  • The New York Times：Tariffs on China Don't Cover the Costs of Trump's Trade War
    The New York Times reports, "President Trump on Monday portrayed America as being on the winning end of his trade war, saying tariffs are punishing China's economy while generating billions of dollars for the United States, an economic victory that will allow him to continue his fight without domestic harm. 'We've taken in tens of billions of dollars in tariffs from China,' Mr. Trump told reporters during a 'Made in America' product event at the White House. While China has taken $16 billion 'off the table' by stopping its purchases of American agriculture, he said, the United States has 'taken in much, much more — many times that in tariffs.' But government figures show that the revenue the United States has collected from tariffs on $250 billion worth of Chinese goods is not enough to cover the cost of the president's bailout for farmers, let alone compensate the many other industries hurt by trade tensions. The longer Mr. Trump's dispute with China drags on, the more difficult it could be for him to ignore that gap."
  • Bloomberg：Google Warns Hong Kong's Joshua Wong of Government-Backed Hackers
    Bloomberg reports, "Hong Kong activist Joshua Wong said that Google Inc. warned him about government-backed hacking attempts as the former British colony's historic protests continue to draw global attention -- and China's ire. The student leader on Tuesday posted on Twitter a message he said he'd received from Google warning that hackers supported by unspecified authorities may have been trying to steal his Gmail password and access his data. 'There's a chance this is a false alarm, but we believe we detected government-backed attackers trying to steal your password,' the message read. 'This happens to less than 0.1% of all Gmail users.' It's not unusual for Google to warn Gmail users about possible break-in attempts, which it says it's been doing since 2012 'out of an abundance of caution.' The internet giant pulled its search service from mainland China in 2010, citing censorship as well as concerns about potential state-backed hacks into Chinese activists' accounts."
  • The New York Times：As Duterte Courts China, U.S. Says Don't Forget Your Old Friend
    The New York Times reports, "The Philippines stressed Tuesday that the country was not drifting into the military orbit of China, despite President Rodrigo Duterte's perceived warming ties with Beijing and fresh concerns about Beijing's aggressiveness in the South China Sea. The assurances were made as top American diplomats and defense officials met with their Philippine counterparts in Manila for annual strategic talks aimed at strengthening relations between their two militaries. The Philippines has been America's closest Southeast Asian strategic ally for the last seven decades, with Washington a consistent source of military aid and arms sales to Manila. Manila's envoy to Washington, Jose Manuel Romualdez, said that the two sides discussed 'shared concerns,' particularly violent extremism and the continued presence of Islamic State militants in the country."
