The long-running economic battle between the world's two biggest economies has escalated.
This week US President Donald Trump brought in tariffs against China in an effort to strong-arm the growing superpower into submission and strengthen American markets. But Beijing hit back, raising its own tariffs, escalating a trade war that could have implications for both countries. Trump is betting that tariffs will make America, and American people, richer. But does anyone win in a trade war?

In this episode, Lucy Hockings speaks to the BBC World Service Asia/Pacific editor Micky Bristow, and Ritika Gupta, a North America business correspondent, about why Trump loves tariffs and what impact a trade war between China and America could have on the global economy.
