We take a special focus on various aspects of the Chinese economy and its position within the global landscape.

We've been speaking with the likes of Julia Lovell, author of Maoism, A Global History.

Tom Orlik the chief economist for Bloomberg Economics and author of "Understanding China's Economic Indicators" talks to us about the bigger picture in terms of China's global positioning.

Also we hear from Stefan Nicola, Bloomberg’s Telecoms, Media and Technology reporter, on why 5G is a major front in the trade ‘war’ between China and the US - with Europe in the middle.
