麻豆约拍

President Xi has marked Shenzhen's 40th birthday as China's first special economic zone. Duncan Turner runs a venture capital business in the region and explains the significance of the designation. And we get wider context from Jeff Black, bureau chief for Bloomberg in Hong Kong. Also in the programme, Kampala-based journalist Charles Bwogi tells us how the government of Uganda has managed to actually increase revenues during the pandemic, partly through the country's 'over the top' tax, which is a charge on social media use. Entrepreneurship and setting up a new company is normally associated with risk-loving youth, but the 麻豆约拍's Dougal Shaw has been to meet some older people who have taken the plunge and started their own companies in recent months. Plus, our regular workplace commentator Alison Green offers tips on how to keep virtual work meetings productive and professional.
