talks aimed at resolving the country's longstanding trade dispute it is the mind's time of the two sides meeting to ion out their differences u.s. treasury secretary stephen menuhin described the last set as constructive prompting hopes that a resolution could be close but at a republican fundraising event last night u.s. president to donald trump continued to talk tough. john chronic trading abuses and theft of intellectual properties and so many other things that they've done tours i don't know how you people allowed this to happen for so many years you've been here longer than me but they really have they've taken advantage of our country. and you know what i respect them for i say it we should have been doing that to them. i was donald trump talking last night meanwhile the global economy is coming under evermore strain the words trade organization warns that world's trade growth is slowing at an alarming rate blaming political instability caused by the us china trade and the mayhem surrounding brics it and the w t o isn't the only body sounding the alarm. the world's leading financial institutions say the global economy is in a delicate position that it needs handling with care the international monetary fund says the trade conflict between the us and china is to blame specifically we have looked at what might happen if tariffs on all goods traded between the u.s. and china went up by twenty five percentage point point that would entail a reduction of g.d.p. of point six percent for the united states. and one point five percent for china. do the math. it was a self-inflicted wounds that should be avoided in regards messages clearly aimed at american and chinese trade representatives in the weeks now they've been trying to find a solution to their simmering trade conflict the clock is ticking and international economists hope the trumpet ministration will heed the warning. now despite the i.m.f. warnings there is some good news to figures from the asian development bank shows asian economies posted steady growth in twenty eighteen despite many challenges however growth in the continent is expected to soft and to five point seven percent next year largely due to the trade dispute between the us and china a growth in china is expected to slow further to six point three percent in twenty nine thousand and six point one percent in twenty twenty apart from the us china trade dispute which weighs on exports another factor for slowing growth is beijing's attempt to stop the real estate sector from overheating now in the are on the other hand is said to see growth pick up as consumption strengthens rebounding to seven point two percent in twenty nine thousand and seven point three percent in twenty twenty southeast asia will sustain growth at close to five percent this year and next and here the asian development bank expects a stronger domestic demand to offset weaker export growth and for more on all of that i am joined now by yasser yuki chief economist at the asian development bank very good to have you with us many say the future is asia while the west is stagnating doomed to decline what is your take on that. don't think current situation is not necessary to. china or other asian countries sort of dominating the west but rather what is happening are two things first. you know western country european countries as well as the us and japan already reached a high income high income economy not too dirty and saw dollar grows. on the other hand developing asian countries are catching up process to these advanced economy so this is the one process of our expansion of global economy secondly i count i'd like to point out global economy currently so much interconnected so. growth momentum asia also supports the economy's growth and in turn grow. grows support by country also benefit the. asian countries are mutually reinforcing because going on that's what we stand corrected. when you when you mention interconnected economies we of course know it here the chinese growth is slowing the way out not just because of the the trade dispute how big an impact does the slowing growth in china have on asia as a whole. so again in global economy as well as with the asia economy china and other asian countries are so much interconnect that from goods and services trade as well as a few not sure into connecticut so chinese growth and that's really a lease to us or down or other junk countries. in this but. in china chinese exports roll down to the us markets can be potentially captured by other asian countries all reet trade reduction effect can soften negative spiral of effect generated by chinese a grocer down now the asian development bank predicts in its latest report today a growth in asia will drop further until twenty twenty why twenty twenty what's happening then. so we usually. release a make a new release two years price on the short horizon rather surprising within two years so that's why we need this up to twenty twenty and in this wise old we can make a reasonable prediction unfocussed according to this group or current environment group or business cycle now to that was the certainly don't what and why or if young growth rate is has been moderating from point one seven percent this year and five point six percent next year all right yes so you keep chief economist at the asian development bank speaking to us from hong kong thank you so much for your time. thank you. south korea is getting ready to usher in the next generation of hyper fast commune
