economists view: Most economists view lower tariffs as a win for the U.S. economy, even if China doesn't reciprocate, according to The Japan Times. Of course, they say, the world economy would be even stronger if tariffs were lowered across the board. Unilaterally raising tariffs, as Trump is threatening, is akin to punishing U.S. consumers for China's misbehavior. There are a handful of economists, however, who disagree and they can be split into two basic schools of thought, one of which might provide some hint of a method to Trump's madness. ; Call the first the neo-mercantilist school. Since imports subtract from GDP while exports add to it, Navarro argues, the U.S. economy would be stronger if it imported less and exported more. Neo-mercantilists, such as Trump adviser Peter Navarro, see the United State's trade deficit with China as inherently bad. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.

china: The ongoing feud has raised costs on goods for consumers and companies, according to The Japan Times. The U.S. and China have raised tariffs on tens of billions of dollars of each other's goods in their dispute over U.S. complaints about Chinese technology ambitions. The U.S. was set to impose higher tariffs on China on Friday, a day after representatives from both nations were scheduled to resume trade talks Thursday in Washington. ; The looming deadline followed President Donald Trump's threat on Sunday to raise tariffs on China in a bid to pressure Beijing to reach a long-sought resolution to the trade conflict between the world's two biggest economies. Washington has accused Beijing of reneging on its commitments and is preparing to raise import taxes on 200 billion of Chinese goods to 25% from 10%, and to impose tariffs on another 325 billion in imports, covering everything the country ships annually to the United States. That expectation helped boost the stock market's rally this year. The possibility that the trade dispute could escalate represents a marked shift from just a few weeks ago, when talks between the U.S. and China appeared to be on track for an agreement.

rope line: We're better than that, Biden said as he kicked off a rally in the Las Vegas suburb of Henderson in front of about 200 people, according to The Japan Times. But after his speech, as he posed for selfies and took pictures along the rope line, he brushed off the questions of a Latino teenager who asked Biden if, as president, he'd commit to ending U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's practice of issuing detainers for immigrants who are arrested or convicted of a crime while in the country illegally. Biden, making his first visit as a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate to heavily Latino Nevada, said President Donald Trump uses immigration to demonize people. ; It isn't who we are.

state council: Analysts familiar with how the government works said the document will help regulate, clarify and provide a legal basis for government investment, according to Global Times China. The government should focus on investment in areas such as public welfare, infrastructure, agriculture and rural areas, as well as environmental protection, major scientific and technological advances, social management, national security and other public projects, according to the 4,000-character regulation. The State Council, China's cabinet, on Sunday released new regulations for the government's investing activities, addressing a wide range of issues from restrictions on government investment to guiding principles to specific procedures, to provide a better positioning of the role of government-led spending and improve social efficiency. Other sectors are supposed to be invested in by the private sector. According to domestic financial news site yicai, government investment amounts to 3 trillion yuan 443.37 billion . Feng Liguo, a research fellow with the research center at China Minsheng Bank, said the regulation will restrict local governments, which have huge say in how to invest fiscal budgets. For government officials, the regulation will be a basic safeguard as they will henceforth have a concrete idea of the boundaries of their responsibility instead of relying on think tanks' advice or following their gut feelings, Ye Qing, a professor with Wuhan-based Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, told the Global Times.

tariffs: The Trump administration has threatened to raise tariffs on 200 billion of Chinese goods to 25% from 10% early Friday, according to Market Watch. Trump also said the U.S. would place tariffs on the rest of the 325 billion of untaxed Chinese imports at the 25% rate. In an interview with CNBC, Gundlach said the Trump administration and Beijing policy makers were unlikely to cede ground in recent trade negotiations, raising the risk that trade tensions could last longer than investors anticipate. Gundlach estimated the chance that the U.S. would follow through at more than 50%. The market obviously doesn't want increased tariffs, so it's been kind of reacting to that, said Gundlach. Before this week, market participants had mostly assumed a deal to resolve longstanding trade tensions between Washington and Beijing would arrive soon. Equities have retreated over the last two sessions as investors were blindsided by the possibility of another trade spat. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
