Jojje OlssonNedan följer en sammanfattning av veckans viktigaste artiklar och texter om Kina med omnejd, sammanfattade i form av ett drygt tiotal tweets.
Givetvis har veckan dominerats av de kraschade förhandlingarna i handelskriget mellan Kina och USA, med de nya tullar som infördes på kinesiska exporter till USA under fredagen. De båda sidorna verkar stå längre ifrån varandra än vad som tidigare trots, och en överenskommelse är knappast att räkna med inom någon snar framtid.
Utöver de fortsätter störande rapporter att strömma in om repressionen mot uigurer och andra etniska minoriteter i Xinjiang, samtidigt som en del intressanta rapporter om Kinas militär också har publicerats i veckan.
Tariffs will make our Country MUCH STRONGER, not weaker. Just sit back and watch! In the meantime, China should not renegotiate deals with the U.S. at the last minute. This is not the Obama Administration, or the Administration of Sleepy Joe, who let China get away with “murder!”

Based on what I know, Chinese side insists on a few core points: US side should remove all additional tariffs, amount of purchase the US requests should be in line with reality; the text of the agreement must respect sovereignty and dignity. I think the insistence is reasonable.

Bannon is right that the ultimate end goal has to be the end of the CCP ruling over China. You don't hope to build up Kim Jong Un. You don't hope to build up Putin. Why is it so hard for some to recognize the obvious that yes, we hope for the collapse of the CCP? Done.
