China unveils plans for tighter regulation of the economy

BBC World Service - World Business Report, China unveils plans for tighter regulation of the economy

China's five-year plan has already impacted the technology and education sectors

China's five-year plan has already impacted the technology and education sectors.

China has announced a plan to tighten regulation of its economy. The five-year plan is seen by some as a further crackdown on the tech sector by Beijing. 
China has already started targeting the technology and education industries. We ask Dr Sara Hsu, visiting scholar at Fudan University, to analyse the new plans. In the UK the latest GDP figures show growth of 4.8 % for the quarter between April and June. However, the British economy is still 4.4% smaller than it was before the pandemic. Kyle Monk from the British Retail Consortium tells us how the reopening of the retail sector has impacted growth figures. And neurodiversity is an umbrella term referring to conditions including autism and dyslexia. The BBC's Elizabeth Hotson investigates how employers are responding to the needs of their neurodiverse employees.
