Trump has Launched a Trade War with China: Why he will Lose
When I first reported from China in 1980, bicycles outnumbered cars on Beijing’s major streets, and the tallest building in town was a 25-story hotel. I visited a small village that had one black and white TV, which everyone watched at night. Today China’s major cities are jammed with modern factories, skyscrapers, and large public […]

He warned Trump, “We are closer to you than you think. Keep in mind that I am keeping account of you. And you know […]
Is America Sclerotic or still Youthful Enough to take on Imperial Presidency and Climate Change?
There was a period in my later life when I used to say that, from the age of 20 to my late sixties, I was always 40 years old; I was, that is, an old young man and a young old one. Tell that to my legs now. Of course, there’s nothing faintly strange in […]
Cohen May be Sacrificing Trump for a Deal: Experts
New York (AFP) – The dramatic leak of a taped conversation between Donald Trump and his longtime attorney signals an aggressive new strategy by Michael Cohen, raising questions about how much the US leader has to fear should the former fixer cooperate with prosecutors. On the tape, which was broadcast Tuesday, Trump can be heard […]
Tripolarity: Are Trump, Putin & Xi Divvying up the World?
The pundits and politicians generally take it for granted that President Trump lacks a coherent foreign policy. They believe that he acts solely out of spite, caprice, and political opportunism — lashing out at U.S. allies like Germany’s Angela Merkel and England’s Theresa May only to embrace authoritarian rulers like Russia’s Vladimir Putin and North […]
