This week opened with some good news in the long-running trade battle between the U.S. and China, when Donald Trump agreed to delay the big hike in tariff rates originally scheduled for March 1. U.S and Chinese investors cheered the move. But the issues are not close to being resolved.

In the latest episode of The Readback, Alex Eule is joined by Barron's senior writer Reshma Kapadia to talk about why progress in U.S.-China trade talks won't solve the bigger issue-a growing battle over tech supremacy.

The Readback is a weekly, financial podcast from Barron's. Hosted by Alex Eule and produced by Mette Lützhøft.
