BBC Radio 4 - The Bottom Line, Changing China

How will shifts in China's economic policies affect global commerce?

How will shifts in China's economic policy - away from high global exports towards more domestic consumption and technological innovation - affect global commerce?

How will shifts in China's economic policies affect global commerce? The nation is the world's second-biggest economy and it's been the centre of globalised manufacturing for over three decades. But after a global pandemic, an energy crisis and now war in Ukraine, is this going to change? Already, President Xi Jinping has plans to move away from the reliance on global trade towards expanding domestic consumption, alongside targets for encouraging innovation in technology and artificial intelligence.
