China-US relations become even more tense – we assess why the world's two largest economies are locking horns again, and if it can be resolved any time soon. The world’s most valuable car firm, Tesla, and its enigmatic founder Elon Musk, have managed to stun expectations by continuing financial growth throughout the Covid 19 pandemic. We explore why some companies are banning Black Lives Matters face masks in the workplace.

All this is discussed with guests Erin Delmore, a political reporter based in New York, and Patrick Barta, Asia Enterprise Editor of the Wall Street Journal in Bangkok.
