Signs of life in China's economy

Available for over a year

We take the temperature of China's economy amid signs it is sputtering back into life. Herbert Lun is chief executive of Wing Sang Electrical in Shenzhen, and tells us how business is going. Meanwhile Benjamin Speyer, chief executive of technology consultancy Serica says that whilst restrictions have been lifted in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak, there are still barriers to trade. Also in the programme, the BBC's Rahul Tandon reports from India on fears that up to 100 million migrant labourers in the country are at risk of starvation, under the coronavirus lockdown that began there earlier this week. We examine the toll on the mental health of those providing care in this pandemic. Plus, the BBC's Victoria Craig discusses her search for silver linings in the challenging situation we all face, and we hear from Dina Martins, co-owner of the Portuguese Love Affair cafe in east London, which is doing its part to lend the community a helping hand and a hot meal.
