Analysing Hong Kong's challenge to Trump at the WTO; the US 'Name the Enemy Act' targets Xi Jinping

SCMP, 24 Aug 2020
After Hong Kong vowed to sue Donald Trump at the World Trade Organisation (WTO) over plans to relabel the city's exports as "Made in China", CUHK trade law professor Bryan Mercurio discusses the debate over whether a case is worthwhile - and why China might shy away from revealing its 'dirty laundry' in the court of the WTO.

In a busy week for US China affairs, trade talks appear to be back on, even as US lawmakers push to take punitive action against Beijing to the extreme. SCMP editors Zhou Xin and John Carter are joined by special guest Denise Tsang, one of the Hong Kong desk editors for the SCMP, analysing the 'furious' response from the Hong Kong government over moves by the US to reclassify exports from Hong Kong as 'Made In China'. #scmppodcasts
