Last week, Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad was in China for a five-day official visit at China's Premier Li Keqiang's invitation.

The visit is special because Dr Mahathir is returning to China as Prime Minister after a 17-year gap.

We go behind the scenes of this trip with Leslie Lau who was part of the press group that followed the Prime Minister to China.

Leslie shared with us his take on the trip and his observations on the ground.

The media veteran gets frank about the media business and how the industry has evolved over the past 25 years he has been a journo.
