@IsabellaMWeber That looks like it’s only secondary market prices. That’s like 8% of the market. Other prices have barely fallen.

@Darkdeedfiles @WhiteHouse Just what Americans wanted and needed…a photo op. Thanks Trump. Btw there wasn’t any deal fyi

[Eastern Imperialist @hambrelobo]

@WhiteHouse What in the Holy F is this? Was the White House hacked by the Chinese to display Chinese propaganda? More like Chinese power back on the world stage amirite?

[Eastern Imperialist @hambrelobo]

@TheStalwart Long history of MFA sharing fake/unverified images.

@KaiserKuo Similar to the outcry in China when they banned instagram and Facebook huh?

[Eastern Imperialist @hambrelobo]

@marlene4719 I think offensive and insulting was the point

[Eastern Imperialist @hambrelobo]

@gabewildau Far more prevalent? And influential? Based on what empirical evidence are you making these claims?

@TaylorOgan @Huawei When is the quad fold phone coming out?

[Eastern Imperialist @hambrelobo]

@chenweihua Your source is a Chinese person making stuff up

[Eastern Imperialist @hambrelobo]

@OldChinaBland The mainlandization of Hong Kong

[Eastern Imperialist @hambrelobo]

@gave_vincent Does the Chinese media do its readers a disservice?

[Eastern Imperialist @hambrelobo]

@NuryVittachi Question - why so much handwringing cry babying about Western media coverage of China? Where are all the studies of Chinese media coverage of the West?! That would be a horror show.

[Eastern Imperialist @hambrelobo]

@NuryVittachi Of course they are! For good reason. China kicked out all the reporters. Would anyone then expect them to report rosy stories about China? It’s absurd to think otherwise.

[Eastern Imperialist @hambrelobo]

@gave_vincent Maybe they should allow foreign reporters to report from China…just a thought

[Eastern Imperialist @hambrelobo]

@liqian_ren That’s not what he means by deserve

[Eastern Imperialist @hambrelobo]

@yangliuxh The real question in all of this is why the heck does China lump North America and Oceania into the same Department?? Is the ‘white people who aren’t European’ Department. This just shows how parochial and racist they are. No wonder their foreign policy is a disaster.

[Eastern Imperialist @hambrelobo]

@pretentiouswhat @adam_tooze No. But there’s nothing novel about steel

[Eastern Imperialist @hambrelobo]

@chenweihua @afshinrattansi Or enlightenment about the threat and concerned they will be used again. Not everyone is living in the 1930s like you and your “aggrieved” countrymen.

@GrahamTAllison You can’t exclude the real estate sector. Besides Everything else is just the exporting sector, which is not a sign of investor confidence in China.
