After US administration's chip export ban to China, 'chip war' between two countries has officially begun. 
Any business with operations in the US is now banned from exporting any chipmaking equipment to Chinese customers that cannot be provided by foreign competitors.
The ban is already having an impact. Dutch company ASML, the world’s only producer of the lithography machines that are vital in the semiconductor production process, has reportedly instructed US-based staff to have no contact with Chinese customers

2. In 1972, China needed to avert a terrestrial invasion from #USSR. The #UnitedStates was keen to gain a heavy-weight partner to checkmate #Moscow; but the long-term objective was to bring the most populous country into a rising US-led global economic order for the US to profit
3. In the following decades, the relationship was not void of tensions. However, strategic interests were important enough to save it from #TaiwanRelationsAct, #Reagan anti #communism and support for #Taiwan; #TiananmenSquare; #StraitCrisis 1995-1996; #Belgrade bombing
What Is a CoO?
A certificate of origin is a document declaring in which country a commodity or good was manufactured
A certificate of origin is a document declaring in which country a commodity or good was manufactured
The certificate of origin contains information regarding the product, its destination, and the country of export marked “Made in USA” or “Made in China”.
Required by many treaty agreements for cross-border trade, the CO is an important form because it can help determine whether certain goods are eligible for import, or whether goods are subject to duties.

🧵Another ICYMI 🚨- Yesterday, DOJ (for USTR) filed its master response to the ~3600 complaints (consolidated) re the #Section301 tariffs imposed as part of what is now seen as a #tradewar w/ #China. The gov lists its anticipated defenses. But 1st, let's review the claims ... /1
Per DOJ, #HMTX and thousands of others make the following claims: 1) promulgation of List 3 and List 4A [the Lists] violated the 1974 Trade Act; 2) the Gov violated the APA in promulgating them; 3) the Lists violated the Constitution; and, 4) the Lists violated the GATT /2
Here are DOJ/USTR's anticipated defenses, abbreviated slightly: 1) USTR was acting @ the direction of POTUS and POTUS not subject to APA; 2) Review of POTUS discretionary decision + USTR’s implementation of it presents a non-justiciable, political question; 3) Even if /3

After being detained on a ship off the Chinese coast for seven months, 23 Indian seafarers can now return home. The seafarers wanted to deliver Australian coal to China on the Indian ship "Jag Anand"
After being detained on a ship off the Chinese coast for seven months, 23 Indian seafarers can now return home. The seafarers wanted to deliver Australian coal to China on the Indian ship "Jag Anand"
when they got caught between the front lines of a conflict between Australia and China, said the Indian Seafarers' Union's general secretary, Abdulgani Serang.
Canberra banned the Chinese telecom operator Huawei from setting up a 5G network in Australia and Beijing in return imposed a trade embargo on key Australian exports such as coal. So the seamen had to endure in Chinese waters.

Due to the ongoing trade dispute between Australia and China and the Sars-CoV 19 pandemic, a group of Indian sailors who have been stranded in Chinese territorial waters
have called for a "intervention" from the Indian government. Indian sailors make up a sizeable proportion of the world's merchant navy crews, as documented by Maritime Union of India (MUI). "We have been stuck here for a year now. We can't get medical treatment, we can't go out.
Our supplies are already running out," Gaurav Singh, a second officer aboard MV Anastasia, says in a video put up by Change.Org on Wednesday.

- one trick pony (export one commodity)
- too much leverage (financial or over optimised supply chain)

In the context of economic globalization, effects of bilateral-based tariff and trade agreement often tends to be limited. An article by Gao Shanwen on the impact of China-US #tradewar on #Chinese real economy: cf40.org.cn/uploads/newsle…
Despite trade tension, share of #Chinese exports in global trade has remained stable since beginning of this year. While re-export trade and substitution effect are reasons behind this, the influence of exchange rate should not be ignored either.
The depreciation of RMB exchange rate caused by trade war has largely spread the impact of trade war on Chinese exports to other economies around the world, making China's share of global trade stable.

China data: Inflation Rate +3.8% YoY (3% last month), a material part a DOUBLING of pork 🐽 prices in October.
Yet Chinese PPI (i.e. prices from producers, e.g. factories etc) was -1.6% (-1.2% last month).
So inflation for consumers, deflation for producers

So China really needs to get pork prices down, it's by far the most popular meat there (China eats HALF the world's pork!).
And half their pig population has been decimated by swine flu (450 million pigs when at capacity, so half of these lost).
And pigs eat SOY BEANS...

China has been sorting soy bean deals with Russia, Argentina (some folk tracking shipments from S. America which are up a lot), although the MSM just talk about the #beandeal and nothing else...

China’s exports to the US has declined sharply since this year, due to ongoing #tradewar, while those to Japan, the EU, Vietnam and the Philippines have witnessed gradual increase, said CF40 member Gao Shanwen, cf40.org.cn/uploads/newsle… 1/6
Generally, the share of Chinese exports in global trade has remained stable. The reasons include re-export trade. Products like boiler and motor that China usually exported to the US, have witnessed significant increase in export this year to the EU and Vietnam. 2/6
Another factor is exchange rate. In June and July last year when trade tension underwent rapid escalation, RMB depreciated against a basket of currencies by as much as 5%. RMB exchange rate on average depreciated by 3% compared with six months prior to the trade war. 3/6
Since this year, the share of Chinese exports in global trade
has remained stable. While re-export trade and substitution effect are reasons behind
this, the influence of exchange rate should not be ignored either, said CF40 member Gao Shanwen, cf40.org.cn/uploads/newsle… 1/6

John @batchelorshow, a talk show host on WABC in New York, said the #TradeWar has highlighted how “China’s business model is broken.”
US #Tariffs have taught companies they can move their supply chains out of #China, without being subject to unfair trade practices.

Standard Chartered 1/5: #USD – The peak is nearing
We remain neutral on the USD albeit with a slight negative bias as the uptrend appears to be coming to an end. However, we believe conditions for a reversal are not yet in place.

Standard Chartered 2/5: The USD has remained relatively resilient on the back of the US’s strong cyclical story relative to the rest of the world. Additionally, tight USD liquidity and capital flows have remained USD-supportive and could persist.
Standard Chartered 3/5: The higher US yield structure means that any US flows to the rest of the world will likely be hedged while flows into the US will likely be unhedged – which could prop the USD up in the near term. Further upside risks include an intensifying #tradewar,

When compared to the US dollar, Chinese yuan is obviously at a weak position. #RMB mainly serves its domestic economy, while its internalization journey has just started. 2/5 cf40.org.cn/uploads/201909…
Though having joined the SDR basket, #Chineseyuan still accounts for only a small part in investment and settlements on a global scale. Hence it is unwise to let Chinese yuan move against the US dollar. 3/5
Last year when we discussed the situation of China-US trade war, we believed that it would take time for a "#tradewar" to turn into a "financial war", said CF40 member Chen Yuan. 1/5 cf40.org.cn/uploads/201909…
Exchange rate lies at the core of financial markets. It even occupies a more fundamental place in money markets as #exchangerate policy can impact a country’s money supply, inflation and economic growth. 2/5
For China, #exchangerate represents a price ratio that bears very close relations with countries involved, their enterprises and individuals. It is a key measurable index. 3/5
