Tourism Board's HK$1 million fireworks display, which was part of the city's drive to attract tourists back into the SAR.
    But while visitor numbers saw an upward increase, some retailers and hotels noted a drop in sales, with younger tourists favouring historical spots over luxury malls, and some opting to spend the night in Shenzhen where room rates can be less than half of those in Hong Kong.
    Have mainland tourists become more frugal? We'll be talking to some leading industry figures.
    After 9:45, we learn more about a Hong Kong adaptation of late singer Leonard Cohen's "Book of Longing", which will be performed this Friday and Saturday in West Kowloon.
