"He predicts that in as little as ten years, the world financial system – currently dominated by the US – will be split much more evenly between the US, China and Europe."

It is bewildering. I have tried several times via FOI to get the BBC to say how much it spends buying in US shows that are already available in the UK on US platforms, and they have consistently refused to tell me
