If a proposal recognises its stand—alone intrinsic value. In other news — donald trump has been laying out his economic plans should he become president. Trump repeated calls to cut taxes and regulation and is earmarking a governmentjob for controversial billionaire elon musk. Here is ritika gupta with the latest. The main highlight of donald trump's address was a push to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% for companies that make their products here in the us. This would be a big reduction from the current rate of 21%. A key policy victory from trump's own 2017 tax law set to expire in 2025. Now, while a 15% corporate rate would be a big win for large us companies, it would also contribute to rising deficits. It means big companies would end up paying far lower rates than smaller, privately held businesses, where rates can be as high as 37%. His proposal is in stark contrast to his rival, kamala harris, who has called to raise the corporation tax to 28%. Trump's proposals also include an idea from tesla ceo elon musk to create a government efficiency commission. This would be to eliminate wasteful federal spending — a shot at the biden—harris administration's spending levels. I will create a government efficiency commission tasked with conducting a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government, and making recommendations for drastic reforms. We need to do it. Can't go on the way we are now. And elon, because he's not very busy, has agreed to head that task force. This comes as both trump and harris are ramping up their efforts to court swing state voters as well as business executives in an election where the economy is a dominant issue. Later on friday, the us will release a crucialjobs report. Data out on thursday showed private employers hired the fewest workers in 3. 5 years in august. There are concerns that signals a sharp slowdown in the labour market.

Plenty more analysis on why the jobs data matters so much on our website. China's president xijinping has promised to step up support for africa with $51 billion over three years. The money will go towards infrastructure projects and the creation of at least one million jobs. Least one millionjobs. President xi made the announcement at a gathering of 50 african nations in beijing for the china—africa co—operation summit. Eric olanderfrom the china global south project told me the forum has largely been a success. Imagine it by dollars is really the wrong way in part because the wrong way in part because the sums that they announce at each of these folkiacs there's no mechanism to verify on delivering it but there's much more important to look at the substance of these meetings, the consistency of them and this is what different is china from europe and the united states from other partners, every three years, they have these meetings and they're very important to stabilising in this increasingly vital geopolitical relationship. Given china's current economic struggles, are they able to afford these bri initiatives that they seem so keen to push? they are. Let's not forget china is a — a $14 trillion economy. So the amount of money that we're talking about ol kating to places like africa is rather insignificant in the larger scheme of things —— allocating. A lot of the money in this new package is going to be in the form of credits which will be diverted to chinese companies. So in many respects, this is not going to be the type of sovereign loans that we saw in the past to build large—scale infrastructure projects in after catchment those days are gone. This is now part of the new small is beautiful era which is the evolution of the belt and road to reflect the new realities both in terms of environment and debt sustainability. So both in terms of environment and debt sustainability. 50 iii and debt sustainability. So if ou're and debt sustainability. So if you're saying _ and debt sustainability. So if you're saying that _ and debt sustainability. So if you're saying that this and debt sustainability. So if you're saying that this money is going to bach towards chinese companies that are working in these african nations, how much of a benefit do the people in these african nations really benefit? nations really benefit? they'll benefit from _ nations really benefit? they'll benefit from more _ nations really benefit? they'll. Benefit from more engagement nations really benefit? they'll benefit from more engagement of chinese corporate actors. This is no different to what the european union and the united states does with their own name when the us ships go over from ohio to africa, that's mostly for the corn farmers in ohio, not necessarily for the africans themselves. So in this respect, china's no different to any of any other major actors. But what we do see again — this is why it's important to pull away from the numbers and look at the breadth of the engagement — xi talked about security, agriculture and jobs and reflect add lot of african priorities in that speech which i think again shows an evolution of the relationship being more balanced than it was ten years ago.
