Bejing celebrates 70 years of communist rule. But a day of grief in Hong Kong as a protester is hit by a live bullet, further inflaming passions on the streets, showing a tale of two cities. Plus, what are the hazards of corporate spying? A Credit Suisse chief falls on his sword after admitting he hired an investigator to spy on a former colleague. And finally, stores are seemingly so desperate to sell us products, they’re offering loans on things like sneakers and sweaters. We speak about all this with expert guests David Kuo, chief executive of the Motley Fool in Singapore, and business journalist and author Diane Brady, who's in New York.
