newswars--2020-02-21--White House Holding China Accountable to Trade Deal Amid Coronavirus Outbreak

A Chinese official recently suggested that Beijing might need some ‘ wiggle room ’ to fulfill its commitments under the ‘ Phase 1 ’ trade deal .
Now , the Treasury Department is hinting that this might not be an option , and that the US expects the Chinese to honor their commitments .
Citing comments from an anonymous ‘ senior Treasury official ’ ( possibly Mnuchin himself ) , Reuters reports that the US government expects China to honor its commitments , to which it agreed late last year , around the same time that the virus first emerged @ @ @ @ @ @ @ days after the IMF confirmed that the epidemic had already disrupted economic growth in China , and that it could derail already-fragile global growth if it continues to worsen and spread .
However , the official narrative in Beijing is that the government is winning the war , and that the brief pullback in Q1 growth will be offset by a recovery later in the year .
If you ’ re wondering why the administration would allow such a potentially damaging story to surface on a day when stocks are already in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you…but more on that later .
Yesterday , the market got the first hint at the outbreak ’ s impact on China ’ s high-tech manufacturing sector ( think Foxxconn , iPhones ) with an unprecedented drop in China ’ s emerging industries PMI .
But so far the fallout has been beyond brutal .
To be sure , the US didn ’ t rule out all flexibility .
While the official said the US still expects China to meet its commitments with the $ 200 billion figure in total imports , he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to be doled out over a “ period of time.
” As the Washington Post reminds us , China ’ s agricultural commitments alone in the Phase 1 deal were pretty specific : Beijing agreed to buy an additional $ 32 billion over the first two years , $ 12.5 billion over the $ 24 billion baseline in 2020 , and $ 19.5 billion over that same baseline in 2021 .
The ‘ baseline ’ is $ 24 billion , the level of Chinese ag purchases in 2017 , before Trump decided to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ commitments were part of a deal that ’ s supposed to guarantee an additional $ 200 billion in ag purchases over the baseline in the years ahead , with Beijing ordering state-controlled firms to carry them out in good ol ’ fashioned centrally planned purchases that brings to mind the control economies of the Communist era .
And those ag purchases are only part of the broader $ 200 billion commitment over two years : Technically , China is expected to purchase an additional $ 77 billion US goods in 2020 and $ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a baseline of U.S. imports from 2017 However , almost as soon as the deal was signed , economists and analysts complained loudly that the deal was little more than a PR stunt , and that there was no way Beijing would be able to guarantee such hefty purchases ( others argued that Beijing could make it happen ) .
On Thursday , the chief economist at the US Department of Agriculture seemed to suggest that these critics might have been on to something when he released a projection claiming that China would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ag products during the business year that ends Sept. 30 .
That ’ s only a $ 4 billion increase from a year ago .
Purchases were supposed to be between $ 40 and $ 50 billion this year and next year .
Perdue made the comments during the USDA ’ s Agricultural Outlook Forum this week , and during a news conference later on , he added that enforcing the deal “ remained a concern ” and that the coronavirus outbreak made projections difficult .
So far , China has lifted some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( mostly for breeding ) , affecting the US .
But that ban wasn ’ t related to the trade war ; ironically , it was a precaution put in place during an avian flu outbreak .
While some of the discrepancy is related to a mismatch with the calendar year , the chief economist said there are other reasons why the numbers aren ’ t matching up .
Perdue also said that the department wouldn ’ t just assume that China will meet its commitments and stick those numbers into the projections @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hints that it ’ s following through : This week , the Global Times , a government mouthpiece , reported that China was likely to buy 10 million tons of US liquefied natural gas despite a major glut .

A Chinese official recently suggested that Beijing might need some ‘wiggle room’ to fulfill its commitments under the ‘Phase 1’ trade deal.
Now, the Treasury Department is hinting that this might not be an option, and that the US expects the Chinese to honor their commitments.
Citing comments from an anonymous ‘senior Treasury official’ (possibly Mnuchin himself), Reuters reports that the US government expects China to honor its commitments, to which it agreed late last year, around the same time that the virus first emerged in Wuhan.
The report arrives just days after the IMF confirmed that the epidemic had already disrupted economic growth in China, and that it could derail already-fragile global growth if it continues to worsen and spread.
However, the official narrative in Beijing is that the government is winning the war, and that the brief pullback in Q1 growth will be offset by a recovery later in the year.
If you’re wondering why the administration would allow such a potentially damaging story to surface on a day when stocks are already in the red, well…we wouldn’t blame you…but more on that later.
Yesterday, the market got the first hint at the outbreak’s impact on China’s high-tech manufacturing sector (think Foxxconn, iPhones) with an unprecedented drop in China’s emerging industries PMI.
But so far the fallout has been beyond brutal.
To be sure, the US didn’t rule out all flexibility. While the official said the US still expects China to meet its commitments with the $200 billion figure in total imports, he pointed out that these increases are supposed to be doled out over a “period of time.”
As the Washington Post reminds us, China’s agricultural commitments alone in the Phase 1 deal were pretty specific: Beijing agreed to buy an additional $32 billion over the first two years, $12.5 billion over the $24 billion baseline in 2020, and $19.5 billion over that same baseline in 2021. The ‘baseline’ is $24 billion, the level of Chinese ag purchases in 2017, before Trump decided to instigate his big trade war. The commitments were part of a deal that’s supposed to guarantee an additional $200 billion in ag purchases over the baseline in the years ahead, with Beijing ordering state-controlled firms to carry them out in good ol’ fashioned centrally planned purchases that brings to mind the control economies of the Communist era.
And those ag purchases are only part of the broader $200 billion commitment over two years: Technically, China is expected to purchase an additional $77 billion US goods in 2020 and $123 billion by 2021, compared with a baseline of U.S. imports from 2017
However, almost as soon as the deal was signed, economists and analysts complained loudly that the deal was little more than a PR stunt, and that there was no way Beijing would be able to guarantee such hefty purchases (others argued that Beijing could make it happen). On Thursday, the chief economist at the US Department of Agriculture seemed to suggest that these critics might have been on to something when he released a projection claiming that China would only import roughly $14 billion in ag products during the business year that ends Sept. 30. That’s only a $4 billion increase from a year ago. Purchases were supposed to be between $40 and $50 billion this year and next year.
Perdue made the comments during the USDA’s Agricultural Outlook Forum this week, and during a news conference later on, he added that enforcing the deal “remained a concern” and that the coronavirus outbreak made projections difficult. So far, China has lifted some restrictions, including a live poultry ban (mostly for breeding), affecting the US. But that ban wasn’t related to the trade war; ironically, it was a precaution put in place during an avian flu outbreak.
While some of the discrepancy is related to a mismatch with the calendar year, the chief economist said there are other reasons why the numbers aren’t matching up. Perdue also said that the department wouldn’t just assume that China will meet its commitments and stick those numbers into the projections.
Still, Beijing has offered some hints that it’s following through: This week, the Global Times, a government mouthpiece, reported that China was likely to buy 10 million tons of US liquefied natural gas despite a major glut.
It’s possible we’ll learn more following the G-20 meeting in Riyadh on Saturday and Sunday, where Mnuchin will discuss the economic fallout of the global pandemic with other senior finance ministers of the world’s largest economies. Though representatives from China will be notably absent. Instead, the Treasury official told Reuters that ‘lower level’ officials would represent the finance minister and head of the PBOC. The meeting was supposed to focus on the OECD’s efforts to draft new international tax rules that have become a point of contention between the US and Europe, since they would impact American tech giants like Facebook, Google, Amazon etc.
One would think, with the election coming up in November and Beijing desperate to guarantee higher economic growth, that it’s now more important than ever that the deal holds. But while that may be true, by keeping the threat of collapse and disaster close at hand, Trump and his administration can convince markets that the Fed is ready to step in with another rate cut if things get out of control, virtually guaranteeing (at least, in their estimation) that markets will remain buoyant until November.
However, if markets catch the slightest whiff of reflation between now and then (unlikely given the strength of the dollar and drop in oil prices), they might panic, believing that the Fed has been robbed of its great excuse to keep rates low, and suspecting (possibly correctly) that Chairman Powell won’t stick his neck out for Trump’s sake.

newswars--2020-02-21--“That didn’t happen”: CNN Fact Checks Bloomberg ‘Crickets on Debate Stage’ Ad

Crickets were not on the debate stage Wednesday night , cable news network CNN has confirmed .
After the Michael Bloomberg campaign released an ad featuring a clip from Wednesday night ’ s debate , in which “ crickets ” are heard when the former New York City mayor asks fellow candidates if any of them had ever started a business , cable news network CNN assured its audience the video was doctored .
“ There is a video that his campaign tweeted this morning that didn ’ t happen .
It is a deceptively edited video , ” CNN @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ad .
After the ad plays , Bash says , “ Ok , that didn ’ t happen .
He said those words .
There was maybe a quick second when nobody kind of answered him and he moved on , saying , ‘ Ok . '
” Bash went on to chastise the campaign for putting out the edited video , especially in the age of deep fakes , and claimed it weakened his messaging .
“ And so his campaign is saying , ‘ Come on , it was tongue in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ But in today ’ s day and age , when we are so concerned about things that are doctored , deep fakes on the internet , number 1 .
Number 2 : his whole argument against Bernie Sanders was , ‘ You ’ re acting like Donald Trump . '
” “ So it makes it harder to take the arguments that he ’ s making seriously when he does something like this.
” Likewise , an NBC reporter also fact checked the “ manipulated ” ad : Bloomberg was set upon @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , a clear threat to his less wealthy Democrat opponents who are hemmoraging millions to keep up with him .
The claws were out last night during the Democrats 9th Presidential debate , featuring a new candidate , Mike Bloomberg .
Here are a few of the highlights from the night if you didn ’ t get a chance to watch it live .

Crickets were not on the debate stage Wednesday night, cable news network CNN has confirmed.
After the Michael Bloomberg campaign released an ad featuring a clip from Wednesday night’s debate, in which “crickets” are heard when the former New York City mayor asks fellow candidates if any of them had ever started a business, cable news network CNN assured its audience the video was doctored.
“There is a video that his campaign tweeted this morning that didn’t happen. It is a deceptively edited video,” CNN host Dana Bash said, introducing the ad.
After the ad plays, Bash says, “Ok, that didn’t happen. He said those words. There was maybe a quick second when nobody kind of answered him and he moved on, saying, ‘Ok.'”
Bash went on to chastise the campaign for putting out the edited video, especially in the age of deep fakes, and claimed it weakened his messaging.
“And so his campaign is saying, ‘Come on, it was tongue in cheek,'” Bash said. “But in today’s day and age, when we are so concerned about things that are doctored, deep fakes on the internet, number 1. Number 2: his whole argument against Bernie Sanders was, ‘You’re acting like Donald Trump.'”
Watch the ad:
“So it makes it harder to take the arguments that he’s making seriously when he does something like this.”
Likewise, an NBC reporter also fact checked the “manipulated” ad:
This video from the Bloomberg campaign has been manipulated to show a long pause & cricket sounds when Bloomberg asks if other candidates have started a business. Campaign spox tells NBC News, "It's tongue in cheek. There were obviously no crickets on the debate stage." https://t.co/C970p43kMj — Maura Barrett (@MauraBarrettNBC) February 20, 2020
Bloomberg was set upon by all sides during the debate Wednesday, a clear threat to his less wealthy Democrat opponents who are hemmoraging millions to keep up with him.

newswars--2020-02-21--CNN Asks Why Testosterone & Sperm Counts Are Plummeting in Europe and North America

CNN has published an article asking why testosterone and sperm counts are plummeting across Europe and North America , saying that if sperm was an animal it might be “ heading toward extinction in western nations.
” The article highlights how “ Total sperm count in North America , Europe , Australia and New Zealand dropped by up to 60 % in the 38 years between 1973 and 2011 ” and that more recent research shows the trend is continuing .
The article links the fall to diets made up of fatty and processed foods , but admits “ no @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and that it could also be connected with “ radiation , air pollution and chemicals in our food , clothes and water.
” The article opens with , “ If sperm was an animal , science might worry that it ’ s heading toward extinction in Western nations , ” a line which if it was uttered by a right-winger would be taken by many in the media as a dog whistle for white supremacy .
Despite admitting that sperm counts and testosterone are plummeting and that fertility rates amongst white women in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , anyone who talks about the demographic decline of white people is automatically branded a racist .
America ’ s fertility rate currently stands at 1.8 births per woman .
From 2007 to 2011 the fertility rate in the U.S. declined 9 % in the space of just 4 years .
In 2016 , the U.S. fertility rate fell to 59.8 births per 1,000 women , the lowest since records began .
Fertility rates for white women were down in every US state in 2017 , while among black and Hispanic women , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 29 states , respectively .
For an added layer of irony , consider the fact that just a few days ago , CNN celebrated “ the benefits of being single , ” something that certainly isn ’ t going to encourage people in the west to have more children .

newswars--2020-02-21--The View Freaks Out On Matt Gaetz: “Trump Should Pardon Roger Stone”

In retrospect , the hosts of The View likely wish they never brought Rep. Matt Gaetz , ( R-Fla. ) onto their set , because the GOP congressman completely destroyed the group of establishment gossipers Thursday .
Right off the bat , Gaetz came out swinging , asking Joy Behar if she was “ wearing black as a consequence of , like , the death of the political left in the debate last night.
” “ Don ’ t count the dead yet , the bodies , ” Behar replied .
“ Let ’ s give it a little time.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” Gaetz continued .
“ I was hoping that maybe Whoopi ’ s bell could wake up the Biden campaign.
” Behar responded by saying she didn ’ t think Biden did anything to hurt his candidacy during the debate .
“ What state is he going to win ?
” Gaetz asked .
“ The fundamental premise of the Biden campaign is that he ’ s ‘ electable , ’ but he can ’ t seem to win elections.
” After stating Biden has little to no chance of winning the Democratic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the ticket has become “ socialist Bernie Sanders against billionaire Michael Bloomberg.
” The conversation then drifted to Trump ’ s appointment of Richard Grenell as the acting director of national intelligence , to which Gaetz argued Grenell is well-qualified .
Next , Sunny Hostin asked Gaetz if he thinks President Trump should pardon Roger Stone and his response triggered RINO “ conservative ” Meghan McCain even more than her liberal co-hosts .
“ Oh , come on congressman !
” she shrieked after Gaetz stated , “ I do.
” “ Bill @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of a Puerto Rican terrorist organization that planned murders at the Fraunces Tavern here in The United States , ” Gaetz lectured the hosts .
In 2017 , President Barack Obama also commuted the federal prison sentence of one of the group ’ s bombmakers Oscar López Rivera so he could then march alongside communist NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio .
Possibly realizing she can ’ t debate with Gaetz when it comes to President Trump ’ s accomplishments , McCain asked Gaetz how he could support a man who “ cheated on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ GOP congressman responded by saying if they cared about presidents cheating on their spouses they ’ d have impeached Bill Clinton .
“ They did , ” the group simultaneously blurted out before Gaetz quipped , “ Not with all of you waving any pom-poms.
” Saying he wanted to answer McCain ’ s question of how people can support Trump , Gaetz explained POTUS is a “ comeback president running against the throwback left and the Venezuela wing of the Democratic party taking over with Bernie Sanders.
” “ Oh come on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ apparently unaware of Sanders ’ fondness of Venezuela , Cuba , Nicaragua , the Soviet Union and many Marxist , socialist and communist revolutionaries .
“ He praises Venezuela , he praises Cuba and I don ’ t want that for our great country , ” Gaetz declared , concluding the interview .

In retrospect, the hosts of The View likely wish they never brought Rep. Matt Gaetz, (R-Fla.) onto their set, because the GOP congressman completely destroyed the group of establishment gossipers Thursday.
Right off the bat, Gaetz came out swinging, asking Joy Behar if she was “wearing black as a consequence of, like, the death of the political left in the debate last night.”
“Don’t count the dead yet, the bodies,” Behar replied. “Let’s give it a little time.”
“Joe Biden at least,” Gaetz continued. “I was hoping that maybe Whoopi’s bell could wake up the Biden campaign.”
Behar responded by saying she didn’t think Biden did anything to hurt his candidacy during the debate.
“What state is he going to win?” Gaetz asked. “The fundamental premise of the Biden campaign is that he’s ‘electable,’ but he can’t seem to win elections.”
After stating Biden has little to no chance of winning the Democratic nomination, Gaetz moved on to say the ticket has become “socialist Bernie Sanders against billionaire Michael Bloomberg.”
The conversation then drifted to Trump’s appointment of Richard Grenell as the acting director of national intelligence, to which Gaetz argued Grenell is well-qualified.
Next, Sunny Hostin asked Gaetz if he thinks President Trump should pardon Roger Stone and his response triggered RINO “conservative” Meghan McCain even more than her liberal co-hosts.
“Oh, come on congressman!” she shrieked after Gaetz stated, “I do.”
“Bill Clinton pardoned sixteen people who were members of a Puerto Rican terrorist organization that planned murders at the Fraunces Tavern here in The United States,” Gaetz lectured the hosts.
In 2017, President Barack Obama also commuted the federal prison sentence of one of the group’s bombmakers Oscar López Rivera so he could then march alongside communist NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio.
Possibly realizing she can’t debate with Gaetz when it comes to President Trump’s accomplishments, McCain asked Gaetz how he could support a man who “cheated on his wife with a pornstar.”
The GOP congressman responded by saying if they cared about presidents cheating on their spouses they’d have impeached Bill Clinton.
“They did,” the group simultaneously blurted out before Gaetz quipped, “Not with all of you waving any pom-poms.”
Saying he wanted to answer McCain’s question of how people can support Trump, Gaetz explained POTUS is a “comeback president running against the throwback left and the Venezuela wing of the Democratic party taking over with Bernie Sanders.”
“Oh come on, Venezuela,” Behar griped, apparently unaware of Sanders’ fondness of Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, the Soviet Union and many Marxist, socialist and communist revolutionaries.
“He praises Venezuela, he praises Cuba and I don’t want that for our great country,” Gaetz declared, concluding the interview.

The finding could affect how researchers test for treatments related to plaque buildup in our arteries , or atherosclerosis , an issue that can often lead to a heart attack , which is currently a leading cause of death in the United States .
The fat , known as perivascular adipose tissue , or PVAT , helps arteries do what scientists call “ stress relax , ” or let go @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
This is similar to the bladder , which expands to accommodate more liquid while at the same time keeping it from spilling out .
“ In our study , PVAT reduced the tension that blood vessels experience when stretched , ” said Stephanie Watts , MSU professor of pharmacology and toxicology in the College of Osteopathic Medicine .
“ And that ’ s a good thing , because the vessel then expends less energy .
It ’ s not under as much stress.
” What made the finding so exciting , Watts @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the journal Scientific Reports , is that PVAT has largely been ignored by researchers who have thought its main job was to store lipids and do little more .
Now her findings , built on previous results , could help redefine the way scientists view blood vessels .
Right now , scientists only divide blood vessels into three parts , the innermost layer called the tunica intima , the middle layer called the tunica media and the outermost layer called the tunica adventitia .
Watts would like scientists to recognize PVAT as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ called tunica adiposa – tunica means a membranous sheath enveloping or lining an organ and adiposa is a synonym for fat .
“ For years , we ignored this layer – in the lab it was thrown out ; in the clinic it wasn ’ t imaged .
But now we ’ re discovering it may be integral to our blood vessels , ” Watts said .
“ Our finding redefines what the functional blood vessels are and is part of what can be dysfunctional in diseases that afflict us , including hypertension @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this layer of a blood vessel because it does far more than we originally thought.
” Other investigators have shown that PVAT plays a role in the functioning of blood vessels , finding that it secretes substances that can cause blood vessels to relax as well as substances that can cause it to contract .
But Watts and her colleagues wanted to test whether PVAT itself , rather than the substances it secretes , might play a role in how blood vessels perform .
So , they decided to test whether PVAT provides @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the function of stress relaxation .
To do that , they tested the thoracic aorta in rats and found those with intact PVAT had more stress relaxation than those without .
“ My mind was blown , ” Watts said when she saw that the pieces with surrounding fat had measurably relaxed more than those without .
“ I made every single person in my lab come and look and I asked , ‘ Tell me if I ’ m hallucinating…do you think this is real ?
’ ” Watts and her colleagues @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to duplicate the same response .
“ So , this tells us , it ’ s not just a one off , ” Watts said .
“ It ’ s not something you see only in this particular vessel or this particular species or this particular strain .
But that maybe it ’ s a general phenomenon.

A Michigan State University researcher is adding new evidence to the argument that the fat around our arteries may play an important role in keeping those blood vessels healthy.
The finding could affect how researchers test for treatments related to plaque buildup in our arteries, or atherosclerosis, an issue that can often lead to a heart attack, which is currently a leading cause of death in the United States.
The fat, known as perivascular adipose tissue, or PVAT, helps arteries do what scientists call “stress relax,” or let go of muscular tension while under constant strain. This is similar to the bladder, which expands to accommodate more liquid while at the same time keeping it from spilling out.
“In our study, PVAT reduced the tension that blood vessels experience when stretched,” said Stephanie Watts, MSU professor of pharmacology and toxicology in the College of Osteopathic Medicine. “And that’s a good thing, because the vessel then expends less energy. It’s not under as much stress.”
What made the finding so exciting, Watts said, whose study was recently published in the journal Scientific Reports, is that PVAT has largely been ignored by researchers who have thought its main job was to store lipids and do little more. Now her findings, built on previous results, could help redefine the way scientists view blood vessels.
Right now, scientists only divide blood vessels into three parts, the innermost layer called the tunica intima, the middle layer called the tunica media and the outermost layer called the tunica adventitia.
Watts would like scientists to recognize PVAT as the fourth layer, which others have called tunica adiposa – tunica means a membranous sheath enveloping or lining an organ and adiposa is a synonym for fat.
“For years, we ignored this layer – in the lab it was thrown out; in the clinic it wasn’t imaged. But now we’re discovering it may be integral to our blood vessels,” Watts said. “Our finding redefines what the functional blood vessels are and is part of what can be dysfunctional in diseases that afflict us, including hypertension. We need to pay attention to this layer of a blood vessel because it does far more than we originally thought.”
Other investigators have shown that PVAT plays a role in the functioning of blood vessels, finding that it secretes substances that can cause blood vessels to relax as well as substances that can cause it to contract.
But Watts and her colleagues wanted to test whether PVAT itself, rather than the substances it secretes, might play a role in how blood vessels perform. So, they decided to test whether PVAT provides a structural benefit to arteries by assisting the function of stress relaxation.
To do that, they tested the thoracic aorta in rats and found those with intact PVAT had more stress relaxation than those without.
“My mind was blown,” Watts said when she saw that the pieces with surrounding fat had measurably relaxed more than those without. “I made every single person in my lab come and look and I asked, ‘Tell me if I’m hallucinating…do you think this is real?’”
Watts and her colleagues also tested other arteries and were able to duplicate the same response.
“So, this tells us, it’s not just a one off,” Watts said. “It’s not something you see only in this particular vessel or this particular species or this particular strain. But that maybe it’s a general phenomenon.”
