US President Donald Trump has abruptly backed down on his tariffs on most nations for 90 days, but has raised the tax rate on Chinese imports to 125 per cent. It comes after Beijing announced US exports into China will now be subjected to an 84 per cent tariff, coming into effect later today. Chinese state media has also foreshadowed action at the World Trade Organisation. Guest: Neil Thomas, Fellow on Chinese Politics, the Asia Society Policy Institute Producer: Anne Barker
