the ongoing kopek 1000 pandemic and its destructive effect on the global economy a behind the scenes trouble is brewing. china's overseas sales were up 3.5 percent for the month of april that's according to the government in beijing who's official numbers are regularly touted by economists it may be a rise in exports of personal protective gear and other goods related to the pen demick that helps china's numbers but those effects may be short lived meanwhile economists expect trouble on the horizon for china and it is not because of the tension between beijing and washington he spat between nutrition and sheer ministration i don't think is terribly important what is much more important is the fact that it pulls of climate change has proved to be problematic and it motion issues will be looking at whether china in the medium and longer term can continue
