China's global outbound M&A has collapsed since the COVID outbreak. This is only a 5-month snapshot but thus far there is no evidence for a massive buying spree capitalizing on the crisis.

US officials have been working hard for decades to uphold CFIUS reputation as ultima ratio tool that is narrowly focused on national security threats only. This extortionist rhetoric is not just without legal basis but also a slap in the face for all these public servants
President Trump said he set a September deadline for TikTok to be sold to “a very American company,” or it will be shut down in the U.S. And he wants the federal government to get a cut of the sale https://t.co/k3KpXEb3T1
This is a love triangle.
US: China controls TikTok 👿
TikTok: We are an American business 😢
China: Don't mess with our companies 🤬

I'm proud that @duolingo, the most valuable startup in PA, is seen as an inspiration for Pittsburgh. Unfortunately, if the US policies against (extremely qualified) immigration continue, we'll be forced to move jobs (and inspiration) to Toronto @SenToomey@SenBobCasey@billpeduto
New data released today by @FirstStreetFdn discloses the flood risk for all 142 million homes and properties in the US. Rhodium Group and our research partners at @impact_lab helped create the model https://t.co/HUgRcVsdG5
This is what reality at US universities looks like. Foreigners represent two-thirds of engineering / STEM students. #H1Bvisas are critical to retaining this talent and thus for long-term US competitiveness.
Becoming the preeminent locus of agglomeration for the world's plucky up-and-comers has been one of the US's greatest achievements and most potent advantages.
The immigration order signed by @realDonaldTrump is a step in the wrong direction on #immigration policy. The U.S. should be headed toward policy that brings #entrepreneurs to start new companies and brilliant scientists and technologists who can tackle #healthcare challenges.
I came to the US on an h1b visa. I’d like to think I’ve been a net positive for the country.
RT if you or a family member are also an immigrant who has been net positive for the US

LEAK: If you want to read the 57-page (draft) white paper on foreign subsidies, follow the link.

The Trump administration’s greater scrutiny of Chinese acquisitions of American companies on national security grounds has contributed to a collapse of investment flows into the US @tmitchpk @donweinland@FT

Household debt in China now totals 128% of income. Credit card debt in China now exceeds US levels in absolute terms. Fallout from COVID-19 threatens to intensify these household borrowing risks, with implications for China's economic recovery
