The US request for a Joe Biden-Xi Jinping summit reflected at least a partial realisation by the US that its attempt to bully or coerce China, launched by Trump, has been entirely unsuccessful.

William Jones: Countries Will Look to China for Sustenance after Emerging from COVID Restrictions
Some of the “wags” in the international financial media are doing some crowing over their conjectured China’s imminent economic demise, pointing to the country’s slowing down in GDP growth in the third quarter (Q3), which stood at 4.9 percent over the same period of last year. It was much slower than the increase of 18.3 percent in Q1 and 7.9 percent in Q2. And they in particular dwelt on China’s Evergrande crisis and recent power shortages. London’s Financial Times trumpets, “China Manufacturing Slows As Property and Energy Woes Hit Economy” while Bloomberg highlights, “China Economy Weakens As Power Crunch, COVID Rules Hurt.” But, as so often has been the case in times past, the oracles of the London-New York financial press are wrong again. China is opening the fourth China International Import Expo in Shanghai in early November and the turnout from international companies is quite sizeable with many high-tech firms eager to tap into the Chinese market.

Vijay Prashad: Why are both Republicans and Democrats so obsessed with Cuba?
US Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) appears to be obsessed with Cuba. Every few days he takes to social media or makes remarks to the press about his desire to overthrow the Cuban Revolution. In recent months, Rubio has played a key role in drumming up support for anti-government protests in Cuba. On September 23, 2021, for instance, Rubio tweeted, “The brave people of Cuba lost their fear of protesting against the dictatorship that represses them. Holguín raises its voice against tyranny.” Rubio included an article about the Cuban town of Holguín in his tweet, where “a group of Cuban citizens” are planning to hold a “march against violence” on November 20. This article appeared in Diario de Cuba, a news site based in Miami, Florida, which from 2016 to 2019 received substantial funding from the National Endowment for Democracy, an independent nonprofit that is largely funded by the US Congress.

William Jones: U.S. companies express increased interest in this year's CIIE
While the Biden Administration is cooking up new ways to restrict Western reliance on "supply chains" connected to China, most recently in the U.S.-EU trade agreement where the two committed to use only "clean" aluminum and steel (produced in plants not fueled by coal), the major U.S. companies are traveling to Shanghai for the China International Import Expo (CIIE) to exhibit their wares and to establish a firm footing in the Chinese market. In fact, this year there are 198 American companies exhibiting at the CIIE, more than in any of the three preceding CIIEs.
