The most important thing the United States should do is to “just stop, drop the tariffs” on Chinese products, because these are irrational, John Ross, a senior fellow at the Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies, Renmin University of China, said in an interview with Shenzhen TV, adding that the irrational tariff policy of the Trump administration not only harmed China's interests, but also resulted in extremely high costs for American companies and consumers, and had a negative impact on the world economy.
Picture this. Someone tells you that if you invest 1 yuan ($0.15), you will harvest 100 trillion yuan after 100 years. This means that the yearly return is 38 percent, which is twice that of US investor and business tycoon Warren Buffet over the past 50 years. Given this scenario, would you invest? No one would have faith in this long-lasting and stable rate of return. But the Communist Party of China has done it.

Shortly after the Spring Festival, China begins its annual “political season” with the convening of the Two Sessions, the session of the National People’s Congress (NPC) and that of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC). This year both of these events have a very special significance.

This will be the source of a great deal of celebration throughout the year.

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."
Both Britain's ban on CGTN, and these well-understood threats of victimization, show clearly that the claim that what exists in the West is a "free media" is entirely untrue. The struggle against the British ban on CGTN is important not only as an issue in itself but as part of more general situation in the West.
