Over the past week, President Trump avoided a trade war with
Canada and Mexico. But he escalated a trade war with China.

His reasoning? China has become more powerful in domestic
manufacturing than the United States, Japan, Germany, South Korea
and Britain combined.

Keith Bradsher, the Beijing bureau chief for The New York Times,
explains why China’s dominance as a trading partner has become a
threat to Trump’s agenda — and asks whether America will ever be
able to catch up.

Guests: Keith Bradsher, the Beijing bureau chief for The New York
