Tan Sri Dr. Munir Majid, Chairman of CIMB ASEAN Research Institute or CARI, and Dr. Donald Hanna, Chief Economist of the CIMB Group, discuss the whys and wherefores of the escalating trade spat between China and the US, what it means for the global economy and perhaps most importantly, the repercussions for Malaysia, which counts both protagonists as important trading partners.

The duo also discuss the possibility of ASEAN, and the ASEAN Economic Community, playing a role, in future, in mitigating any fallout from poor-case outcome from the impasse.
