In the latest instalment of Trade Policy Decoded,  Pru and Peter speak to Professor Lu Xiankun, a former senior Chinese trade diplomat, current Managing Director of the LEDECO Centre Switzerland, and Founder and CEO of the Friends of Multilateralism Group.

They explore the discussions taking place in Geneva on responses to US tariffs, the need for middle powers to work together and lead efforts to defend multilateralism, a WTO without the US, and a Chinese view of China's development model in provoking US actions. 'Does the US want to trim its neighbour's apple tree branches hanging across it's fence - or rip out the whole tree'?
