🌏🇨🇳 69 𝕏 MINUTES | CHINA’S TOP STRATEGIST: “THE TRADE WAR IS SUPPOSED TO BE OVER, BUT AMERICA WON’T STOP PLAYING TRICKS” Professor Wang Wen, one of China’s leading economists, says Beijing believed the U.S.–China tariff war had ended after months of high-level negotiations in Europe, until Washington blindsided them with new economic tactics. “After several rounds of negotiations in Switzerland, the U.K., Sweden, and Spain, the trade war had come to an end. Everything was going smoothly. But then, to China’s surprise, the U.S. government engaged in a series of trickery over the next three weeks. It made the Chinese people very angry.”

It’s rare for China’s state-run CCTV to rebroadcast parts of Trump’s interview with Fox News, a network Beijing once dismissed as “fake news.” The rhetoric about “opposing Taiwan independence” originates from Beijing, and Trump appeared to repeat it deliberately in hopes of securing a trade deal with China.

Who's Going To Win The Future? Hoover Research Fellow Dan Wang on China's Engineers vs. America's Lawyers. On the 76th anniversary of the founding of the PRC, Dan Wang joins Senior Fellows Niall Ferguson, H.R. McMaster, and host Bill Whalen on GoodFellows to discuss his bestseller Breakneck: China's Quest to Engineer the Future, what the future holds for the two Cold War 2 rivals, and his firsthand experiences witnessing China's engineering boom and enduring its draconian pandemic policies. After that, the fellows weigh in on President Trump's recent United Nations address and the state of that institution, the likelihood of Trump's Gaza peace plan coming to fruition, the provision of long-range Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, and the merits of a US military strike inside Venezuela to counter narco-terrorism. In the lightning round: why America's military brass gathered at Quantico; National Guard troops head to Portland, Oregon; Scotland's frustration with illegal immigration; and the feasibility of the US regaining Afghanistan's Bagram Air Base.

🇺🇸🇨🇳 TRUMP HOLDS “HIGH CARDS” IN NEW CHINA TRADE STANDOFF As tensions rise between Washington and Beijing, Trump’s team is arguing that America has the upper hand in any trade showdown. The U.S. ran a $295.5B trade deficit with China last year, but they note that actually gives America leverage, since China relies more than ever on U.S. markets. While China could withhold rare earths and pharmaceuticals, U.S. officials say America could hit back harder, from plastics to Boeing parts and services, potentially grounding half of China’s fleet. The message: Beijing may bluster, but Trump’s White House thinks it’s holding the winning hand. Source: Fox News
