  • The New York Times reports: "It sounds like something out of a science fiction movie: In April, China is said to have tested an invisibility cloak that would allow ordinary fighter jets to suddenly vanish from radar screens. This advancement, which could prove to be a critical intelligence breakthrough, is one that American officials fear China may have gained in part from a Chinese researcher who roused suspicions while working on a similar technology at a Duke University laboratory in 2008... The Trump administration, concerned about China's growing technological prowess, is considering strict measures to block Chinese citizens from performing sensitive research at American universities and research institutes over fears they may be acquiring intellectual secrets, according to people familiar with the deliberations."
  • Bloomberg reports: "President Donald Trump says his trade actions may cause "a little pain" in the short term, and a new study shows U.S. agricultural workers could be hurt the most. The tariffs on $50 billion in Chinese imports that Trump has proposed, plus promised retaliatory duties by China, would reduce U.S. gross domestic product by $2.9 billion and cost almost 134,000 U.S. jobs, according to a study commissioned by the Consumer Technology Association and the National Retail Federation, which oppose the tariffs. That includes more than 67,000 jobs in agriculture. States that Trump won in 2016 would lose about 77,500 positions, the study found."
  • The New York Times reports: "The Dominican Republic said it had established ties with China, a move that furthers the international isolation of Taiwan, with which it simultaneously severed diplomatic relations. The decision was announced by Flavio Darío Espinal, an adviser to the government of the Dominican Republic, and the foreign ministers of China and the Dominican Republic signed a joint communiqué Tuesday morning in Beijing. Mr. Espinal emphasized the likelihood of increased trade after establishing formal relations with the world's second largest economy and the prospect of making the Dominican Republic a destination for Chinese tourists."
