NZ China Council on Trump's 104 percent tariff on China
The United States president had given China 24 hours to roll back its threatened tariff on US goods. Instead, Beijing returned fire calling Trump's ultimatum a mistake on a mistake that amounted to blackmail and China has vowed to fight to the end. Some New Zealand businesses that manufacture in China could be caught in the unfriendly fire. It's also New Zealand's largest market for export goods. Alistair Crozier, the Executive Director of the New Zealand China Council spoke to Lisa Owen.
