| 0:29.8 | Welcome to the Views' Weekly Podcast, brought to you by Reuters' Breaking Views. |
| 0:33.9 | I'm Rob Cox, the editor of Breaking Views, coming to you from Zurich, Switzerland. |
| 0:54.8 | This week I spoke to Yuna Galani, our Mumbai-based India editor, who's now taking a break in the British countryside about a column she wrote this week on Mukesh Ambani. If you don't know who he is, you should. He's India's richest man. Actually, he's Asia's richest man.

| 1:36.3 | demand in China for things like really expensive cognac. |
| 1:40.4 | As you'll hear us discuss, the issue is whether this increased reliance on China will push companies to lobby their governments to take a less aggressive approach, say, with the Communist Party on trade, security, human rights, and other really important matters. |
| 1:54.5 | Anyway, give a listen here. |
| 1:57.9 | Yuna, it's great to speak to you. You're not in India. You're in somewhere in a cattle farm in a remote |
