Xi’s China should also share blame for Trump’s trade war
 XUAN LOC DOAN
US President Donald Trump’s intensifying trade conflict with China is reckless and unfortunate, as it could hugely harm not only the world’s two biggest economies but also others. Yet China – or perhaps, more precisely, its “core” leader Xi Jinping – is also culpable for the current stalemate. In an opinion piece in USA Today on July 19, Chinese Ambassador to the United States Cui Tiankai said the US president’s trade war against China “is...

THE NEW YORK SUN:  KUDLOW IS WINNING AGAINST CHINA
The Trade War To End All Trade Wars Will End In Economic Carnage
by John H. Cochrane via The Hill
One hundred and four years ago this August, the war to end all wars broke out. It was a war that nobody wanted. The world stumbled in to it almost by accident and then could not get out.
Doomed US trade policy 
Desmond Lachman | Official Monetary and Financial Institutions Forum 
President Trump’s trade policy suffers from the most basic of contradictions that doom it to failure. Trump wants to impose increased import restrictions on trade partners to help eliminate the US trade deficit. Yet, this administration is following policies that will increase the US budget deficit and will have the unintended consequence of strengthening the dollar. That combination is certain to cause the US trade deficit to widen rather than narrow.

Trump ‘so dissatisfied’ with China trade talks, keeping pressure on: Kudlow

Top economic adviser’s comments confirm pessimistic view of negotiations 

Open Letter to Larry Kudlow: You need a different China strategy
BY DAVID P. GOLDMAN
It might take a minor hit to growth, but China will survive a trade war with the US, and Europe will have a larger piece of a market that still has much room to expand

Jeff Moon writes: An overlooked irony of the American trade dispute with China is that Donald Trump is the first U.S. president to fight back using Chinese tactics. This time, it’s the Chinese officials who are frustrated over the lack of clarity in demands, the sudden changes in negotiating positions, and the unpredictable escalation of tensions. - Wall Street Journal

Trump Intensifies Trade Pressure on China
Mickey Levy, E21

Trump’s proposed new tariffs on $200 billion of imported goods from China escalate the U.S.-China trade conflict and intensify the debate about the economic and political implications of trade negotiations.  Clearly, the tariffs will be costly to some U.S. industries, but they also put China in a bind.  Also, markets are speculating that China may devalue its currency as a retaliatory measure.  These issues are more complex on many dimensions than they seem on the surface. Read more here....

China’s currency depreciation should set off alarm bells
Desmond Lachman | The Hill 
The recent Chinese currency depreciation should be cause for concern for the global economy. Not only does that movement likely presage further currency depreciation in China, the world’s second-largest economy, but it also increases the likelihood that China and the United States might be drifting inexorably toward both a currency and a trade war.

Does The Flat Yield Curve Point To A Looming Recession?
quoting Raghuram Rajan via Bloomberg Quint
Is the flattening yield curve in the U.S. bond market sending signals of a looming recession? That’s still not clear, Former RBI Governor Raghuram Rajan wrote in the Financial Times. The difference or the spread between the yield on two-year Treasury bills and 10-year benchmark bond is narrowing. It “has compressed to less than 40 basis points, he wrote.
