China's currency policy and information overload

Business Daily

Available for over a year

A report from China on its currency policy. The United States says its holding the rate with the dollar too low so China is exporting unemployment, but will the policy of Beijing change? Chris Hogg met movers and shakers at a big conference on Hainan island south of Hong Kong. And Lucy Kellaway muses succinctly on information overload. Plus a Ghanaian who went to Britain to run a marathon and stayed to run a bar. Why he didn't tell his mother. Is it a dream job or not?
