91热爆

China celebrates the 25th anniversary of the British handover of Hong Kong. But critics regret loss of liberties during Beijing's rule despite commitments to the 'one country, two systems' policy. We hear from Hong Kong鈥檚 former Chief Executive, C.Y Leung, the 91热爆's Martin Yip, and former Chinese diplomat Victor Gao.

We also talk to local business owners in Hong Kong about the growing challenges they face since the introduction of the national security law.

We hear about the grim day global markets have had as FHN Financial's analyst Chris Low explains what is on investors' minds these days.

Vivienne Nunis is joined throughout the programme by Marketplace's senior reporter Andy Uhler, in Texas, and writer Rachel Cartland, who served in the Hong Kong government until 2006.
