- NPR reports: "President Trump appears to be blaming China for derailing a U.S.-North Korea rapprochement, implying that it's placing "tremendous pressure" on Pyongyang as a result of ongoing trade disputes between Washington and Beijing. In a quartet of tweets on Wednesday, Trump issued what he called a White House statement saying he "feels strongly that North Korea is under tremendous pressure from China because of our major trade disputes with the Chinese Government. At the same time, we also know that China is providing North Korea with ... considerable aid, including money, fuel, fertilizer and various other commodities. This is not helpful!" Even so, Trump said he believed his relationship with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un was "a very good and warm one" and referred to "China's great President Xi Jinping.""
CNBC reports: "The U.S. and China may be at odds on trade, but both are lining up to crack down on big tech, according to an analyst. "I think this is actually wrapped up in the trade issue, which is around national security and tech companies," Michael Hessel, political economy analyst at Absolute Strategy Research, told CNBC... "There's a growing push both within China and the U.S. to regulate some of these companies increasingly like national security companies, which could have huge implications for their business model." President Donald Trump on Tuesday made Google his latest target in a tirade against big tech, saying the firm's search service is "rigged" against conservatives in favor of left-leaning media."
- The Washington Post：China races to corral a deadly outbreak of African swine fever before it spreadsThe Washington Post reports: "Chinese officials are scrambling to stop a deadly African swine fever outbreak that could decimate the country's pig population. Since early August, the virus has spread to four provinces about 745 miles apart. The budding epidemic could endanger the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of hog farmers and jeopardize China's enormous pork industry. There are about 700 million pigs in China, half the world's pig population. Pork is the country's primary protein source. If China cannot quickly contain the virus, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization warned that it could jump to the Korean Peninsula and Southeast Asia, creating a continentwide crisis."
