Trump targets TikTok and WeChat, China's exports jump, Cold War beckons
SCMP, 09 Aug 2020
US President Donald Trump signs executive orders targeting TikTok and WeChat, two of China's biggest mobile apps in a new escalation of the US-China tech war. Finbarr Bermingham is joined by Zhou Xin and John Carter from the SCMP political economy team to unpack how this will impact business and culture on both sides of the world, and how it plays into the three 'wars' the US has launched with China over the past year - the trade war, the tech war, and the looming financial war - while Washington bureau chief Rob Delaney analyses the bipartisan mood in the US in support of Trump's moves. #scmppodcasts
