a thread of your to. go through point of a more on the impact of this protracted trade war is having on china as well as other asian economies i'm joined by our director of the mocker economic research division at 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 the levies so that they can buy agricultural products beijing that cash strapped but that's a bit funny to all the 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 i think 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 5 more than $5000000.00 jobs so in that sense it's non-trivial they do what they do want to tariffs rolled back just a postponement of the tariffs today was not is not enough and if china needs basically this trade war to end rather sooner than later why do they insist on the talks there was an understanding reached over the weekend well i mean further talks are needed because even the understanding reached over the weekend is really rather limited i mean what if it was the only concrete things were the delay if these october 15th tariffs and china buying products there was talk of you know agreements on currency. intellectual property and financial services but without any details provided and again without anything signed so for then even for them to reach something concrete that limited agenda by the apec summit in the vet member

is realize that this trade wars not going to go in a time soon i would like to close 3 with the silver lining. we had from the asian development bank thank you so much for your time thank you. a surging crisis caused by a widespread outbreak of swine fever have driven up china's inflation in september overall inflation was up 3 percent mostly on the back of a double digit percentage increase in food costs the prize of pork roast 70 percent a hefty rise for a country where pork is the most popular meat the government has released of pork supplies from its central reserves to stabilize prices and has raised import quotas from the u.s. . meanwhile australia for the 1st time has counseled a tourist visa over under cleared food including several kilograms of pork that as the country tries to keep itself free of african swine fever. the 45 year old woman
