US outlines strategy to counter Beijing

Big Boss Interview

Available for over a year

The US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has outlined America's strategy to counter what he says is China's threat to the international order. In a major speech, he said the US is not seeking a 'cold war' with Beijing - only to ensure that international rules are followed. We also hear about Russia's central bank's cut to interest rates. Elsewhere, Apple has increased pay for its retail staff amid cost of living increases and a tight labour market. Sam Fenwick is joined by Diane Brady, Assistant Managing Editor of Forbes in New York, and Sushma Ramachandran, an independent business journalist in Delhi.
