On Monday's Backchat, CPC’s central committee meeting and wild boars.





Tuesday morning our time President Xi Jinping will hold a virtual meeting with his US counterpart, Joe Biden, which it's hoped will lead to more stability amid increased tensions between the world's two largest economies.






It comes after the Chinese Communist Party passed an historic resolution last Thursday which places President Xi Jinping on a level with former leaders Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping.






The resolution outlined the challenges and successes of the party over the last 100 years in taking forward the development of the nation. It also endorsed the president's policies on Hong Kong and Taiwan as part of his major political achievements.






After 9.15am, we are discussing the management of Hong Kong's wild boar population, after increasing encounters with the animals straying into built-up areas.
