Hello and welcome to World Business Report from the BBC World Service.
I'm Sam Fenwick.
Coming up today, Meta overhauls information.
Checking on its social media sites, we'll talk about the challenges Chinese companies face in the US market.

We'll explore what it means for the region.
Also today, while some countries are closing their trade borders, you'll hear about two nations that are taking a very different path.
