China fights back

World Business Report

Available for over a year

China says it will “fight to the end” amid fears of a tariff war with the US. Devina Gupta presents from Delhi and looks at the reaction to President Trump threatening fresh tariffs on China. Can China look to the EU instead? We talk to the European Commission to ask if trade relations between the two could now thaw. Plus, with a declining fertility rate, South Korea’s government is looking to increase immigration, despite it being a widely unpopular policy.
