as the trade dispute escalated with another round of julian as the trade dispute escalated with another round ofjulian tariffs on $16 billion worth of each country's goods. as part of our trade week special, we look at how the dispute is threatening the entire world. beijing levied tariffs on us pork in april and is threatening to increase those. some countries like brazil, one of the world's top port exporting nations, is hoping to gain new markets from these trade wars but things aren't as simple as they seem. daniel gallas reports from southern brazil. competition is fierce in global pork markets, and there's one country with a huge appetite, china. it is such a tough market, tariffs have the power to disrupt competition and some eventually lose out. this year the biggest loser is said to be the us, which faces hefty tariffs that china is imposing on us pork. other countries are now scrambling to take

over that share. some countries like the idea of the trade war. take producers in brazil, pig farmers in this region of the country want to more than double their production in the next ten years but they don't have enough consumers so a trade war between two other countries is an opportunity to gain new markets. growing labour and land costs in china are driving up imports. in recent yea rs, china are driving up imports. in recent years, it overtookjapan and is now the world's biggest pork meat importer. but not everyone is convinced that trade wars are good or even easy to wind. this man runs one of brazil's biggest pork exporters. he says chinese tariffs on us soy beans are forcing up global prices, including in brazil, so it means brazilian pigs are more expensive and less competitive. translation: these trade wars seem

at first glance to be beneficial to brazil, but on second thoughts, we export commodities but import many things. machines, raw materials that are becoming more expensive. the truth is, in the end no one really winds. -- wins. producers have ambitious plans for the future but most here say they would rather see fewer tariffs and win trade wars with only good old—fashioned win trade wars with only good old —fashioned competition. win trade wars with only good old—fashioned competition. daniel gallas, bbc news, brazil. alibaba has gallas, bbc news, brazil. aliba ba has once gallas, bbc news, brazil. alibaba has once again beat a nalysts' alibaba has once again beat analysts‘ expectations, revenue rising more than 60% in its latest earnings report but its delivery business continues to weigh in on profits. most folks associate alibaba with e—commerce, and its recent acquisition, but did you know it is involved in other areas as well? for example, its cloud service

is rapidly growing but still lags behind the competition from amazon and microsoft in market share. it‘s all so into digital media through its real—time online bidding marketing exchange, and it is even in entertainment, producing and distributing movies through various content platforms. earlier i asked a nalyst content platforms. earlier i asked analyst ray wong from conservation research in silicon valley how much longer they can suffer losses. research in silicon valley how much longer they can suffer lossesm could be a bit longer because they are still trying to expand into africa with cloud technology, europe, the middle east as well. they are trying to expand into parts of asia so there‘s still build out. in the same way people ask how long it took amazon to build their infrastructure, three to five years, i would say it will take time, probably 24—36 months to build the into structure they need to get to the same level of scale, because they have the same level of

potential. alibaba has deep pockets, but was it the right strategy to get into brick and mortar stores by buying hema? especially for the markets they are in, hema and the delivery side are very important for them and we‘re not seeing the traditional on the channel model, but bricks and stores to begin the conversation, some purchases are happening by online return in—store. they work hand—in—hand if you can manage the model. we‘re seeing that as an opportunity for both amazon and alibaba. ray wong from silicon valley. the talk of the town this week has been the release of the movie crazy rich asians. it stars and all asian cast, a first for a hollywood movie in nearly three decades. after talks, topping the us box office last weekend, it opened in asia this week. the film has already raked in

some ways is injest. there‘s an interpretation of the title that is less provocative than one might think. if ever there's a sequel it is entitled china rich girlfriend and it has to be filmed in china?m is true. the sequel takes place in china are often with this director and we hope that makes china a bigger part of the story. everyone in hollywood talks about the issues of whitewashing and gender bias, john, what about the likes of co nsta nce wu john, what about the likes of constance wu and michelle yeo, do they have higher paid than henry golding? know, in facti they have higher paid than henry golding? know, in fact i think everybody understood that this was a moment to celebrate and all asian cast —— higher pay —— no. everyone will reap the benefits. john penotti, one of the producers of the blockbuster hit crazy rich asians. in other business news, saudi arabia has denied reports it
