China’s record heat and heavy rain raise food security concerns
Hong Kong (CNN) — China is grappling with extreme weather as severe drought and record temperatures scorch the north while heavy rains inundate the south, raising concerns about food security in the world’s second-largest economy. Areas of the country that produce a lot of rice and wheat have been badly affected, disrupting spring and summer planting seasons. kAm%96 |:?:DECJ @7 p8C:4F=EFC6 D2:5 %9FCD52J E92E 5C@F89E 2?5 962E 92G6 925 2? 25G6CD6 :>A24E @?

How to Save Globalization
For many decades after World War II, a broad range of countries shared a fundamental economic vision. They endorsed an increasingly open system for trade in goods and services, supported by international institutions; allowed capital, corporations, and, to a lesser extent, people to flow freely across borders; and encouraged the rapid spread of data and technology. As trade expanded, global living standards improved dramatically, and hundreds of millions of people escaped from poverty.
Fred Hu: Is It Still a Good Idea to Invest in China After the Regulatory Storm?
Recently, China has rolled out a series of tough regulatory measures aimed at the technology sector, which have caused great volatility and unease in the financial markets. These regulatory actions have been interpreted as assaults on the tech industry and, more generally, private enterprise. They have led many people to allege that China is no longer investable due to the escalating political and regulatory risks.
An Unsentimental China Policy
Fifty years ago this July, U.S. President Richard Nixon announced what would become his signature foreign policy achievement: the opening to China. The following February, in what the press called “the week that shook the world,” he flew to Beijing to meet Mao Zedong, the leader of communist China. So began a half century of U.S. engagement with Beijing. At the time, China was the tip of the spear advancing communist revolutions worldwide.
Opinion | The U.S. is overly paranoid about China’s tech rise
Fred Hu is an economist and chairman of Primavera Capital Group, a China-based global investment firm. BEIJING — After decades of deriding China as a lousy copycat, the United States now fears China’s rapid rise as a technology powerhouse and sees it as a major — even existential — threat to U.S. dominance.

Keep regulation from leading to the internet's Balkanization
The recent revelation that more than 50 million Facebook profiles were harvested by app and given to political consultancy Cambridge Analytica has produced a backlash against the platform. But it is just the latest example of the risks associated with the internet, which forms the core of today’s digital revolution.
We risk having digital borders
Over the past 15 years or so, mobile Internet has reinforced this trend, by rapidly increasing not just the number of people who are connected to the Internet, and thus able to participate in the digital economy, but also the frequency and ease with which they can connect. As the Internet and digital technologies penetrate economies and societies more deeply, these risks and vulnerabilities become increasingly acute.

Preventing Balkanisation of Internet
The recent revelation that more than 50mn Facebook profiles were harvested by app and given to political consultancy Cambridge Analytica has produced a backlash against the platform. But it is just the latest example of the risks associated with the Internet, which forms the core of today’s digital revolution.
What’s Next for Hong Kong
As Hong Kong marks the 20th anniversary of its handover to China, a pessimistic mood hangs over the city. Some critics claim that the “one country, two systems” experiment has failed and as a Chinese territory Hong Kong has lost its competitiveness and economic vitality. Nothing could be further from the truth. While its enormous economic lead over its sister cities in mainland China has narrowed, Hong Kong’s global position has...
China's path to a $5 trillion growth opportunity
China is facing the difficult task of managing a soft economic landing, after decades of spectacular expansion. Naysayers abound, but never mind them. China has an advantage that other countries in today’s troubled global economy lack: a clear path forward.
Benefits of reform easily outweigh pain involved
China is facing the difficult task of managing a soft economic landing, after decades of spectacular expansion. Naysayers abound, but never mind them. China has an advantage that other countries in today's troubled global economy lack: a clear path forward.
China's $5 trillion opportunity
In a world of economic turmoil, China has an advantage that others lack: a clear path forward. By raising productivity, China can address its growth challenges, reduce the risks of financial crisis, and complete its transition to a consumption-driven, high-income economy, with a large and affluent middle class, write Fred Hu and Lola Woetzel in Project Syndicate. China is facing the difficult task of managing a soft economic landing, after decades of spectacular expansion.
China's $5 Trillion Opportunity
China May Be In More Trouble Than People Think Wolf Richter, BI
La crescita volatile della Cina
L'incertezza sulle prospettive economiche della Cina sta scuotendo i mercati globali - anche perché a così tante domande è così difficile dare delle risposte. In realtà, la traiettoria della Cina è diventata quasi impossibile da prevedere, a causa dei segnali confusi - se non conflittuali - inviati dai policymaker. Nell'economia reale, il settore commerciale guidato dall'esportazione si sta contraendo, a causa della debolezza della domanda estera.
China’s real problem is its policy, not its economy
Uncertainty about China’s economic prospects is roiling global markets — not least because so many questions are so difficult to answer. In fact, China’s trajectory has become almost impossible to anticipate, owing to the confusing — if not conflicting — signals being sent by policy makers. In the real economy, the export-driven tradable sector is contracting, owing to weak foreign demand.
Is the Bloom Off the Rose of China’s Economic Miracle?
China’s normally competent policymakers have had a rough time recently. First, against a backdrop of inexorably slowing economic growth, they encouraged ordinary Chinese to buy into a short-lived stock-market bubble. When the bubble burst, they organized a massive $400 billion program to support stock prices. Two months later, they abandoned this program, and since last Thursday the Shanghai index has fallen by 22 percent, the steepest four-day drop since 1996.
