President Trump’s revised tariffs from the summer of 2018 to protect US technology and intellectual property would mostly miss Chinese companies & instead hit non-Chinese multinational corporations operating in China. By @melovely_max #PIIECharts (2/6)

THREAD: The WTO found that China's grain policies are a violation of WTO rules....so why is the US attacking the dispute system as unfair? (1/13)
Some background: @USTradeRep today said...
1) China's agricultural policies disregard WTO rules
2) the US will take all necessary steps to enforce the rules & ensure free & fair trade for U.S. farmers, ranchers, workers, & businesses. (2/13) ustr.gov/about-us/polic…
The WTO dispute settlement panel report agreed with the United States that China unfairly subsidized its agricultural producers in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, well in excess of its WTO commitments. That was the goal, right? (3/13)

1/ We want to respond to @SecretaryRoss interview about steel and aluminum tariffs with @ErinBurnett on @CNN and to some claims he made about us @PIIE.
2/ Here is the PIIE study @ErinBurnett referenced on @CNN showing that a past US tariff on Chinese tires saved 1,200 jobs, but cost 3,700 retail jobs. US consumers paid $900,000 per job saved. Data calculations available for replication. bit.ly/piie_USTireTar…
3/ WTO rules allow tariffs in select cases. US protections already exist for steel—it’s why only 3% of US steel imports are from China. The new tariffs will raise costs for US auto, other manufacturers, where 40x more Americans work than in steel mills. bit.ly/piie_SteelProt…

#Thread of responses from women in aerodynamics to the question, 'what would you like to see in order for women's career progression in your field to be sustained and better supported?'

Responses incl. career flexibility, mentoring and more women in leadership roles #WomeninSTEM
1. "I think young female engineers need to see more female role models and mentors in my field. Having a visible example of someone that looks like you and is succeeding in their field is important. Having an opportunity to meet with a mentor like that can be very powerful."
2. "I would like to see that any career promotion is based on own merits and value added to the company or the society independently of the gender. I want that women are measured with the same rules as men and are given equal opportunities."

#Thread If I were Obama.
If I was Obama on January 5, 2017 sitting in the WH meeting with my AG, FBI, DOJ, Perkins Coie Counsel, WH counsel, ODNI, CIA etc.. with a portfolio of data we manufactured, collated, paid for and collected and an EO I had just singed in Dec of 2016 (1)
An Executive Order that makes it the law of the land "Taking Additional Steps to Address the National Emergency With Respect to Significant Malicious Cyber-Enabled Activities" calling our #russia and all the entities we referenced in our "Portfolio" (2)

A portfolio we had in our hands that was lack luster, circular and completely manufactured... If I was Obama I would gear up and call upon all those "of our unique and comprehensive system of alliances and partnerships" to join me. To join me (3)

#China will attempt a forceful unification with #Taiwan by 2021, the centenary of the Chinese Communist Party. Xi's grand dream of national rejuvenation entails unifying all that #CCP considers Chinese lands, especially Taiwan.

This THREAD looks at this potential scenario.
The legitimacy of the #CCP regime under Xi is based on the twin pillars of economic growth and nationalism. For the party-state, unifying the mainland and Taiwan is critical to its aspirations of national rejuvenation and erasure of national humiliation.
Why would PRC force a unification as early as 2021? 1) 2021 is the centenary of the #CCP; anniversaries and dates have massive symbolic importance in China's political culture. 2) Xi wants unification to be part of his legacy. This is the only way that he can outshine #Mao.

Here are my favorite quotes from this amazing book. #THREAD
1. "Bitcoin can be best understood as distributed software that allows for transfer of value using a currency protected from unexpected inflation without relying on trusted third parties"
2. "While Bitcoin is a new invention of the digital age, the problems it purports to solve - namely, providing a form of money that is under the full command of its owner and likely to hold its value in the long run - are as old as human society itself"
