On Monday's Backchat, we'll be asking liquor traders and bar owners how they're doing after the government reduced duties on high-alcohol-content liquor last October.

Financial secretary Paul Chan earlier said that Hong Kong saw a 40 percent surge in spirits imports in the first four months of this year, calling the city a prime location for the industry.

So how is the sector faring and what more needs to be done to facilitate its development?

After the news, we'll speak to lawmakers and experts about further developing Hong Kong into a logistics and aviation hub.

What are some of the challenges that we are facing, and what does Hong Kong need to do to address stiff competition from other mainland cities? Also, how can the SAR diversify into new markets? We'll find out.

As always, we want to hear your thoughts. You can call us anytime at 2338-8266, WhatsApp 6899-8518, email backchat@rthk.hk or comment on our Facebook page.

Every Sunday morning at 7.30, Carol Mang will be introducing abridged versions of what we think are a great selection of these events for you to listen to and indulge your... Mind Matters.
 

In this week's episode, we will talk about the modern Chinese quest to stay fit. G.A.

First up, he will discuss with Hsuan-Ying Huang, associate professor at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, Anna Iskra, Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Copenhagen and John Osburg, Fellow on Chinese Society and Associate Professor at the University of Rochester. They were invited by the Asia Society to have a discussion entitled “China’s Wellness Boom: Healthy Mind, Healthy Spirit.”

Join us this Sunday morning at 8.15 for #Hashtag Hong Kong, our weekly focus on matters affecting civil society, where we hear from representatives of NGOs, associations, non-profit groups and statutory bodies. They talk about their work, and the bigger issues they deal with. They also share their choice of music with you to end each programme.

On this week's Hashtag Hong Kong, we are joined by with Kay McARDLE, Director & Founding Member of Equal Justice to talk about legal access for the disadvantaged.
