china expert clifford could and clip it this is not the 1st blacklist issued by the united states what's different this time well i think the intention behind this seems to be more political certainly they've expressed it as a political move but we've already seen weiwei as you mentioned i think this is looking at some very key areas in china particularly surveillance in the comps a lot of chinese economic development in the area of ai for example has technological development in ai has been through the surveillance sector so it's targeting some companies which are very much involved in the ai sector and beijing already said we're going to hit back what can we expect yeah that's right they said they said stay tuned to see what they put they can do there's a lot of sectors they still haven't looked at yet they could they could hit the auto sector there's all these kind of areas where were they. could could retaliate but we will have to wait and see that the next talks are to resume in 2 days from

now insist they see any point in them actually meeting well the commerce department said that this is separate from the trade talks but then i suppose they would say to us i think i think. who knows maybe they'll be able to separate this out but it's certainly not going to do anything to make the atmosphere of these talks which are already tense even worse and i think we're going to have to wait and see how that comes out as well but it's not going to help which of these 2 sides can actually stomach a protracted trade or tariff battle that's one thing that we've been looking at i mean the u.s. certainly sees itself in the having the upper hand but the chinese have shown the chinese economy is showing itself very resilient slowing down would love the analysts you talk to would say that's not actually related to the trade war it's to do with internal matters and the domestic market so it looks like they're both fairly evenly matched at the moment all right cliff it can and they're our very own china expert and also from the business of course thank you so much
