New UK Business Secretary Peter Kyle has had to hit the ground running. Just days after being promoted to the job he was off on a whistle-stop tour to Washington, and then to Beijing, where he helped to reboot the UK-China Economic and Trade Commission (Jetco) - which hadn’t met in seven years.

Joining Juliet Mann on this edition of The Agenda are Dr Gerard Lyons, Economist and Senior Independent Director, Bank of China, Yin Zhiguang, Professor of International  Politics, Fudan University and Michael Mainelli, Chairman of Z/Yen Group
