China is worth more than full 1000000000. 00 and there are more basketball fans in china as well than in the u. S. Meaning both sides have plenty to lose from a protracted fight. There are only a few thing a few other things that business around the world want ask quickly resolved as the u. S. China trade war now in various stages of escalation its been hampering Global Economic growth for over a year talks to find a solution have been dragging on as well on thursday both sides want to give it another shot but washingtons latest move doesnt seem to help. The timing couldnt be worse the u. S. Targets 28 chinese firms in its new blacklist this week but says it has nothing to do with the trade talks with beijing on thursday washington alleges the companys helped china suppress ethnic and mostly muslim minorities in what amounts to a police state and she jiang and beijing has issued a stern rebuke. Me phone there is no such thing as the socalled human Rights Problem as alleged by the United States he accusation is nothing but a deliberate pretext created by the United States to interfere in chinas internal affairs. For its part the u. S. Says it keeps human rights and economic concerns separate but it is reported to have previously shelved releasing information that would have shown a light on chinese abuses for fear of derailing negotiations the decision to announce the allegations this week has done little to ease tensions between the worlds 2 largest economies. For more on the story lets cross over to taipei and d. W. Correspondent william yang this all sounds like a pretty bad start to these negotiations on thursday beijing already has voiced its stark. You know quite angry about this move and its hard to envision that this sentiment doesnt spill over into the talks. Yeah exactly so Chinas Ministry of commerce have also asked the u. S. To mediately stop making irresponsible remarks and remove all Chinese Companies from the list of entities and some media reports have also pointed out that the chinese delegation is planning to cut short of their stay in washington so these are all make the prospects of this new round of trade talk beat bleaker than we have expected this is the 1st time since may that the u. S. And china will hold negotiations in its in their trade dispute what lies at the heart of these talks. So right now both sides are at odds over chinas willingness to fulfill its earlier promises and the u. S. Attempt to infringe on economic sovereignty so china wants the u. S. To lift all punitive terrorists while the u. S. Wants china to suspend its a subsidy to chinese businesses and also strictly enforce ip protection so there are a couple of factors that might potentially complicate these negotiations you mentioned a couple there how the experts assess the likelihood of both sides actually reaching a deal which theyve been aiming for for months now yeah so despite the fact that the u. S. Government launched a series of attacks against the chinese businesses and government officials experts believe that china is actually still placing orders over u. S. Energy and Agricultural Products so if the u. S. Government is able to delayed the planned tariff hike next week then there is still the possibility that both sides can reach a mini deal by the end of this round of the trade talk china and the United States commenced their negotiations in their trade war on thursday do you believe or responded really and yang reporting from taipei william thank you.

M. F. Expects Many Companies to fail 1000. 00 trillion dollars of corporate debt could then be at risk of default the fund is especially urging strong economies like germany the netherlands and south korea to increase Government Spending to help boost demand and stimulate growth but says that kind of stimulus is not appropriate for all countries because so many already have record high levels of public debt. All of those. Financial correspondent paul frank for strong words there from the new i. M. F. Head is exaggerating. Well she doesnt know what shes talking about since shes an economist by training unlike your predecessor and if you look at it the situation has really changed a lot since 2017 when 75 percent of the world was directed in growth and strong decline or continuing decline ever since then it just seems that the world needs a little wake up call and that shes not alone in her assessment as well other economists believe so for example the new president of the world bank who just gave a similar speech warning about the slowdown of growth the world Bank Actually sees 2900. 00 as the worst year in in 3 years interesting that both of them focused on nontrade aspects to combat this however theyre not putting their their their hopes on trade participants the idea being that more Government Spending towards pro growth and tax.
