China Shares Tumble on Growth Concerns

World Business Report

Available for over a year

With signs of panic on the Chinese stock market, we assess the implications. Also, we find out why the price of black pepper is at an all time high. And, Simon Tulett has been talking to small businesses who say their trade is being threatened by new sales tax laws that were designed to target big firms like Amazon and Apple. Plus, our regular commentator Lucy Kellaway tells us why being married to a billionaire apparently is not just about the money. (Picture: Shanghai bourse. Credit: AFP)
