I would have to see the memo myself. Curbing travel in the I US to cut expenses given economic uncertainty makes sense. But the article makes it sound like they don't want to spread the virus by traveling within the US. Which I just do

It's hit or miss. Sometimes the story just doesn't work and sometimes it unfolds in a very pleasing way. It's like a conversation. Most of the time it is boring, routine, uninteresting and sometimes it is really good... and t

China doesn't want a deal. They only want to continue to exploit the US. So the US is gradually decoupling from them.

by 99_00 7y ago
It's related insofar as no China US deal means China no longer gets special treatment and a free pass on bad behaviour.

So you think that China restricting export of rare earth metals to the US would be very painful if it happened?
