Trade Talks Continue in Beijing

Available for over a year

US-China trade talks have restarted in Beijing, but what's driving the American delegation? We're joined by Eva Hampl, Senior Director at the United States Council for International Business. We’ll also have a report from Serbia on the impact of Chinese investment in the country. Also in the show, World Bank President Jim Yong Kim has made the surprise announcement that he is stepping down after six years in the post. We speak with Scott Morris, senior fellow at the Center for Global Development and director of the US Development Policy Initiative, on Dr. Kim's legacy and the future of the World Bank. And our regular workplace commentator Alison Green mulls over whether passive aggression is a sensible strategy for dealing with problems at the office. All through the show we’ll be joined by Dr. Cathy O’Neil, a mathematician focussing on artificial intelligence and algorithms, and Asit Biswas, Distinguished Visiting Professor at the Lee Kuan Yew School in Singapore.
