but 1st. you know why i do what. i do want to deal with what they did. i don't want to go right ok. and that of course is u.s. president donald trump responding to a question on trade talks with china and this is your business report i'm stephen beardsley in berlin donald trump on tuesday casting doubt on the fate of a trade deal with china the president saying in the same briefing that he had canceled the talks and just the day before his top trade advisor peter navarro said that the initial phase one deal struck in january was quote unquote on track the tensions between the u.s. and china have grown in recent weeks with washington singling out chinese firms doing business in the u.s. including to talk over by dance we chat. and another firm singled out by washington huawei world's leading manufacturer of 5 g. network here the u.s. campaign seeks to have allies around the world dump the supplier for security

reasons europe has become the focal point of that campaign in particular. in the high tech city of shenzhen where huawei is headquartered 5 g. is already a reality chinese state television runs footage of transmission mass under construction always become the world's largest network your supplier and was planning to supply its kit for 5 g. networks around the world but the u.s. has banned its companies from doing business with while away much to the annoyance of officials in beijing. the u.s. has done shows clearly that the market economy and fair competition principle it claims to champion is nothing but a fig leaf. this practice violates the rules of international trade disrupts global supply chains and will inevitably damage america's national interests and image washington is calling on the world to make a decision against china last week u.s. secretary of state mike pump aoe terje europe on call for

a while wait to be banned from 5 g. networks because of espionage fears. europe is divided on how to approach one way some countries are lining up with the u.s. and restricting hallway are not using its 5 g. technology atoll others are using hallways 5 g. gear and others are still undecided the euro zone's biggest economy germany has so far avoided the decision it feels caught in the middle but the usa and china are important trading partners berlin doesn't want to ruffle anyone's feathers. and for more on this i'm joined by isabel she's a cyber security and digital policy researcher at e s m t berlin isabel thanks for joining us. should europe be concerned should europe be concerned about qual way as a network supplier what do you think. i think europe should think about dependencies in the long term and in that sense yes it should be concerned about. who its uses to equip 5 t.v.

networks strategically because those networks are critical infrastructure for the next 20 years and will determine the fate of our future industry and moreover their european suppliers who would be unbearable as well so we might rather be dependent on european suppliers than chinese once and there are also some security risks about what way which i'm not completely confirmed but. laws in china the chinese government to take influence over trying these companies and security agencies can force it potentially to cooperate on our sabotage or some good technical points about using huawei as a supplier is that technical discussion now being torched by a larger political discussion and this tug of war between the us and china. yes it's a very political discussion it's also a geopolitical discussion china and the u.s.

are basically fighting over dominance geopolitical dominance in the world the u.s. initiative is certainly also an initiative to preserve its 1st position in the global game so to say so europe now caught in between really needs to find its own position geopolitically it as well as industrial. focus is really falling on germany can berlin really afford to sit on the french on the fence rather on this issue for much longer. now of burlington absolutely not afford to sit on the fence it has to take a decision it needs to act together with its european allies and partners because a cell of national decision will not have as much weight as a european position this is why the european union has already initiated a strategic process last year that germany is part of and that sends germany now it

needs to not only make a technical decision about technical security of networks but also position and south within this larger geo political debate. on the basis of its value about its alright we'll have to leave it there for now isabel scare her with a berlin thank you very much for your analysis thank you. and staying on the topic of china beijing is singling out a new domestic vice that it wishes to combat food waste with a food supply chain under scrutiny due to the pandemic chinese families are now being told to clean their plates. at this roast duck restaurant in beijing servers have an unusual request for diners order less food. eateries like chicken judah are at the forefront of china's new battle against wasting food china is nothing future it is now the concerns over wastage have grown and the cove in $1000.00 and after heavy summer flooding destroyed crops in

southern china. i'm a little worried about the food supply issue after the pentagon had natural disasters like floods we're lucky to have enough food and we shouldn't waste it. if we don't have enough food then we should reduce food wastage even more. i think i'm very supportive of the government call. it what. china's catering industry waste up to $18000000.00 tonnes of food each year that's enough to feed $50000000.00 people. chinese president xi jinping has called the ways to change ball and urge citizens to be frugal. diners are happy to he'd call and take their leftover doc to go. or let's take a look now at some of the other global business stories making headlines. chile's
