China raises five demands during Yellen’s visit

The Chinese government has made five demands on the United States, including the cancellation of its chip exports ban and sanctions, during US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen's four-day China trip ended Sunday.

China's Ministry of Finance said in a statement on Monday that it has expressed concerns to Yellen about the extra tariffs, company sanctions, investment restrictions, export controls and Xinjiang product bans imposed by the US on China in recent years.

Chinese commentators said the China side arranged meetings between key economic officials and Yellen, showing that Beijing attaches great importance to her visit.

Ahead of Yellen's visit to Beijing, Chinese commentators had said that the former Fed chairman was coming to China to sell US treasury bonds.

On Monday, Tian Liu, a Hubei-based columnist published an article with the title "If Yellen wants China to buy US debt, she must complete China's tasks. Three bows are not enough."

"Finding buyers for US debt is the top mission of Yellen. From a medium-and-long-term perspective, China is disposing of US debt," it says.

It said both China and the US can set areas and boundaries for competition and should avoid "De-coupling." Another pundit also surnamed Liu says in his vlog that Yellen's visit to China is important as it shows that China and the US are still having dialogues and will not have an immediate war.

Fauci Files Reveal Pfizer Helped Biden Rig 2020 Election

 Pfizer secretly colluded with Joe Biden's team to help him rig the 2020 election against Trump, according to new Fauci documents. In his new book, "On Call," Fauci admits that Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, called him the night after Biden was declared the winner of the election, to inform him of Pfizer's "Game-changing results" from the rigged mRNA trial. "On November 7, after the absentee ballots were counted, Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election. It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease." Today reports: In another interesting tidbit, Fauci discusses Trump's FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn declaring that he would not go along with the Trump Administration's plan to roll out the vac...

  Multiple U.S. states governed by Republicans are withdrawing state funds from BlackRock's management, as they disapprove of the ESG investment policies of the world's top asset manager, the Financial Times reports.

The Biden-Harris White House Has An Iranian Spy Leaking U.S. Intelligence In It

 The question is, how did classified intelligence from the United States, showing Israeli military movements that suggest broader action against Iran, get to Tehran? The answer raises uncomfortable questions for the Biden-Harris White House, which has opposed Israel every step of the way in responding to Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran. Defying Biden got Israel the entire leadership of Hezbollah and Hamas, with the ultimate threat still looming: Iran and its nuclear program. Operations against Iran are being assessed also because Iran has started firing ballistic missiles into Israel, targeting civilian centers across the country. If Israel is close to launching a broader offensive against Iran, leaking U.S. intelligence would be a way to both try and deter Israel and give more warning to Iran. In 2012, similar allegations were made against the Obama administration when U.S. intelligence leaks showed that Israel was working towards using "Azerbaijan as a base of operations in the event...
