Ding Gang: Where has Americans’ income gone?
Where has Americans' income gone? To answer this question, we need to look at the earnings of the biggest companies in the stock market. Apple, for example, was number one, with a net income of $57.4 billion in 2020, up from $14 billion in 2010. Of course, the growth of income of the senior executives at big companies and the big investors is even more startling. In January, The New York Times reported that "America's richest 10 percent, who own more than 80 percent of US stocks, have seen their wealth more than triple in 30 years, while the bottom 50 percent, relying on their day jobs in real markets to survive, had zero gains."

John Ross: London’s China policy will be decided in DC
The UK has become a center of a new cold war with anti-China government activity. It has banned the TV broadcasting of China's English language CGTN network. It has overturned its previous decision to allow Huawei to participate in the development of the UK's 5G network. It has announced its intention to send an aircraft carrier to the South China Sea.
