Another striking chart from Bloomberg on the economic impact of “full-blown” Trump scenario, meaning: — big US tax cuts — higher US spending — 60% tariffs on China + 10% on others — China devalues by 10% — Immigration comes down by 50%. TLDR — not pretty.

Striking chart from Bloomberg. "Trump 1.0 really did have a massive impact on the share of exports that the US derived from China."

China Talk is my favourite China pod, so v happy to be on it as co-host with @jordanschnyc this week, interviewing the ever excellent @MohanCRaja. A few interesting quotes below on the border, Taiwan and the future of Indian democracy: www.chinatalk.media/…

Latest Indian election predictions: Modi to increase BJP seats from 303 to 323. Thinking through recent democratic leaders who have won 3 consecutive terms, from Kohl & Merkel to Blair * Trudeau. Can't think of any who has won more seats with each election. Anyone?

Good for Scott Morrison. I'm often not clear how people do these uber-stressful political jobs without medication. Talking openly about these things must be helpful in showing how many people struggle with anxiety, & how they learn to to cope with it. www.bbc.com/news/wor…
