Taking Stock: A slower China and a durian glut

We take stock as China's economy posts weaker-than-expected growth. Plus, New York's move to block new AI data centres and why the ‘king of fruits’, durian, has become so cheap.

Connecting the timezones this week are Will Bain in London, David Kuo in Singapore and Emily Peck in New York to unpack the week's biggest business stories. China's economy has recorded one of its weakest quarterly growth rates on record, raising fresh questions about the country's outlook and the impact on the global economy. Plus, why prices for durian, the 'king of fruits', are tumbling across Asia. And New York's move to target AI data centres.
