The Sound of Hope News is one of my favorite news channel. It features legally immigrated Mainland Chinese journalists living in the US who love this country. They know what Communism and Socialism are like and work hard to prevent them.

This little channel also receives news from Mainland China. They are very diligent and ethical journalists. I usually watch their daily Chinese commentaries because I can get direct Chinese news as they understand very well how CCP operates. Needless to say, many freedom fighters in China and Hong Kong support them. Now, they have made an English version. (They have an accent as English is their learned language.)

Have you been following the China trade deal? There are lots of pieces to this puzzle, but its been a story mainly about opaque Chinese politics rather than economics – but then I’ve always thought trade deals were 90% politics and 10% economics. While Trump has been saying that it amounts to a little squabble, the Chinese are calling ‘a people’s war‘.

There have always been powerful interests in China who were going to oppose ending subsidies, ending theft of intellectual property, and who wanted to continue a one-sided relationship. The best analysis I’ve seen is Gordon Chang’s “No Longer a Trade Tiff: China Screams ‘People’s War’

“Most observers ignored, among other things, internal Chinese factors pushing Beijing away from agreement with the United States.”
