麻豆约拍

The White House announces trade sanctions against China for allegedly stealing American ideas, but is the administration badly out of step with American business? We speak to Dr Meredith Crowley, an international trade economist at the University of Cambridge, and Dr. Cary Leahey of Decision Economics tells us about the market reaction to the news. Also in the programme, there have been widespread strikes in France in protest at President Macron's economic reforms. Geoffrey Roux de Bezieux is vice president of the employers association MEDEF, and offers us his organisation's perspective, plus we hear from Rubin Sfadj of the libertarian research group, Generation Libre. Plus we hear how Taiwan has taken recycling to a whole new level. And it's emerged that new passports being issued after Britain leaves the European Union will be made by a French firm. We get reaction from a British cafe owning living in France and journalist Matthew Parris.
