WEF20: US-China deal is a disaster, former White House economist says
DAVOS, Switzerland – The U.S.-China phase one deal does not address structural problems in the bilateral trade relationship, a panel of trade experts at the World Economic Forum said Tuesday.
After about two years of a tit-for-tat tariffs dispute, the two largest world economies seemed to have calmed the debate last week with the signing of an initial agreement. The deal didn't roll back all tariffs imposed between Washington D.C. and Beijing, but both parties agreed to discuss that during the next round of trade negotiations.

Ben Shapiro: AOC preaches economic nonsense leading to exploitation, tyranny and loss of our

On Monday, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez , D-N.Y., sat for a discussion with author Ta-Nehisi Coates. She dropped a number of shocking statements -- statements that elicited nothing but murmurs of agreement from Coates.
Hypothetically speaking about billionaires making widgets, she said : "You didn't make those widgets! You sat on a couch while thousands of people were paid modern-day slave wages and, in some cases, real modern-day slavery ... You made that money off the backs of undocumented people."
Red flag for economic growth as China's birth rate hits lowest level in modern history -
By 2030 population changes will shave half a percentage point from China's annual GDP growth: Capital Economics
* * *
BEIJING — China's birth rate fell to its lowest level in the country's modern history, hastening the aging of the population and the shrinking of the workforce, despite the government's efforts to reverse the trend.
Already, nearly a fifth of China's population is age 60 or older. A shrinking working-age population can dent the economy through lower productivity and higher labor costs, while an increasing number of elderly pushes up health-care costs. South Korea and Japan are facing similar problems but on a much smaller scale.
