A lets do business american great microsoft could save the day for ticktock fads its in talks with the chinese owners of the app to buy the service in the u. S. Canada australia and new zealand the deal could stave off a president ial bad by ensuring user data stays in the u. S. Office life today would be unthinkable without microsoft word and x. L. But so far the worlds leading Software Producer hasnt ventured significantly into social media that however could be about to change. U. S.

Government trump wants to curb their aging influence in the United States and along with other Chinese Companies by dumps is under pressure to talk in the current format because it risks. Information on a 100000000 americans however if a u. S. Company were to take over tick tocks business in the United States the app could continue to have a future there and microsoft could stand to benefit. By one of those doggy telephones but 1st lets go over to conrad and hes standing by for us in frankfurt things around the world have built their businesses on this platform whats going to happen. Well if microsoft and buy downs agree on the deal some of the uses of take talk namely the us uses canadian uses trains and new zealanders would lose access to a large part of their audience namely the people here in europe who are using take talk and also of course talk users in africa and asia because the systems would be divided and its inconceivable right now how you can maintain access to the Global Community of ticktock uses if the service is managed separately in terms of the negotiations the Companies Microsoft and by towns have been given 45. 00 days by the u. S. Government to negotiate a deal all this under the scrutiny of syfy a switch is the committee on Foreign Investments in the United States its in charge of making sure such deals do not threaten the National Security of the u. S. Really briefly conrad how much is this about the talk and how much is this about the u. S. And china well this is of course are all due to the efforts of the u. S. Government to play tough with china and its likely that talk is not going to remain the only company more companies are going to be targeted contribution in frankfurt. H. S. B. C. Says pretax profits plummeted 65 percent in the 1st half year on year the head of europes biggest bank blames both the coronavirus and spiraling tensions between china and the us a lot of bass land and does most of its business in asia with china and hong kong driving growth. Chinese factory activity is up manufacturing in july how many along quite nicely at its fastest pace in nearly a decade a private Business Survey shows the growth came on the back of domestic demand and is the spike we get for 4 years and then plummet the stronger than expected numbers raise hopes that chinas economy is bouncing back faster than expected from the covert 19 pandemic. And lets go over the 2 to one whom hes chief Investment Officer for europe at Deutsche BankWealth Management in china has been the main Pillar Holding up Global Growth for years now and its great to see the domestic economy coming back to life but the rest of the world its customer has a stock in recession just what sort of a rebound are we seeing in china would you say yes what we have seen already was 2nd quarter being one of the stronger and we think this should continue into the 2nd half actually china is one of the very few countries we are expecting the g. D. P. Number to rebound 229000 levels by end of this year and china should be one of the very few who should even be able to pause a slight increase in g. D. P. Compared to many other countries. In this world so you reckon china can do a good job in helping cushion the pandemics blow to world growth. Absolutely because what china has been doing over the past few years is of course its less dependent on exports so far compared to lets say 10 or 15 years ago and also its strength and its service and. Consumption sector to an extent now that both takes us on the responsible for more than 50 percent of total g. D. P. So the domestic consumption is much more important now than external exports but also the exports are also now going into the asian region which also help to cushion this global weakness what we are currently up serving now of course every dollar ever you want counts at this point in time but what does beijings financial firepower do to International Competition i think they still have one of the biggest pocket if you call like this if you look at if you look at their treasury reserve is still in the 1000000000 and trillions base so hence there is still a lot of reserve we could also see now china really being supportive of the economy and we expect this to continue if the economy would weaken but this is not our base in our area at this point in time but all that support are we going to see more resistance do you think through chinese corporate takeovers from europe i mean its not only from europe is also from us i think you just mentioned about this so of course on this front we are definitely seeing a little bit more tension on the road turner thank you very much for your analysis.
