How is Japan and China's spat affecting the economy?
Manage episode 519901864 series 1301447
Shares in Japanese retail and travel-related companies have fallen sharply in Tokyo, after China urged its citizens not to visit the country. The tensions spiked after Japan’s prime minister suggested Tokyo could take military action if Beijing attacked Taiwan, which China claims is its sovereign territory.
Meanwhile, why has Bitcoin lost more than $600 billion in market value, just weeks after hitting a record high?
And for Bridget Jones fans, the rom-com icon is getting her own statue, joining the likes of Harry Potter and Paddington Bear on a new trail celebrating 100 years of British cinema.
