Description

From the BBC World Service: China’s leaders have announced a “special action plan” to try and offset the impact of U.S. trade tariffs and boost domestic spending. And a city in northern China is offering families with two children massive financial incentives to have a third over concerns about the country’s rapidly aging population. Also, carmaker Nissan has finished the latest stage of an eight-year project to develop technology for self-driving cars.
