  • Reuters：China's trade imbalance with U.S. a long-term problem, says central bank governor
    Reuters reports: "China's "huge" trade imbalance with the United States is a structural and long-term problem and should be viewed with rationality, the Chinese central bank governor was quoted as saying... Yi Gang, appointed to head the People's Bank of China (PBOC) in March, also called for concerted efforts from the United States and China to resolve the trade dispute... The comments came after an inconclusive two-day meeting between Chinese and U.S. top level officials in Beijing amid escalating tit-for-tat tariff threats between the world's two biggest economies. Washington demanded that China reduce its trade surplus with the United States by at least $200 billion by the end of 2020, according to sources."
  • The Washington Post：White House calls China's threats to airlines 'Orwellian nonsense'
    The Washington Post reports: "In the long strategic struggle between the United States and China, one key issue is whether the Chinese Communist Party will be able to force Americans to do what it says, especially American companies. Now, the Chinese government is threatening to impose a version of its 'social credit score' system on international airlines, with steep punishments unless they acquiesce to Beijing's political demands. The Trump administration has decided to tell China that that is not going to fly... White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders is set to release a press statement calling the Chinese government's threats 'political correctness' run amok. 'This is Orwellian nonsense and part of a growing trend by the Chinese Communist Party to impose its political views on American citizens and private companies,' the statement reads. 'China's internal Internet repression is world-famous. China's efforts to export its censorship and political correctness to Americans and the rest of the free world will be resisted.'"
  • Foreign Policy：Rubio Questions D.C. Panel on China Influence
    Foreign Policy reports: "The United States is struggling to come to grips with the scale and scope of Chinese influence operations inside its own borders. On Friday, Sen. Marco Rubio, a Florida Republican, asked the Wilson Center, a non-partisan think tank in Washington, D.C., to disclose the political affiliation of a member of an upcoming panel meant to discuss those very influence operations. The letter highlights the growing concerns among lawmakers and government officials about covert Chinese influence in the United States and around the world. The May 9 panel is slated to discuss Chinese political interference activities conducted by the United Front Work Department, a Chinese Communist Party agency designed to shape the political discourse in foreign countries to more closely align with the party's interests... But the event notice fails to mention that one of the panelists, Wang Huiyao, holds an official position in the United Front Work Department itself. It merely describes Wang as the 'founder and president of the Center for China and Globalization,' a Beijing-based think tank."
