Comments via Chinese state media, Xinhua

China
  • China will increase two-way fluctuations of the yuan
  • China is to improve market-based currency formation mechanism
  • China will deepen market-based interest rate reform
  • China to allow foreign controlled companies in more sectors
  • China to ease market access in the services sector
  • China will minimise direct interference from government on micro-economic activities
Some interesting remarks being communicated at an interesting time. If anything, I would argue that this repeated pledge to further open up its economy and financial markets is to reassure investors that the overall landscape has not changed.
In the big picture though, you have to wonder how the amount of nationalism and xenophobia brought about by the coronavirus crisis is going to translate into business/investment decisions of many companies from all countries across the world.

Xinhua News Agency the official state-run press agency of the People’s Republic of China urges Washington to start learning at least four lessons from their futile trade war with China

You can click the link here for the four lessons if you like, but in brief its not a conciliatory piece. Some snippets:
  • China is an unbent nail in face of U.S. tactic of maximum pressure
  • China’s determination to fight against the U.S. economic warmongering has only grown stronger
  • their trade war is hurting the American people and businesses
  • the United States should learn how to behave like a responsible global power and stop acting as a “school bully.”
Finishes with a dig at the guy with the little red hat:
  • Only then can America become great again.
