Critics accuse it of putting business interests ahead of human rights china is a multibillion dollar market for the company about 20 percent of its turnover is generated in the country this isnt the 1st time the us tech giant has taken action after falling afoul of beijing 2 years ago that removed a major v. P. N. Used to get around chinas internet censorship from its app store in the country prior to that it had pulled the New York Times out following a request from chinese authorities. U. S. And chinese officials today re commenced talks on a comprehensive trade deal more than one and a half years ago u. S. President on the tram said a trade war was good and easy to win ever since the whirls 2 top economies have been clashing at various stages of escalation hampering Global Growth along the way now theyre talking or taking another shot at resolving the dispute. Its the 13th rhyme just talks and once again the question on everyones mind is will they or wont they make a deal after a 15 month conflict that seen both sides impose hundreds of billions of dollars worth of tire of the stakes are high. America does not love imposing. In fact we would prefer not to use but after years of discussions the no tariff of only forcing a number of. Us to Pay Attention to our concerns. Both sides made some concessions in advance beijing rolled back tariffs on u. S. Pork and soybeans and in response the United States agreed to postpone the next steps of tariffs on china until the middle of this month. But then this week washington made a surprise move that cause consternation in beijing when it added 28 chinese firms it said were implicated in abusing the human rights of muslim minorities to a trade block list. She dont commit no such thing as the socalled human rights issue that the u. S. Side claimed its nothing but an excuse created by the u. S. To interfere in chinas internal affairs. But the tone on both sides less than conciliatory the odds of reaching agreement on thorny issues like intellectual property dont appear too favorable. And trade relations with the u. S. Are also a big topic here in europe our financial correspondent in frankfurt can tell us more. The e. U. Is taking the u. S. Off its tax haven blacklist does this have anything to do with the u. S. Wanting to impose tariffs on starting next week. One could actually see that connection because clearly the u. S. Had time until june to actually accomplish. What the e. U. Wanted from them in terms of like information and how they want to be opaque to the earth already 1 its all full in the European Union by the United States have failed to do so and would not be any other reason than to put them on that black list about now all of the sudden things have changed the European Union seems to be happy with what they got from the United States 72 and dont take them on that live so its clear there could be that connection between the looming terrorists because clearly without some sort of political horse trading began to see a tariff imposed on goods from the e. U. Going into the United States as soon as next week all right on a device but in frankfurt thank you so much. And you oxfam study sharply criticizes the working conditions on india steep plantations the organization to mount a law from the German Government to hold German Companies accountable for Human Rights Violations in their supply chains an issue that not only affects t. Produces to illness plantation in assam is being picked in record time more than half of indias t. V. Production comes from this region potato Organization Oxfam says many of the millions of indians working in the industry do so under a poorly in conditions around hof get ill because of polluted water whats more without protective clothing many are exposed to toxic pesticides and the pay is often terrible. A look at where the money for tea goes gives an indication why only 1. 4 percent of the price paid for a packet of assam tea in for example a german supermarket goes to work as in india produces exporters and importers each take their share and at the other end of the supply chain the retailers and supermarkets make huge profits more than 86 percent of the final price paid for the tea goes to them. Oxfam interviewed more than 500 people in here some plantations he says well parts of the world enjoy that cake many of the workers here are going hungry. For more im joined by. Oxfam expert on business and globalization and you are also the author of that study which reveals all those well pretty appalling situations we just learned about in this report did those findings come as a surprise to you in some ways yes because the case in the some of the really stream the grievances are very severe a quarter of the people right hunger on the plantations on the other hand the kind of Rights Violations that we see a typical for Food Production wherever you look at who the bananas are met in america tomatoes from europe or seafood from Southeast Asia the kind of Rights Violations you see in the way a similar wherever you look and. Its awesome an isolated case you know its very typical for the kind of problems that we see in supply chains of german and european retailers and brands thats why we think such a fundamental problem needs a fundamental solution which means a legal solution so that no company can try away from taking their responsibility to care for human rights and their supply chains i mean do companies i mean here germany we have sort of like a handful of big brands selling t. Do they actually know whats going on yes the Rights Violations and assignment in india have been documented for many many years they know it and they do a bit they tinker at the edges but theyre not prepared to look at the Business Practices at the core of their business but it doesnt work like that if you say because Business Practices cant change the price price that i pay to produce is going to be raised then sending them a letter saying oh but we care about human rights wont change the situation but what exactly what could they do practically making it more expensive will that help it would help if they pay more to produce us. A stark difference in shares what remains with the retailers and brands are what goes to work a show that there is enough money in the chain that could be redistributed we also think the retailer than the dam and companies cannot solve all problems in a sum but they can take care of the supply of that supply them and they need to have a more systematic approach to human rights to diligence in their supply chains looking where the risks what would be effective measures and what would be grievance mechanisms so that workers can actually report to companies if their rights are violated and what about consumers i buy a lot of tea here in german supermarkets what can i do for consumers its almost impossible to know whether the tea that they buy has been produced under humane conditions if you go to supermarket and you look at their picketing it looks very nice the you see happy faces of people packing the tea you see beautiful landscapes and you get information on the supply chain for example on a package of tea from india it says made in germany wait a minute maybe in german the electee from india so for a consumer its impossible thats why we say its not so much in your Consumption Patterns its also in the action that you take just try to go to your store manager where the local shop where you where you buy with the retailer and ask him what did you know how you are sure ok that sounds quite complex but is probably was doing but as it was i know there are some experts thank you so much for your time thank you.
