Podcast: Coronavirus and the Battlefields of the U.S.-China Trade War

By Alexander Gabuev and Jamil Anderlini

Published on Mar 3, 2020

Could coronavirus actually be a boost for the Chinese government? Is it better to be spied on by China or the United States? Is Russia really serious about its pivot to Asia? Carnegie’s Alex Gabuev and The Financial Times’ Asia editor Jamil Anderlini discuss the impact of coronavirus on the Russian economy, how the virus is influencing the ongoing U.S.-China trade war, and how events in Asia affect the choices European countries are making.
