China hits back in trade war with US

China will impose new tariffs on some US imports from 1 June, extending the trade war.

China will impose new tariffs on some US imports from 1 June, extending the trade war. Simon Rabinovitz is Asia economics editor of The Economist in Shanghai, and assesses the likely impact of the move. Also in the programme, some airlines have been criticised for increasing fares dramatically ahead of two all-English European football cup finals in coming weeks. We try to understand the impact of 'dynamic pricing', with Dr Rob Horton of software systems specialists Black Curve, and Claudio Piga, professor of economics at the University of Keele. Plus our regular workplace commentator Heather McGregor encourages us to take time to thank the unsung heroes of our workplaces.
