China expert: 'Beijing will win this trade war' | LBC analysis

Xi Jinping biographer and former foreign correspondent Michael Sheridan joins Matt Frei to discuss the latest moves in the US-China trade war.

This week, Beijing fired back at the US with a top official saying tariffs imposed on China were "extremely shameless".

It comes days after Donald Trump slapped 145% tariffs on all Chinese goods bound for the US, sending shockwaves through the world's financial markets.

China's President Xi Jinping is making the case for free trade as he tours Southeast Asia this week, presenting the country as a source of "stability and certainty".
