Former Chinese Premier Li Keqiang, whose tenure was often eclipsed by the towering presence of President Xi Jinping, passed away at the age of 68.

Li’s death marks the end of an era for Chinese politics and raises questions about the future of leadership in the world’s most populous nation.

Li Keqiang served as Premier of the State Council from 2013 to 2023, presiding over a period of economic growth and technological advancement. However, his time in office was largely overshadowed by Xi Jinping, who consolidated power and emerged as the dominant figure in Chinese politics.

Despite his subdued role, Li played a crucial part in managing China’s economy and overseeing key policies, including the country’s response to the global economic challenges. His pragmatic approach and focus on economic stability earned him respect both domestically and internationally.

As China mourns the loss of a leader who navigated the complexities of Chinese politics with finesse, the world watches closely to see how his passing will impact the balance of power within the Chinese Communist Party. #featured

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
