80 years ago today, newspapers in Europe carried news of the unexpected death of a very important man, in a hotel miles from the nearest city.
A man who, said some, was helping the Allies win the war.
But there was a twist to the tale. The man in question wasn't actually dead

Given China’s deteriorating legal protections and stringent capital controls, the renminbi is nowhere close to challenging the dollar's status as a global reserve currency, writes @CFR_org’s @BennSteil. https://t.co/Sui1o0KPUI

For those who think that China's rapid development in the 1990s and 2000s was driven mainly by the unleashing of the private sector, and not by active government intervention, here is what Wu Jinglian has to say in this piece on Ryutaro Komiya:

While Adam Posen correctly recognizes the problems the Chinese economy currently faces, his explanation of what has gone wrong, and what Beijing must do to revive the economy is, in my opinion, completely off the mark.

The @WorldBank and other MDBs should embrace a triple mandate by adding global public goods to their current goals of eliminating extreme poverty and boosting shared prosperity, argue @LHSummers and @NKSingh_MP. https://t.co/J1yLUj0VXY

The global economy & global health are inextricably linked. This morning, I urged @g20org Finance Ministers & Central Bank Governors to:
1. prioritize the #G20 Joint Finance & Health Task Force’s work
2. invest in the Pandemic Fund
3. see health as a productive sector
Together!

A quick thread on Blinken's visit to China -- Day 1: The readouts by both sides are fairly positive --more positive than I expected. The PRC readout says "China is committed to building a stable, predictable, and constructive China-U.S. relationship." That's important. 1/n

With the 1st 🇨🇳–Central Asia summit (C+5), the G-7 & the BRICS summits approaching,

it is a good time for a closer look at Beijing’s global network of regional China+x mechanisms?

What are they?

What do they reveal about 🇨🇳’s foreign policy approach?

While I agree with much that @paulkrugman says in this article, he's wrong about this: "Even economic analysts like Michael Pettis," he says, "seem to believe that dollar dominance is the only reason America can run persistent large trade deficits."

For decades, the American foreign-policy establishment and economic policymakers were united by the shared belief that trade was good for the US. But the rise of China has triggered a significant shift in perspective, notes @Bruegel_org’s @pisaniferry. https://t.co/6QACkZjxE5
