Meet in japan trade will of course top that of the agenda at that g 20 summit more specifically the ongoing trade conflict between china and the u. S. The 2 leaders trump and g. Have agreed to a bilateral meeting but it seems to be no resolution in sight heres an overview. This is the current status of the us china trade conflict. Washington has slapped 25 percent tariffs on nearly half of all imports from china. The levies now affect 250000000000. 00 worth of goods. And u. S. President on the trump is threatening to extend the tariffs to the rest of chinese imports. China has retaliated with counter tariffs beijing is charging extra duties on u. S. Goods worth some 110000000000. 00. The 2 countries are still negotiating but so far talks have been unable to resolve their dispute businesses and investors fear it could escalate and who will end up footing the bill will there be any winners each side is calling the other loser but so far one real loser is already evident global commerce. Thats why trade is expected to top the agenda at this weeks g. 20 meeting in osaka japan will trump and she find a way to diffuse the tension at their last meeting in december the 2 leaders announced a kind of truce which has notably failed. Bring in our correspondents. Remind us what is chinas stance for g. M. From me to the g 20 summit well chinese officials said that both sides will need to compromise and make some concessions but that doesnt mean china will be the 1st site to do so and we see how china shows its comic resilience in a trade war so that means the chinese trade negotiators will be able to take some tougher stance and according to one chinese think tank chinese economy spectate to grow by 6. 3 percent this year within the governments talking wrench between 6 to 6. 5 percent so they claim that the direct impact of the trade war is very limited in controllable so there is no way for china to give grounds to any agreement that is to go in the manner of 19th century on equal treaties so if the u. S. Tariffs on china how were trying to react. Well our experts in china have very different opinions some of them want beijing not to take any further we tell it to the measures because they think that china doesnt have enough ammunition china is running out of ammunition in this prolonged trade battle so its better to keep a low profile as they down to earth but they are also true hawks in china i think the other wait they believe they insist that the major economy like china shouldnt hide their intentions so the government should try their way to take harder line with any possible measures to win the tree war so if you say if you going to say that china can be more patient than the us. Yeah all from their economy performance ill say yes more and more experts in china they have the confidence that they might be able to win this trade battle. In taipei thank you very much. Thank you. Trade may dominate the atmosphere ahead of the g 20 but its just one of many topics in focus event head of meeting the Women PoliticalLeaders Summit is taking place in tokyo its hosted by the Japanese House of representatives and brings together female heads of heads of State Government ministers and parliamentarians from all over the world o. E. C. D. The world bank and others indicate that countries with more women in politics invest more in health and education they say all policy making could benefit from a more balanced leadership reporter. Is who womens Leadership Meeting in japan here lets talk about the host country there what role do women actually play in japans economy. Its actually very sad the role that women play in the japanese economy is quite small just to give you an example of all of the c. E. O. s in japan only 8 percent women you can compare that to the e. U. For example where the average is about 30 percent so you can see thats very little also if you look at the list of companies it drops to 4 percent if we look at the gender wage gap japan is one of the west in the o. E. C. D. Women a quarter less than their male counterparts and its not because women wouldnt start working at a young age where they just cannot work from the beginning its because if the women then work and then marry and get kids its very hard for them to get back into work so thats a major problem in the japanese economy. Society and japan like in many other industrialized societies is aging rapidly and women needed to fill the gaps that. They had definitely definitely needed thats the reason why are they actually introduced a policy a few years ago called womenomics where you try to get more women to worry. And numbers show that yes more women are working but the problem is what kind of work are they doing a lot of the women who have been again started working are working in part time jobs or working in lower paid positions which means it doesnt really contribute anything to gender equality and thats where of is also being criticized many people say that he basically sees working women as a means to an end the end being basically saving japans economy but he doesnt really care about inequality like where its going and thats why thats one of the big problems that the economy is facing there and i think the way to get actual gender equality in the japanese economy thats still very very long way to go is that actually. In society is that being discussed as a problem briefly. Yes it is actually discussed as a Problem Companies are forced to basically show how many women they employ there is a change going on but its very slow paced.
