  "It is unclear if Huang spoke directly to Trump during the Friday event" - it doesn't matter. It's obvious to everybody what those dinners are for. Just wait when he starts doing 'tariffs exceptions' on a per company basis. It's coming as soon as next week.

    I think this is how Boris Yeltsin ran the Russian government in the 1990s... so many interesting similarities.

      Oh, I was actually wrong. It's not coming next week, it's coming this week: https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/stock-market-trump-tariffs-trade-war-04-09-25/card/trump-says-he-will-consider-exempting-some-u-s-companies-from-tariffs-BXfdUETG5o197ZivMbn0 https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/stock-market-trump-tariffs-... I would say it's even more brazen than Russia in the 90s. It's all done in the open, in the face of the institutions that were supposed to limit his power.

      I’m reading The Narrow Corridor and it also reminds me of parts about not only Russia but the nation of Georgia under Shevardnadze. One of the authors already commented two months ago in this paywalled article https://www.ft.com/content/4e3f1731-3d63-4b31-88ce-c3f5157d8170 https://www.ft.com/content/4e3f1731-3d63-4b31-88ce-c3f5157d8...

    Yeah? What are those dinners for? H20 is now export controlled.
