Renaming of the Hong Kong Museum of Coastal Defence / Issues on Airbus A350 Rolls Royce engines

2024-09-04
 On Wednesday's Backchat, we're learning more about new exhibitions at one of the city’s museums.

The Hong Kong Museum of Coastal Defence was officially renamed on Tuesday, to include the War of Resistance in its title, and coinciding with the Victory Day of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.


Running until July next year, a newly unveiled exhibition entitled "Brothers in Arms", tells visitors more about the Chinese men and women who fought a guerilla campaign against the foreign invaders, both in Hong Kong and across the border in Shenzhen.


The revamp is part of the Chief Executive's pledge to cultivate a stronger sense of national pride and patriotism among citizens, with other similar plans taking shape.


After 9:45, we get a pilot's reaction to Cathay Pacific's decision to ground all of its Airbus A350 aircrafts until Saturday, as at least 15 jets were found to have problems with their Rolls Royce engines.
