Trump Says China Will Get Better Trade Deal if It Solves ‘North Korean Problem’
The U.S. election campaigns in 2016 and U.S.-China relations
03/30/2016

Robert Lighthizer and other experts call for trade and globalization practices that work for the U.S.
01/06/2010
The failure of the establishment of both parties in the USA to take action in the face of the loss of 5.6 million jobs in the last decade, with $4.3 trillion in trade imbalances. An issue which resonates with voters in the US and could lead to a fundamental realignent of American attitudes to globalization and free trade. The feeling that the free-trade deck is stacked against the USA by Asian countries. China's efforts to keep the yuan dollar exchange rate at levels that favor exports. China's accumulation of over $3 trillion in dollar reserves that are parked mostly in Treasury's that keep U.S. interests low. Distortons in the global economy from the failure to rebalance the world economy hurts China and the U.S.

U.S. trade with China in 2000-2011 and the impact on cities and counties in the U.S.
09/25/2010
Three American researchers have completed a study on the impact of U.S. trade in the decade 2000-2011 with China, a period of exceptionally high growth of about 12% in China and a surge in imports into the U.S. The study shows counties in the 75th percentile in import levels experienced a surge in unemployment and government payments to support the unemployed. Nobel Prize winner Michael Spence points out this was an exceptional period and no theory in textbooks can account for the changes taking place because the growth rate in China was unprecedented.

China's Trade Balance
03/10/2011
Every $1 increase in oil prices reduces China's trade deficit by $1.9 billion, according to one estimate. China had a trade deficit in February 2011. This reduces the pressures on the yuan. See the IMF forecast on China's shrinking trade surplus in 2011-2014.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
