other asian economies i'm joined by our director of the mocker economic research division of the asian development bank so good to have you with us let's start 1st of all with this latest development what do you make of china asking the u.s. to be rolling back levies so that they can buy agricultural products of beijing that cash strapped it's a bit funny. china's a 12 trillion dollar economy they can obviously afford to buy more of a cultural products if they want what is true and what's maybe not so funny is that the trade the trade war has really had an impact on the chinese economy and our asian development all of that that came out 2 weeks ago our estimate is that the tariffs currently in place have already of will impact china by. taking away about $80000000000.00 and of g.d.p. and about 3 or 5 more than $5000000.00 jobs so in that sense it's non-trivial they do what they do want the terror. it's rolled back just
