A big sign that Trump’s bullying tactics don’t work. China’s trade surplus topped $1 trillion for the first time ever, driven by a strong rebound in exports despite weak domestic demand.
US shipments plunged 29% under Trump’s tariffs while exports to Southeast Asia and Europe surged. (FT)

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

I mean, I can remember when we had commercial FTA lording it over us, when we never got shows day and date that they got released, we never got Brazilian, or Italian or Korean shows or movies.... Its just not true
It has also been terrible for consumers, which we used to call audiences
Opinion: Netflix did not invent the world of streaming, but it is the most successful operator in this new dispensation. However, it remains to be seen whether its success in knowing what its customers want to watch can be matched by an enduring ecosystem for creative talent. on.ft.com/48FvQul
