    Possible hepatitis B cure / China's theme park boom / Oracle bone scripts exhibition / Chinese satellite refuelling

    On Tuesday's Backchat, we first ventured into the medical world, after the University of Hong Kong’s Faculty of Medicine said one of its 41 drugs under clinical trials for Hepatitis B may provide a cure for patients. We spoke to the head of the research team, and found out how the drug works.
    After that, we explored the theme park boom on the mainland, after the recent opening of Legoland Shanghai Resort generated significant buzz.
    After the break, we switched our focus to an exhibition at the Central Library showcasing the historical development of Chinese characters.
    Wrapping up our programme, we found out from a space expert about how two Chinese satellites had reportedly docked in geostationary orbit for a historic refuelling mission.

    Plastic ban grace period end / Hong Kong Wine & Dine Festival

    主持人:Janice Wong and Jenny Lam

    On Wednesday's Backchat, we're talking about the ban on single-use plastics, with a six-month grace period having ended on Monday.

    Restaurants are now prohibited from offering certain items of plastic tableware, and hotels can no longer give away plastic toiletries and water in plastic bottles.
    Transgressors face fines of up to $100,000, although the administration has stressed that it wants to effect changes in behaviour, rather than punish people.
    The Chief Executive, John Lee, said the adaption phase had gone smoothly, and the government would consider a range of factors before moving on the next phase of the plastics ban, which will include takeaways.
    However, the new rules have drawn mixed response from consumers, with some taking to social media to complain after finding out that some hotels had begun charging for items, including non-plastic ones. There's also been concern over the durability of paper straws provided in restaurants.
    Are we ready for the next phase? And how can we strike a balance between protecting the environment and minimising the impact on customer experience?
    After 9:45, we hear about Hong Kong's role as a wine trading centre, ahead of the Wine & Dine Festival.
