China-UK rapprochement / Gaza ceasefire deal
On this week’s edition of Global Focus, we’re talking about the future of Sino-British relations. Chinese Vice President Han Zheng met with British Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves at the China-UK Economic and Financial Dialogue in Beijing last week, as both sides signaled their willingness to re-engage after a six year hiatus, with trade and green energies high on the agenda.
However, uncertainty looms as to how much influence the new Trump administration would have on the future of economic ties between the UK and China. So how far is Keir Starmer’s government ready to go in boosting ties with China? And how much influence will the US have on the UK’s trade policy with the region?
In the second part of the programme, we're talking about the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas, following month of negotiations brokered by Egypt and Qatar. What are the implications? Was US President-elect Donald Trump involved? And how fragile is this agreement?

Resignation of Canadian PM Justin Trudeau / Calls to postpone school exams
主持人：Jim Gould and Mike Rowse
On Wednesday's Backchat, we're looking into the latest developments in Canadian politics, after the announcement from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that he intends to step down.
Mr Trudeau said he'd be bringing an end to his nine-years in office after the Liberal Party, which he currently leads, has chosen a new head.
The announcement comes as the party faces record low public approval ratings, ahead of federal elections in October this year.
Immigration is expected to be a focal point of the leadership race, along with questions about how Canada should manage its relationship with the United States, with the imminent return of Donald Trump as US president.
After 9:50, we speak to a concern group over calls by some teachers to delay school tests by two weeks, as some believe the timing is too close to the end of the Lunar New Year holidays.
