well more about the financial impacts of corunna i'm joined by cliff and co in china expert and from the business desk live at thanks so much. containment of the virus still seems quite a way off with saying you think as every day how markets reacting to this well markets don't like us for sure they're there china's been such an engine of growth for the global economy for so many years this has been the timing and the impact of the coronavirus has been disastrous for china there are signs that number of new infections is dropping has occasionally bored the markets during the week we saw the bus but there's still a sense that as we saw with these export figures and import figures trade is trade is still in a very bad way and this is huge in pretty implications everywhere we also had german figures this week which showed just how reliant germany is on on china so containment is more than just about the virus it's also about containment of the damage to the global economy and that's in a very difficult position right now and of course the supply chain is

a knock on effect of course so governments to try and counter that effect are rolling out stimulus packages is that the way to go it seems to be something that stephanie welcomes in the markets to try and spend the way out of trouble certainly to help contain the virus to put in best into finding some way of keeping economies ticking over while this there are so many unknowns about the coronavirus that governments are looking for anything they can to try and keep a lid on things so it seems to be. best a sensible approach anyway what about the political ramifications i sort of mean more domestically people who are people in china losing faith in their later well i think people remember back to sars in 2003 when the government tried to hide this and. that didn't go down very well domestically now we're seeing with the with the coronavirus thought there were signs that initially they tried to do it but that they did try to hide things but now we're seeing more that. the chinese government
