US looks to step up economic action against China

BBC World Service - Business Matters, US looks to step up economic action against China

US China Trade war seems to be re-emerging.

We take a look at the deteriorating US - China relationship over coronavirus and accusations from the White House of a China cover-up. A trade war between the two countries seems to be re-emerging.

Also - one hedge fund manager tells us that coronavirus pandemic has raised questions about the future world order and the role of capitalism in it.

We travel to Brazil where the country's president Jair Bolsanaro, who has previously compared the virus to ‘just a flu,’ has said the worst of the crisis is over - despite the country just seeing its largest ever daily increase in death toll.

How do you run a film awards ceremony in coronavirus times? We visit Hong Kong to find out.

Plus, we remember Florian Schneider of Kraftwerk, who died at the age of 73. Martyn Ware of Heaven 17 and Human League tells us about his memories of the godfather of electronic music and a man who still influences today's artists.

Presenter Sasha Twining is joined by guests Yoko Ishikura in Japan and Saadia Muzaffar in Canada
