China trade war?

Europe's trade commissioner Karel de Gucht on China's 'protectionism' and whether Spain could be the next euro-domino to fall. Plus how to manage a team working on three different continents.

Europe's trade commissioner Karel de Gucht talks to Lesley Curwen about the potential trade war with China over rare earth minerals, plus whether Spain could be the next euro-domino to fall. He says it will not happen, because it would be 'illogical'.

Plus how to manage a team working on three different continents. Carl Soane of Sybase.com explains how differently his employees in China, Germany and the US react to the same work demands.

And the 大象传媒's Mariko Oi in Tokyo says Japan has been outraged by apparent cronyism involving former bosses of the company which ran the nuclear plant damaged by last year's earthquake.
