China chokes on growth

Dense smog covers swathes of northern China, raising questions about its breakneck growth. Will British firms gain if the UK leaves the EU - and Lucy Kellaway on business jargon.

Dense smog covers swathes of northern China, raising questions about the country's breakneck growth and prompting widespread public anger. As Britain's Prime Minister prepares a major speech on the UK's future within the European Union, we ask if British firms will gain from an EU exit.

And our regular commentator Lucy Kellaway derides the latest business jargon.
