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 levies so that they can buy agricultural products of beijing that cash trucks but that's a bit funny. china's a 12 trillion dollar economy they can obviously afford to buy more of 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 their 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 the 5 more than $5000000.00 jobs so in that sense it's non-trivial they do what they do. the 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 further 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 it was the only concrete things were the delay of these 15 tariffs and china buying products there was talk of you know agreements on currency. intellectual property and financial services but with without any details provided and again without anything signed so for them even for them to reach something concrete on that limited agenda by the apec summit in the vet member is it's going to they do need extra talks actually of course it's this deceptive tractor trade was weighing on both the the i.m.f. has just cottle's of growth forecast for the united states and it's sending out

a very sort of staunch warning saying that the situation was precarious there's no room for any mistakes what's the need for economies in asia so so there are 3 main effects one is that if you look at investment in there in the region it's already declined so in 8 of the 11 largest economies investments contribution to g.d.p. growth has declined in the 1st half of this year compared to last year a 2nd effect is obviously if china is getting hit they are selling less to china so this whole global as regional supply chain that countries are getting hit by that there is a silver lining however trade redirection so you do have many countries seeing their exports to the us increasing vietnam by 33 percent bangladesh by 14 percent so that's one of the others production redirection you have if the i flowing into these countries business is realize that this trade war is not going to go anytime soon and i would like to close with a silver lining. from the asian development bank thank you so much for your time
