The Hidden Risks of China’s Private Sector Debt Crisis

Better health for China’s state-owned titans has come at a steep cost





By Nathaniel Taplin
July 31, 2018 7:26 a.m. ET

China has only stemmed the bleeding at its debt-laden, inefficient state sector with large-scale transfusions from private enterprise. The result will eventually be a less efficient economy.

Chinese firms are punting on their debt again: There were 20 bond defaults in the first seven months of 2018, according to Wind Info, nearly as many as in the whole of 2017. Deteriorating finances come at a bad time, with trade tensions rising and the yuan sharply down.

A woman in Indiana has taken her hobby to a new level, making a quilt for the commander-in-chief.

Betty Alexander, 85, told the South Bend Tribune she recently finished making a quilt for President Trump that features a large American flag.

“When I was thinking ‘who’s this quilt going to be for,’ the Holy Spirit just told me it should be for President Trump," she told the paper.

The 85-year-old said she started the quilt after breaking her hip in a fall 4 months ago. Alexander, who watched her mother quilt as a child, has already made quilts for her children and grandchildren. She wanted to step up the challenge as part of her recovery.

UK committee suggests Facebook pay fines for ‘fake news’

By Reuters

July 30, 2018 | 2:50pm | Updated

LONDON – Tech firms like Facebook should be made liable for “harmful and misleading” material on their websites and pay a fine so they can be regulated, British lawmakers said, warning of a crisis in democracy due to misuse of personal data.

Facebook has increasingly become a focus of the media committee’s inquiry into “fake news” after the data of 87 million users was improperly accessed by British-headquartered consultancy Cambridge Analytica.

Facebook executives said on Wednesday its profit margins would plummet for several years due to the cost of improving privacy safeguards and slowing usage in its top advertising markets. The news wiped over $120 billion off the company’s share price.

Anti-Trump London Mayor Sadiq Khan under fire for 'pathetic' response to crime surge

By Adam Shaw | Fox News




London Mayor Sadiq Khan is under fresh fire for his handling of London's crime rate. (Reuters)


London Mayor Sadiq Khan is under increasingly heavy fire from his predecessor, residents and even President Trump over rising crime in the city – though Khan says police cuts from the Conservative government are to blame.

Boris Johnson, the former mayor who recently resigned as U.K. foreign secretary, tore into Khan in a recent Op-Ed for The Daily Telegraph for glamming it up at movie premieres while crime spirals out of control.

“Sadiq Khan may be a twinkle-toed mover on the movie premiere red carpet, but his pirouettes on the subject of knife crime are a positive wonder. He blames funding (when he was left with a large war chest by me); he blames the Tory Government; he blames society. He blames everyone but himself, when it is his paramount duty to keep Londoners safe,” Johnson wrote. “It is a pathetic performance.”

OPINION

‘Democratic Socialists’ do need to answer on Venezuela

By David Harsanyi

July 29, 2018 | 8:44pm



Meghan McCain
AP



On the same day that Venezuela’s “democratically” elected socialist president, Nicolas Maduro, whose once-wealthy nation now has citizens foraging for food, announced he was lopping five zeros off the country’s currency to create a “stable financial and monetary system,” Meghan McCain of “The View” was the target of Internet-wide condemnation for having stated some obvious truths about collectivism.

In truth, McCain was being far too calm. After all, socialism is the leading man-made cause of death and misery in human existence.

It’s true that not all socialism ends in the tyranny of Leninism or Stalinism or Maoism or Castroism or Ba’athism or Chavezism or the Khmer Rouge — only most of it does. And no, New York primary winner Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez doesn’t intend to set up gulags in Alaska. Most so-called democratic socialists — the qualifier affixed to denote that they live in a democratic system and have no choice but to ask for votes — aren’t consciously or explicitly endorsing violence or tyranny.

Well, she’s at it again. Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) is calling for days of rage. Oh, and she’s sanctioned by God or something. Last week, the California liberal visited the First AME Church in Los Angeles, where she declared that God had sent her on a mission to get Trump (via American Mirror):

So, that’s liberal America, right there. In the real world, three million jobs have been created, second quarter growth was a solid 4.1 percent, consumer and small business confidence have reached their highest marks in years, over 250 companies have benefitted from the Trump tax cuts, including over three million workers who have received bonuses. Unemployment is at an 18-year low; black unemployment has reached a historic low. Sorry liberals, Trump has produced a booming economy, which you will certainly kill with your brain dead policies. Also, maybe the fact that no one is really all that upset should be a red flag to Max what her view on this presidency is beyond insane, but I doubt there will be much self-reflection.

Mark Levin: Interrupt Obama and reporters are racist, interrupt Trump and they’re heroes

by Paul Bedard
| July 28, 2018 11:37 AM

Hall of Fame conservative radio host Mark Levin is blowing the whistle on what he sees as a double standard over the Trump administration’s move last week to bar a CNN White House reporter from an event after she shouted several questions at the president inside the Oval Office.

On his top-ranked radio show, Levin mocked media that has “circled the wagons” around CNN’s Kaitlan Collins who asked Trump, sitting with European Union Commission head Jean-Claude Juncker, about tapes the cable network had of the president allegedly talking with his former lawyer about payments to a Playboy model.

The White House claimed the questions were rude and came after the press pool was asked to leave the Oval Office. As a result, they barred her from a subsequent event, prompting most media including Fox to defend Collins.

OPINION

Trump’s demise has been greatly exaggerated

By Kyle Smith

July 28, 2018 | 9:45am



The walls have been closing in on the Trump presidency since the day he was inaugurated, according to liberal pundits.
AP



This time they’ve surely got him. Pack your bags, Mr. President. The game is up. Because this week we learned that . . . that . . . well, there’s this tape, see, recorded by Donald Trump’s lawyer Michael Cohen in September of 2016, during which the then-presidential candidate discussed setting up a company for the purpose of paying off alleged former paramour Karen McDougal to make her go away.

Did Trump and Cohen actually pay her off? No, but . . . but . . . c’mon, it would have been a campaign-finance violation! If it had happened. Or it was sort of a campaign-finance violation once removed, because the company that owns the National Enquirer paid for the rights to the McDougal story but then never ran anything on it, and maybe Trump knew about this!

Trump-is-doomed stories are one of the media’s favorite fairy tales. Remember when you saw “Peter Pan” when you were 4 and you actually thought that clapping for Tinkerbell would bring her back to life? Pundits think that if they cheer loudly enough for Trump to get eighty-sixed, it’ll happen. His (first?) term in office is more than a third over, and the Very Serious Commentators have been ushering him out the door the entire time. Or at least they’ve been trying to. It turns out that Trump doesn’t pay a lot of attention to the usher-pundits.

...

________

Remember how that was absolutely definitely certainly going to bring down Trump?

...

Don’t despair, activists and fantasists and rageaholics. Keep clapping like you did for Tinkerbell when you were 4. If you ever lose faith in fairy tales and it occurs to you that Trump isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, though, there is something you can do. You can keep smashing up Trump’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame with a pickaxe. That’ll show him!

Democrats' love of socialism is a losing strategy – but they foolishly follow it anyway

By Kayleigh McEnany | Fox News


Photo: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez stands by 'democratic socialism'
New York Congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez appeared on 'The Daily Show' with Trevor Noah and stood by her polarizing label of 'democratic socialist.'


In the last century, socialism and communism proved to be bankrupt ideologies that crippled economies, impoverished millions, destroyed personal freedom, brought dictators to power, sparked wars and turned millions of people into refugees fleeing their home countries to seek freedom in the U.S. and elsewhere.

Nations in Eastern Europe abandoned the failed ideologies. The Soviet Union broke up. And even Russia and China were forced to adopt some free market practices to improve their economies and the lives of their people.

But today, the hottest trend among some far-left Democrats is to embrace socialism – calling it “Democratic socialism” to make it sound more appealing.

Going off the deep end like this is a sure-fire losing strategy for Democrats, because the farther left they go the more Americans get left behind. It’s a safe bet that voters are more likely to support the party of Lincoln than the party of Lenin.

Pope Francis Accepts Resignation Of McCarrick Amid Sexual Abuse Scandal

Hanna Bogorowski | Reporter

Pope Francis has accepted the resignation of Cardinal Theodore E. McCarrick, who has been accused of sexually abusing minors and adults for over 20 years, one involving a boy as young as age 11.

The pope received a resignation letter from McCarrick, the former archbishop emeritus of Washington, D.C., on Friday evening and immediately suspended the cardinal from the exercise of any public ministry, The New York Times reported.

The Vatican announced Saturday that Francis ordered McCarrick to conduct a “life of prayer and penance” before a church trial is held, a move seen as unprecedented.

Abolishing ICE Just Might be the Dumbest Democrat Idea Yet

Steve Sheldon
| Posted: Jul 28, 2018 9:00 AM


On July 12, U.S. Representatives Mark Pocan (WI-02), Pramila Jayapal (WA-07) and Adriano Espaillat (NY-13) introduced the "Establishing a Humane Immigration Enforcement System Act". According to their press release, the act "includes terminating the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) within one year of enactment."

After many pages of nonsensical blathering about the horrors of ICE enforcing our immigration laws and arresting bad guys, the twelve-page bill essentially establishes a commission made up of 17 people who have the task of abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement within one year.

The crazy part is that the majority of the commission aren't even members of the House or Senate but rather are "selected from the 17 major civil society and immigrants’ rights organizations and individuals directly impacted by ICE practices." In other words, the very groups who despise ICE would have the majority on the committee in charge of dismantling it.

American prosperity of Trump era marks real turning point in history

By Arthur Laffer, opinion contributor
— 07/28/18 10:00 AM EDT

4,347 COMMENTS
The views expressed by contributors are their own and not the view of The Hill




Gross domestic product, or GDP, is the measure of choice when assessing the health of any economy, especially in the United States. GDP, which is measured at annual rates, includes the value of production of all goods and services produced in a country. In the one year since President Trump took office, the first quarter of 2017 through the first quarter of 2018, real GDP grew at a 2.55 percent annual rate. This is higher than the growth for six of the eight years former President Obama was in office, or even five of the eight years when former President George W. Bush was in office.

Moreover, the economic growth rate in the first year of Trump in office is higher than the average annual growth rate for the entire presidencies of both Obama at 2.05 percent and Bush at 1.71 percent. For the full 65 years from the first quarter of 1953 through the first quarter of 2018, annual real GDP growth in the United States averaged 2.95 percent, which is still substantially higher than the first year under Trump.

The growth rate for the second quarter of 2018 is 4.1 percent. This is a nice sign of American prosperity and is the strongest quarter of economic growth since the third quarter of 2014. Net exports contributed about 1 percent, while the change in private inventories subtracted 1 percent. Lots of changes like this happen on a quarter by quarter basis and should not be taken too seriously.

________

The latest GDP figure is a great number that aids our recovery from the awful 16 years under Bush and Obama. It will also reduce deficits in the long term if such robust economic growth continues. But the challenge is far from over. We have a lot of work to do to fan the flames of prosperity and to hold at bay the prosperity killers. But one step forward is still one step forward, and it is a heck of a lot better than one step backward.

Wall Street finally taught Zuckerberg the lesson he deserved

By Matthew Hennessey

July 28, 2018 | 10:06am



Facebook stock finally tumbled last week after a long stretch of unresolved privacy issues.
NY Post photo composite/Mike Guillen



This week Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg finally got the whack across the nose that many had hoped Congress would give him back in April.

The social-media giant’s stock price took a spectacular nose dive Thursday after the company forecast a slowdown in the rate of new user sign-ups. Analysts reckon Facebook’s limp response to the European Union’s recently enacted digital privacy laws also soured investors on its near-term financial future.

While Zuckerberg spent the first half of 2018 listening to but not really hearing complaints about how Facebook mishandles user data, it’s a good bet he’s listening now. All told, Thursday’s trading vaporized $119 billion of the Menlo Park, Calif., company’s market value. That’s roughly the equivalent of the gross domestic product of Kuwait.

U.S. Military Begins Arduous Job: Identifying Remains From Korean War

Relatives of Korea veterans missing in action are urged to send DNA samples

North Korea’s return of 55 cases believed to hold American remains from the Korean War marks the beginning of a monthslong identification process, U.S. defense officials said Friday.

Military leaders and veterans groups heralded the transfer, although officials said the process of identifying the remains presents unique challenges for forensic specialists.

A U.S. plane carrying the remains flew to Osan Air Base in South Korea on Friday. The remains next will be transported to Pearl Harbor, where the identification process will begin.

Newt Gingrich: Trump’s GDP achieves Mission Impossible (and shocks his critics)

By Newt Gingrich | Fox News


GDP grows 4.1 percent in second quarter
FBN's Stuart Varney says the GDP growth is a 'big Trump win.'


Early in his presidency, when Donald Trump said U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) would exceed 3 percent growth, the supposed experts in the mainstream media claimed such growth would most likely be impossible.

In fact, the experts claimed unemployment would have to reach zero percent and immigration would have to double to meet such a high growth rate (despite the fact that 3.22 percent has been the average GDP growth rate over the last 71 years).

Well, according to the U.S. Department of Commerce on Friday, “real gross domestic product increased at an annual rate of 4.1 percent in the second quarter of 2018.”

It seems President Trump has once again achieved the impossible.

WORLD_ When the World Opened the Gates of China

When the World Opened the Gates of China

Was it a mistake for the U.S. to allow China to join the World Trade Organization? Assessments of the 2001 deal often determine positions in today’s bitter trade debate.

By Bob Davis

Updated July 27, 2018 1:09 p.m. ET

With a congressional vote looming in the spring of 2000, President Bill Clinton mustered his best arguments for why lawmakers should approve his proposed deal for China to join the World Trade Organization.

Adding China would link Beijing to Western economies and reduce the government’s ability to control its vast population, he said in a speech that March at Johns Hopkins’s School of Advanced International Studies. “By joining the WTO, China is not simply agreeing to import more of our products, it is agreeing to import...

WORLD_ Why Are The American Remains Returning From The Korean War Draped In United Nations Flag?

THE DAILY CALLER




Why Are The American Remains Returning From The Korean War Draped In United Nations Flag?

9:48 PM 07/27/2018
Benny Johnson | Reporter At Large

One of the most important results of President Trump’s negotiations with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is the return of the remains of American troops who perished during the Korean War half a century ago.

The remains of over fifty U.S. servicemen arrived in South Korea in accordance with an agreement made between Trump and Kim Jong Un last month.

The remains were transported from North Korea to Osan Air Base at Pyeongtaek, South Korea, where a formal acceptance ceremony for the remains was performed.

U.N. honor guards carried the boxes containing the still unconfirmed remains of U.S. servicemen killed during the Korean War. The date the remains landed in the South happened to be July 27 — the 65th anniversary of the armistice that ended the open hostilities of the Korean War.

The reason for this is because the Korean War was one between the United Nations and North Korea and its allies. America was acting as the principal military force.

Obama administration approved $200G grant to group with Al Qaeda ties

By Alex Pappas | Fox News


The Obama administration approved a $200,000 grant to a group in Sudan with ties to Al Qaeda even though it had been designated a terrorist-financing organization by the U.S. years earlier, a conservative think tank revealed this week. (The Associated Press)


The Obama administration approved a $200,000 grant to a group in Sudan with ties to Al Qaeda even though it had been designated a terrorist-financing organization by the U.S. years earlier, a conservative think tank revealed this week.

Further, an agency official acknowledged the prior administration allowed taxpayer money to flow to the group even after its designation was discovered.

The 2014 grant to the Islamic Relief Agency, through the U.S. Agency for International Development, was revealed by Sam Westrop of the Middle East Forum in a story for the National Review.

Remains of US war dead retrieved from North Korea, White House says

Fifty-five cases containing what were believed to be the remains of U.S. servicemen killed during the Korean War were returned Friday, the White House said.

The cases, each draped with the flag of the United Nations, arrived aboard a U.S. military plane at Osan Air Base outside Seoul, South Korea. Earlier, the plane and its crew had traveled to Wonsan, North Korea, to collect the remains, the White House said.

The transfer of the remains from the 1950-53 Korean War had been negotiated last month during a summit meeting in Singapore between President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

WHAT AMERICA'S THINKING_ Poll: Americans overwhelmingly reject voting rights for undocumented immigrants

THE HILL

Poll: Americans overwhelmingly reject voting rights for undocumented immigrants


VIDEO:
7/27/2018

San Francisco's Department of Elections last week made the move to start allowing non-U.S. citizens to vote in the city's school board elections, sparking a national debate.

The idea is unlikely to be copied in many localities, at least if the latest American Barometer poll is any indication.

According to the survey, which is a joint project of Hill.TV and the HarrisX polling company, 71 percent of respondents opposed San Francisco's decision, while only 29 percent said they supported the move.

Ninety-one percent of Republicans polled said they opposed giving the right to vote to noncitizens, as did 54 percent of Democrats. Seventy percent of independents said they were also in opposition to the decision.

The real threat isn’t Russia, it’s China

The nation’s top intelligence officials publicly declared last week that China is seeking to supplant the United States as the dominant world power and represents the number one economic and national security threat. But few took note: U.S. debate is focused so heavily on Russia at the moment that discussion over how to deal with China’s rise has been muted. That’s a problem, as there’s no more time to waste.

Russia is a real short-term problem, but China is the greater long-term challenge. The United States must respond to what Wray calls China’s “whole of society” strategy with our own whole-of-society response. The frame for that discussion should be how to preserve American leadership and the world order China seeks to supplant.

Tammy Bruce: America avoided a disaster -- Look at the Clintons and their pal Harvey Weinstein

By Tammy Bruce | The Washington Times



FILE -- Former first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton and Harvey Weinstein as they arrive for the premiere of "Shakespeare in Love" in New York. (Reuters)


A year and a half after the fact, we are seeing photographs of Hillary and Bill Clinton at a cozy dinner just weeks after her failed presidential campaign, with accused serial rapist Harvey Weinstein. Having powerful friends like the Clintons is a reminder of not only how someone as disgusting as Mr. Weinstein remained in power, but why people were afraid to act against him.

At the Clinton table at the very popular Rao’s restaurant in New York in early December 2016 were Hillary Clinton, former President Bill Clinton, Harvey Weinstein, his wife fashion designer Georgina Chapman, and Weinstein lawyer David Boies. The New York Times reported last year that the pals were discussing making a documentary about her loss to Donald Trump. The Daily Mail reported it received exclusive access to the never-before-seen photos of the Clintons with Mr. Weinstein.

This reminds people of the sort of individuals she has chosen to surround herself with. In the immediate aftermath of the 2016 loss, one would guess she’d have her closest friends with her, the people she could trust. And in early December, that apparently was Mr. Weinstein, with whom the Clintons had been friends for decades.

________

According to the New York Police Department, Mr. Weinstein is charged with rape, a criminal sex act, sexual abuse and sexual misconduct involving two women. More charges could follow.
It was less than a year after his best friend’s failure to gain the presidency and a mere 10 more months after that dinner at Rao’s, for the boom to be brought down on Mr. Weinstein.

Mrs. Clinton still insists she had no idea about Mr. Weinstein’s alleged actions, so her friends and supporters have two options when it comes to her decades-long friendship with the accused rapist: Either she was the only Friend of Harvey in both Hollywood and politics who didn’t know, which makes her unqualified to hold any public office; or she did know and didn’t care. Either way, this is a woman whose judgment was and remains compromised.

...


Until Donald J. Trump. As you observe the continuing “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” know that it is from those who took too much for granted and held you in so much contempt. Like Hillary Clinton, those still trying to undermine the president simply refuse to take responsibility for their own failure, and be grateful every day that the American voter decided enough was enough.

‘Social Media has peaked’: Facebook in free fall as weak outlook stuns market

INVESTORS are fleeing and some analysts are calling the peak of one of Silicon Valley’s brightest stars.

I would ‘love’ to see Zuckerberg testify: Turnbull


FACEBOOK shares went into a free fall Thursday (AEST) as a stunningly weak financial outlook raised fresh concerns for the social networking giant as it tries to recover from the impact of data protection scandals and investigations.

After-hours trade saw Facebook shares plunge by some 21 per cent, wiping out an estimated $US130 billion in market value if the slump is confirmed at Thursday’s market opening.

The second-quarter report sparked initial selling after it showed revenue and user growth came up short of expectations.
