William Jones: What could we expect from a Xi-Trump meeting?
The world breathed a sigh of relief when it was announced that President Donald Trump and President Xi Jinping spoke by phone and then announced that they will be meeting on the sidelines of the Osaka G20 summit.

William Jones: The U.S. Could Be Shooting Itself in the Foot with Huawei Sanctions
The near-hysteria in Washington over the expansion of Huawei worldwide and its development of 5G technology has provided some much sought ammunition for politicians here in Washington with a dearth of ideas for resolving America’s economic woes, and may have some short-sighted benefit for them among a populace fearful that the direction of American society is on a downward spiral. Finding a scapegoat for the country’s dilemma apart from the powers in Washington that actually determine the fate of the nation, is always a welcome relief for those power-brokers who hold themselves above scrutiny. And preventing a competing nation from becoming an integral contributor to the vital communications networks on which the world increasingly depends is an added boon. And yet the attempt to undermine Huawei from becoming a bigger player in the world’s communications systems may in fact sabotage the growth of U.S. companies engaged in the same field.
