I’m pleased to announce that the podcast of my Thursday night interview on John Batchelor’s nationally syndicated radio show is now on-line.  Click here for a timely update on the fast-moving U.S.-China trade talks provided by John, me, and co-host Gordon G. Chang.

And to follow up, yesterday, the Daily Beast website posted Gordon’s column on the somewhat surprising result of these talks’ latest round – which ended with no announcement that a deal has been concluded or is close enough to warrant scheduling a U.S.-China signing summit.  Here’s the link.

Also, it was great to see IndustryToday.com last week reprint my recent post on the encouraging latest set of monthly U.S. trade figures released by the Census Bureau.  Click here to see it.

I’m pleased to announce that I’m scheduled to appear twice tonight on the broadcast media on trade-related issues.

At 8:10 PM EST, I’m slated to be interviewed on Israel’s i24News on President Trump’s recent threat to close the U.S.-Mexico border (or at least parts of it) in response to the immigration-related emergency situation he sees there.  This TV network is available on-line only via subscription, but it does offer free trials that would enable you to watch tonight’s segment if you register on time.  Click here to sign up.

At 10 PM EST, I’ll be returning to John Batchelor’s nationally syndicated radio show to help provide an update on the (reportedly) fast-moving U.S.-China trade talks.  Click here to listen on-line to the segment, which will also feature co-host Gordon G. Chang. As usual, I’ll post a link to the podcast as soon as one’s available.

Making News: Quoted in the Washington Post Magazine — & More!

I’m pleased to report a nice little spate of media appearances over the last few days.

Most were generated by journalist John B. Judis’ piece in the Washington Post Magazine on how Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown’s decision to skip the 2020 presidential race might have cost the Democrats their best chance to win back the White House.

The backstory of this March 19 article is kind of interesting – John intended it as an article on how Brown’s candidacy actually represented the Democrats’ best chance of 2020 success.  But just before it was scheduled to run, Brown decided to sit the presidential campaign out.  So kudos to John and his editors for turning the article into a retrospective that retains nearly all of its newsworthiness.

Somewhat confusingly, however, if you subscribe to the Post in print, you won’t see the article in your hard copy of the magazine this week.  So you need to access it via the link above.

In turn, John’s article and the point about Brown I made were covered in Crain’s Cleveland Business on March 20 and in Jewish World Review the following day.

Finally, on March 7, the TechStockStandard.com website re-posted my recent Washington Times article on accurately interpreting the latest annual trade figures – and President Trump’s performance on his front.

I’m pleased to announce that that “Breitbart News Tonight” radio interview of mine last Friday on the recent Washington Post tome defending globalism was featured today on the Breitbart “print” website.  You might be especially interested in this detailed summary by Breitbart reporter John Binder in part because his piece seems to have generated lots of buzz in social media – and lots of traffic for this blog.

All the more reason to keep checking in with RealityChek for news of upcoming media appearances and other developments.

I’m pleased to announce that a podcast of a national radio interview from last night is now on-line.  Conducted by the folks at Breitbart News Tonight, it addresses the wide range of issues raised by a (revealingly) humongous article by Robert Kagan defending globalist approaches to domestic and foreign policy (and singling out nationalism as a particular evil) that appeared yesterday in the Washington Post.  Go to this link and click on the March 15 entry with my name for a fascinating conversation that literally has it all – politics, world affairs, economics, history,  philosophy, and more!

Also, it was interesting, to put it mildly to be described as “anti-China” in this article from the Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post by an author who “researches and writes about global, regional and Hong Kong challenges from a Hong Kong point of view.” Hong Kong, you’ll recall, is now controlled by China, and although Beijing has permitted the locals to maintain a modicum of free expression and self government, the range of permitted liberties keeps narrowing all the time.

For the record, I’m perfectly fine with the Chinese people in general, and with much of Chinese culture.  But the country’s government and leaders?  Not nearly so much

Making News: A New Op-Ed on Trump China Policy…& Back on National Radio Tonight?

I haven’t been posting as much lately as usual, in part because I’ve had to fulfill some outside writing commitments.  So I’m especially pleased to report that one of these assignments was just posted by The National Interest.  The article explains why, despite his chaotic approach, President Trump remains likely to win the trade conflict with China, and can be read at this link.

In addition, it’s possible that I’ll be returning tonight to John Batchelor’s nationally syndicated radio show tonight to help provide an up-to-the-minute update on the u.S.-China trade talks.  John’s travel schedule is apparently creating some uncertainty for his producers, and I’ll let you know as soon as I can if I’ve gotten the green light.  And if my notice is too short, I’ll of course post a link to the podcast forthwith.

Right now, I’m heading back to a deep dive I’m doing on the impact of the President’s China tariffs on imports of goods from China.  I hope I’ll be able to wrap it up in time to post tomorrow.  For the time being, though, keep checking in with RealityChek for news of upcoming media appearances and other developments.

I’m pleased to announce the publication of a new freelance article of mine.  This morning, The Washington Times posted my op-ed explaining why the huge increase in the monthly and annual U.S. trade deficits reported on Wednesday masked some surprising trends.  Specifically, the data made clear that President Trump’s trade policies continue progressing toward their two of their biggest goals.  Click here to read.

This morning I got a short notice invitation to appear on CNBC to dissect the new U.S. trade figures and explain the message they’re sending us about President Trump’s tariff-heavy trade policies.  There were so many numbers to crunch beforehand that I didn’t have a chance to send out a heads-up.  But since the network does a great job of archiving segments (and making them available for free), you can see the conversation (also featuring James Pethokoukis of the American Enterprise Institute) at this link.
