china has published figures that reveal the huge effect of the corona virus on its trade with the rest of the world chinese exports were down more than 17 percent and imports fell 4 percent during january and february compared with the same period a year ago china has also seen a record decline in manufacturing output resulting from factory closures less than half the plants that were closed were back up and running at the start of march food imports to china are also sharply. and for more about the financial impact of the coronavirus i'm joined by clifford could've from. business thanks for being here how damaging is all this for the chinese economy and i think it's extremely damaging it's the 1st real insight that we've had into the impact of the coronavirus on what is the world's 2nd biggest economy and i think it's shows that because exports of particular trajan that is the lifeblood of the chinese economy it's been extremely badly affected by what's
12:10 pm
been going on with the virus and it puts all kinds of pressures on different areas of the economy now. china is often called the world's factory if the coronavirus were to just disappear overnight would the world economy be back in business immediately or would be nice to be able to say that it would be nick but i think it's more a question that it's going to be. they will have to get the factories back up and running and there's a lot of pressure in china to do this at the moment some people are saying it's too soon they're trying to get the factories back up and running too quickly also the chinese economy has diversified a lot in recent years so the domestic market is still very important but overall i think you're going to see another effect later in the year because obviously people have to in other countries have to buy what's produced in chinese factories so you're going to see the impact of the slowdown overseas also impacting on the chinese economy gleg time and exactly yes that we could we could be a way off yet ok and what are the political ramifications for politics in china
12:11 pm
well i think this is this is a big big ramifications for the communist party and the social contract is that it has to provide growth and you know its support is very important particularly among the rising middle class in china they're being very badly affected by this so there's a lot of impacts for how the how they've come as a party itself will actually ultimately deal with it has to deal with in an effective way if those things don't do what they're supposed to if those measures don't do. what they're supposed to do then it's going to be a problem for the commies are talking to the communist party have a president xi jinping what about his destiny as he is untouchable as he was before well it's interesting you mean we saw him at the beginning he kept a very low profile on this and then suddenly we're seeing pictures of my everywhere in the in health facilities and things i thought so clearly he his destiny is very much tied to this corona virus and that could have a huge political impact ok very interesting thanks for that cliff couldn't from
