- CNN reports, "President Donald Trump wants a deal with China — just not anytime soon.After announcing a revamped trade agreement with Canada and Mexico last week, Trump reeled off a list of other countries that he said had given in to US demands to hold talks or make a deal: South Korea, Japan, the European Union.He scoffed at those "babies out there" who worried about the effects of tariffs, suggesting that "we wouldn't be talking about a deal" with Canada and Mexico without his confrontational approach."
- The New York Times reports, "A year ago, the chief of Interpol, Meng Hongwei of China, watched as his country's president, Xi Jinping, proudly told the organization that China would play a growing role in global law enforcement. China was among the safest countries in the world and "abided by international rules," Mr. Xi told 1,000 delegates at Interpol's general assembly in Beijing. Now, Mr. Meng has fallen afoul of the opaque, highly politicized legal system that critics said should have disqualified him from appointment to Interpol in the first place. On Monday, China's minister of public security, Zhao Kezhi, told a meeting of senior police officials in Beijing that Mr. Meng was accused of taking bribes and other crimes."
- The Hill reports, "The Trump administration is pushing forward with an aggressive and public effort to condemn China for a wide series of transgressions, a strategy that risks intensifying an already high-stakes standoff with Beijing. President Trump has long denounced U.S. trade policies with China, a centerpiece of his 2016 campaign that was a critical reason for his victories in the states of Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. But over the last few months, the administration's conflicts with China have gone well beyond trade to include signs of military flare-ups over the South China Sea and public allegations that Beijing is interfering in U.S. elections."
