Trump pressures China on trade and coronavirus

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

President Donald Trump says Hong Kong will no longer have privileged trade status - but just how far will he go - and what does it mean for US China relations? And he says the US will terminate its relationship with the World Health Organisation - the effect on the stock markets could emerge in the coming days, say our experts. We'll meet the ship's captain who's laid hundreds of thousands of kilometres of undersea data cables to ensure millions in Africa are better connected. Plus, we look at film and theatres as they adapt to working on location, to producing blockbusters at home. We discuss all this live with Colin Peacock from Radio New Zealand in Wellington.
