Good morning from Sinocism. Here are some of the top things I am following: The Party has announced a new patriotism campaign for intellectuals; News that the US is now considering additional tariffs on Chinese goods came just after Bloomberg and the Wall Street Journal reported that Liu He and Treasury Secretary Mnuchin were working to find ways back to the negotiating table;
Totally agree with you re Xi rumour. I think the problem with Chinese Opposition, if we can dignify it with that term, is that they mistake fantasy and gossip for real analysis and action. It is rather pathetic. In their heart of heart they expect America to do their job for them!
Just a quick comment on the PLA video...I found the theme of the PLA at the line between peace and war quite familiar. Most professional militaries play on those types of themes in their recruitment campaigns.
It is very well done and there has been a noticeable uptick in the quality of PLA videos over the past few years. I wonder who actually creates and produces them.
Patriotism campaign for intellectuals; Xi's position; Politburo meeting and the economy; Google's secret China plans, Potty politics; US-China

I have not gotten any updates since this email on August 2 even though my credit card has been charged for a second month.
Is there an issue? I would like to continue to get the blog, but I would also like credit for not receiving it for the past 12 days.
Thanks.
