Episode notes

This week's podcast will focus on the US-China trade war. Ben and James have been writing about it for years, but this is their first weekly article of its kind. They hope to get into a debate that goes beyond country versus country or culture vs value systems. And they also plan to criticise some other governments not our own.

Ben and James discuss the U.S.-China trade war and the fundamental issues facing both countries generally and tech specifically.
