A top Chinese official and leaders of several Southeast Asian countries said Wednesday that moves by the U.S. to limit trade and protect American businesses pose a grave threat to the world economy. Business and trade require a degree of certainty, said Indonesia's finance minister, Sri Mulyani Indrawati. Indonesian President Joko Widodo drew laughs by likening trade wars to "infinity wars" in a reference to this year's movie "Avengers: Infinity War," based on Marvel's comics. "We must prevent the trade wars from becoming the infinity war," Widodo said. She noted that in just five years, the cost of a cellphone in Myanmar had plunged to just $1.50 from $1,500.
