The future base will house two Chinese-made submarines purchased by Dhaka from Beijing in 2016, retired Col. Faruk Khan said, adding that Bangladesh was not taking sides in a regional rivalry between India and China.

Thread of 3 Articles: Does #China have enough #US dollars to survive the US #tradewar? - China’s US$3.1 trillion in foreign exchange reserves may not be sufficient to support a crisis in the economy, analysts say scmp.com/economy/china-…
This is the first article in a three-part series looking at China’s US dollar shortage risks amid the trade war with the United States as it plans to reform and internationalise its economy.
Beijing’s increasing scrutiny of US dollar usage by Chinese companies & individuals, in the absence of any signs of a financial crisis, + accelerating efforts to lure in foreign capital, have raised suspicions that the China's economy is worried about running short of US dollars.

#China backtracked on nearly all aspects of #US trade deal - All of us that follow & know China knew that this was never going to fly. You can't negotiate with a rogue, predatory state like China. This is for the better. mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/id…
The diplomatic cable from Beijing arrived in Washington late on Friday night, with systematic edits to a nearly 150-page draft trade agreement that would blow up months of negotiations. The document was riddled with reversals by China that undermined core US demands, sources said
In each of the 7 chapters of the draft trade deal, China deleted its commitments to change laws to resolve core complaints that caused the US to launch a trade war: theft of US IP & trade secrets; forced tech transfers; competition policy; access to financial services, etc, etc.
