mainstays: The two honed in on his hereby declaration last week that he has the power to stop private U.S. companies from trading with the second-largest world economy, according to MSNBC. Both Fox News mainstays blamed the media in different ways. Bartiromo and former Utah Republican congressman Jason Chaffetz spoke Sunday morning about the market's potential reaction to Trump's retaliatory tariffs on Chinese imports. Chaffetz said the U.S. media was simply exaggerating Trump's hereby declaration of trading power, while Bartiromo outright blamed left U.S. media coverage for undercutting Trump's authority in the U.S.-China trade war. That's one reason that I believe China saw the media beating up on president Trump over the last two years as everybody was in this 'collusion delusion' for two years. One important fact to make is that the media has been basically taking a side and they've taken the side of the left, Bartiromo said on Sunday Morning Futures. (news.financializer.com).

chinese goods: Starting on October 1, the US will raise tariffs on 250 billion in Chinese goods to 30 percent from 25 percent, according to Global Times China. Starting on September 1, tariffs on another 300 billion in products will be increased to 15 percent from 10 percent, US President Donald Trump tweeted on Friday after China announced new tariffs on 75 billion in US goods. The further it goes toward a dead end on trade unilateralism, the worse its economy suffers and the more isolated it becomes in the world trade, analysts said. In a stern response to US threat to raise tariffs on 550 billion of Chinese imports, China's Ministry of Commerce on Saturday urged the US not to misjudge the situation and not to underestimate the determination of the Chinese people. The US' unilateral and bullying trade protectionism and its extreme pressure tactic violate the consensus reached by the top leaders of China and the US, go against the principle of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit, seriously undermine the multilateral trading system and the normal international trade order. The US should stop the wrong actions; otherwise, all consequences must be borne by the US side, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce said in a statement. (news.financializer.com).

everyone: The entire world is roughly 225% leveraged to its economic output, according to Market Watch. Emerging markets are a bit less and advanced economies a little more. While some countries are more indebted than others, few are in good shape. But, regardless, everyone's real debt is likely much bigger, since the official totals miss a lot of unfunded liabilities and other obligations. It has a price, which like anything else can go up or down. Debt is an asset owned by the lender. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.

offer: Unizo had rejected H.I.S.'s offer, saying it was too low and lacked synergy, according to The Japan Times. Instead it backed the bid made by Fortress Investment Group, a Soft Bank Group-owned asset manager that offered to buy all the shares for 4,000 apiece. H.I.S., which already has a 4.79 percent stake in Unizo, last month launched an offer to buy about 40 percent of its shares at 3,100 apiece. ; H.I.S. said in a statement that no shares were tendered to its offer that ran until Friday. The tug-of-war over Unizo marked a stark departure from the way most acquisitions are handled in Japan, where takeovers tend to be pre-agreed deals waiting to be rubber-stamped. Indeed, Fortress could be pressured by minority shareholders to raise its price, market participants had said. H.I.S.'s surprise hostile bid has helped Unizo shares more than double since July 9 the day before the travel agent's offer was announced and provided a boost for minority shareholders.

u.s: The move followed the U.S. government's plan for new tariffs on 300 billion a year of Chinese imports, according to Xinhua China. Any enforcement of new U.S. levies will further heighten tensions, and China will have to take countermeasures, Ministry of Commerce spokesman Gao Feng said Thursday at a press conference. Some of the new Chinese tariffs, which will be 5% or 10%, will take effect Sept. 1 and the rest Dec. 15. Any escalation will hurt U.S. customers and companies and increase the chances of a global recession, he said. FINANCE & ECONOMICS Hong Kong / Three banks condemn Hong Kong violence through ads Two British banks and a Hong Kong local bank spoke up through newspaper ads, condemning violence in the city and calling for a peaceful resolution. President Donald Trump in a tweet vowed further reaction and said he ordered American companies to find alternatives to doing business in China. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.

companies: In response, Trump wrote on Twitter later Friday Our great American companies are hereby ordered to immediately start looking for an alternative to China including bringing ...your companies HOME and making your products in the USA. When leaving the White House for the G7 summit in France, Trump told reporters, I have the absolute right to do that, but we'll see how it goes, according to CNN. He later explained that he was referring to the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act IEEPA and in a Friday tweet wrote For all of the Fake News Reporters that don't have a clue as to what the law is relative to Presidential powers, China, etc., try looking at the Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977. On Friday, China unveiled a new round of retaliatory tariffs on about 75 billion worth of US goods, the latest escalation in an on-going trade war that's putting a strain on the world's two largest economies. Case closed! Where Trump's 'emergency power' on foreign business comes from Trump's latest comments again raise questions as to how far the President's authority goes under the IEEPA. In May, Trump threatened to slap Mexico with punitive tariffs unless it slowed the passage of migrants from Central America to the US. The IEEPA, according to the Congressional Research Service, has never been invoked to impose tariffs, and Trump ultimately drew back at the last minute. Under the IEEPA, the President has to consult with Congress before invoking his authority and, after declaring a national emergency, send a report to Congress explaining why. The IEEPA, passed in the wake of Watergate and Vietnam, gives Trump broad authority to regulate a variety of economic transactions following a declaration of national emergency, according to an analysis by the CRS.

kind: There is some kind of bureaucratic obstacle that stops us selling them in the US because they are allegedly too low, he said, according to The Guardian. The comments echoed Johnson's use of a kipper in the Tory leadership campaign to bemoan EU bureaucracy though the rule in question subsequently turned out to be a British one. Speaking to reporters en route to the G7 summit in the French town of Biarritz, Johnson listed a string of British products, from cars to cauliflowers and pork pies to rulers, which he claimed faced unnecessary export barriers in the US. You may not know this, but there are currently restrictions on the sale of British-made shower trays to the US. We've sold 250,000 shower trays around the world. There are tariffs on cars, there are tariffs on railway carriages in the US of 14%, whereas we only have a tariff of 1.7% in the UK on American railway carriages arriving here, Johnson said. Not a morsel of British beef has entered the US market, he added. It's not just beef or lamb that is currently banned from entering the US in spite of their commitment to overturn that prohibition in 2014. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.

video conference: The Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications' budget request for fiscal 2020, to be submitted at the end of August, will include 1.5 billion 14 million for research and development of the technology, they said, according to The Japan Times. Japan envisions a future of communications networks involving satellites that will allow the use of the encryption technology during video conference calls with foreign leaders and exchanges of confidential diplomatic information. The next-generation technology is seen as allowing greater encryption security for diplomatic and business correspondence, and Japan is trying not to fall behind nations like the United States and China, which have invested in quantum information science. ; The government wants an environment in 2025 where quantum encryption can be used across Japan and will study how to use optical fiber networks already in place, the sources said Friday. The technology entails transmitting photons via an optic fiber to the receiving unit, where they turn into a single-use key to decrypt a parallel stream of data. If a third party intercepts the data transmission, the photons will be modified so that there will be no key. Stealing information sent using quantum cryptography methods is difficult, as the photons are in indeterminate states representing various possible patterns of ones and zeros at the same time until they are observed.

reactions: Reactions to news last month that Amazon's voice-controlled digital assistant Alexa was to begin using NHS website information to answer health queries were many and varied, according to The Guardian. US-based healthcare tech analysts say the deal is just the latest of a series of recent moves that together reveal an audacious, long-term strategy on the part of Amazon. Critics saw it as a sign of creeping privatisation and a data-protection disaster in waiting. From its entry into the lucrative prescription drugs market and development of AI tools to analyse patient records, to Alexa apps that manage diabetes and data-driven experiments on how to cut medical bills, the 900bn global giant's determination to make the digital disruption of healthcare a central part of its future business model is becoming increasingly clear.
