A tit for tat over trade between Europe and China?

World Business Report

Available for over a year

EU tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles could backfire, after Chinese car companies called on their government to introduce import taxes on EU petrol cars, in response. Vishala Sri-Pathma dives into whether this is a sign of things to come. Elsewhere, we look at protests in Kenya over a slew of unpopular tax proposals. And we examine the prospects for closer economic ties between Russia and Vietnam after President Putin’s visit to Hanoi.
