I’m pleased to announce that the podcast is now on-line of the podcast of my latest interview on John Batchelor’s nationally syndicated radio show. The segment, which aired last night, can be found here, and focused on the Biden administration’s surprising (to me, anyway) decision to keep in place all of former President Trump’s towering and sweeping tariffs on Chinese goods.

In addition, my good friend (and incisive foreign policy analyst) Ted Galen Carpenter quoted my views on the U.S.-Japan security relationship in this recent blog post. Indeed, Ted’s piece shows that the likelihood of Tokyo helping the U.S. military meaingfully in a shooting war over Taiwan is even dimmer than I had previously written.

I’m pleased to announce that the podcast is now on-line of my latest interview on John Batchelor’s nationally syndicated radio show. Click here for a timely discussion among John, co-host Gordon G. Chang, and me on whether President Biden’s infrastructure and competitiveness package really will strengthen America’s position relative to China. Oh yes – we also speculated about the fate of former President Trump’s China tariffs in the Biden era.  

In addition, yesterday, Gordon quoted my views on the matter in a post for the Gatestone Institute. Here‘s the link.

Finally, on March 31, IndustryToday.com re-published my RealityChek post on recent U.S. manufacturing data strongly indicating that those Trump tariffs have greatly helped domestic industry weather the CCP Virus pandemic and subsequent recession in impressive shape.

I’m pleased to announce that the podcast is now on-line of my interview last night on John Batchelor’s nationally syndicated radio show on U.S. China trade policy. Click here for a timely discussion with John and co-host Gordon G. Chang on the outlook for America’s approach to the People’s Republic as the Biden administration settles into office.

One especially interesting point: Although John seemed to focus on how China fell well short of meeting its commitments under Donald Trump’s Phase One trade deal to boost its purchases of American-origin goods and services, I pointed to some data indicating that the agreement produced some important achievements on this front.

I’m pleased to announce that the podcasts are now on-line of my two national radio interviews yesterday on U.S. trade policy under a Biden administration.  The special focus:  whether the United States should be worried that 14 Asia-Pacific countries – including all of America’s main regional allies – have just signed a Chinese-organized agreement to set up a free trade zone called the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP).

My appearance on Moe Ansari’s “Market Wrap with Moe” can be found at this site, and clicking on the play button of the “Current Market Wrap” (“Cold War with China”) episode.  The interview begins just before the 23-minute mark.

Meanwhile, the “John Batchelor Show” segment episode covering these subjects is located here.

I’m pleased to announce that I’m scheduled to return tonight to John Batchelor’s nationally syndicated radio show. On the agenda for John, me, and co-host Gordon G. Chang is what happens to the China trade and tech wars if Joe Biden becomes President. Indeed, will they even be waged seriously by Washington?

As has been the case throughout the CCP Virus pandemic, John taped this segment, and it’s not clear when exactly air time will be. But you can listen live on-line to the program at this link starting at 11 PM EST, and I’ll of course post a link to the podcast as soon as one’s available.

In addition, it was great as always to be quoted on the same subject last Thursday on the Voice of America’s Chinese language network. For all you Mandarin speakers, here’s the link. Others (like me) will need to try an on-line translation program.

I’m pleased to announce that I’m scheduled to return to national radio tonight when I guest on The John Batchelor Show.  The subjects for John, co-host Gordon G. Chang, and me will be China, trade, manufacturing, and the election.

The pandemic is still forcing John and Gordon to pre-record segments, so I’m not yet sure about air-time.  But it seems that you can listen live to the show on-line at this all-purpose link starting at 9 PM EST.  And of course, if you can’t tune in, I’ll post a link to the podcast as soon as one’s available.

In addition, yesterday, I was interviewed on the popular Market Wrap with Moe Ansari radio show on the election (including the debate!), trade policy, the future of the entire U.S. economy, the fate of CCP Virus relief legislation, and a surprising recent example of collusion with Russia.  To listen to the podcast, click here and then on the show with my name on it.  My segment starts at about the 23:38 mark.

Finally, my friend Ted Galen Carpenter has just published in the Cato Journal a fascinating piece on the history of U.S. news coverage of U.S.-China relations – which certainly has seen its ups and downs in recent decades.  It was great, moreover, to see Ted cite two of my writings along the way.  Here’s the link.
