  • The Washington Post：Donald Trump is a mixed blessing for Chinese leaders
    The Washington Post reports: "Trump's threats to tear up trade deals and hike tariffs on Chinese goods look ominous. If carried out, they could chill thriving commercial ties at a time when Beijing is struggling to shore up economic growth. At the same time, Trump's suggestion he might reduce Washington's global strategic presence to focus on domestic issues would be a gift to Chinese leaders. They could expand their political and military profile in East Asia with less risk of conflict...On strategic issues, Chinese researchers have 'come around to the view that Donald Trump is better for China,'...'There is a sense among many that Donald Trump will draw inward,' said Haenle. 'This is music to their ears, because this means that the United States might not put pressure on China in the region.'...'[still] the U.S. has important equities in the region through investment and trade," said Thayer. "And the U.S. has a national interest in preventing China from becoming a hegemonic power over the region."
  • BBC：Chinese official Meng Hongwei to head Interpol
    BBC reports: ""A senior Chinese official has been elected head of global police co-operation agency Interpol. Vice Minister of Public Security Meng Hongwei is the first Chinese citizen to hold the four-year post. His appointment begins immediately. Amnesty International fears the move could help China pursue political dissidents who have fled the country. But Mr Meng said he was ready to do 'everything he could towards the cause of policing in the world.'...'This [appointment] is extraordinarily worrying given China's long-standing practice of trying to use Interpol to arrest dissidents and refugees abroad,' said Nicholas Bequelin of Amnesty International...[however] 'Interpol does not have [such] strong operational power, but it does have considerable influence as the world's largest police organisation,' Mr Bequelin told the BBC."
  • The Wall Street Journal：Copper Prices Lifted by U.S. Infrastructure Spending Plan
    The Wall Street Journal reports: "Industrial metals climbed and copper prices shot to more than one-year highs on Tuesday, as investors put their trust in President-elect Donald Trump to spend on U.S. infrastructure...'Rather than being paralyzed with shock or engaging in panicked selling, participants on the metals markets appear to be responding not only calmly but even with downright euphoria to the news of Donald Trump's election as the new U.S. president,' Commerzbank AG said. Mr. Trump has said he would cut taxes and invest in infrastructure, which would lift demand for metals used for building and manufacturing. 'If [investors] are taking this at face value, that's going to be good for metals prices,' saidWilliam Adams, head of research at FastMarkets in London."
