Coronavirus and the Chinese economy

Available for over a year

As the Chinese government steps up attempts to stop the spread of the coronavirus, just how seriously is the health crisis affecting China's economy? We hear from Stephanie Studer, China business correspondent for the Economist magazine Ahead of Ireland's general election this weekend we look at how housing and regeneration has become a hot topic; house prices soared when the big tech giants arrived and now there's a lack of affordable homes. We delve into the substance around the rumours that Saudi Arabia could be eyeing up English Football club Newcastle United. And as Uber releases its latest financial results, we ask why its share price is up when it's still making a loss. Plus, we're joined throughout the programme by two guests on opposite sides of the world; Jyoti Malhotra, editor of National and Strategic Affairs of the Print Website in Delhi and Paddy Hirsch, contributing editor of National Public Radio, who's in Los Angeles.
