BBC World Service - Business Matters, China's shares slump on coronavirus and Ukraine war

China's stocks see their lowest point in years

The cost of living continues to increase - we speak with the head of economic statistics at the UK's Office of National Statistics, Sam Beckett. Meanwhile, Chinese stocks plummet on Ukraine and Russia's war, and coronavirus, says US shares expert Peter Jankovskis in the US. Plus, we speak with Roman Waschuk, a businessman who fled Ukraine and is now residing in Poland, about how businesses are adapting to the invasion. Plus, the BBC's James Clayton updates us on the latest on the technology companies withdrawing operations from Russia. We discuss all this live with Patrick Barta, Asia Enterprise Editor for the Wall Street Journal in Asia and Alison Schrager, Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute in New York. Produced by Nisha Patel and Faarea Masud.
