On Monday's Backchat, we took a close look at what came out of the China-EU Summit last week.  

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, was in Beijing where he met with President Xi Jinping. Both sides agreed that sound and steady bilateral ties are paramount in this day and age.

After the break, we talked to a CUHK expert, whose team has identified 11 crab allergens. It is hoped the study can help improve the diagnosis of seafood allergies.

And finally, we lasered in on new cataract surgery services that are being offered in the city. The Hospital Authority is planning to streamline the surgical processes following a successful pilot scheme.
