America’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like China

This week on China Watch, from managed trade and market access to media and propaganda to oligarch-inflected national policy, America’s beginning to look a lot like China.  We look at that weird and revealing Jeff Bezos/Jack Ma doppelganger phenomenon.  Two rich guys.  Two e-commerce giants.  They both own newspapers.  They both do a lot of work for their governments.  And it looks like they’re both working hard to mess with each other.


Also, citizens of Hawaii learn that nuclear deterrence against North Korea and hosting US Pacific Command headquarters are not boring.


The war of words between the US and the PRC up over telephones, hotels, and Tibet.


And the pieces on the Central Asian chessboard are in motion, and it looks like the US is moving its pieces backwards..or sideways.  In a Newsbud exclusive, the CIA’s alleged magic weapon, Fetullah Gulen looks to be making a China move.
