Recent moves by the Trump administration aimed at foiling China's development of its high-tech industries are nothing but a containment strategy that is doomed to failure.

ALL THE subway stations in Beijing are to be equipped with devices on their entry gates that can scan a QR code on passengers' phones, which is expected to speed up passenger flows. Economic Daily commented:
The unofficial visit of Kim Jong-un, top leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, to China to meet with President Xi Jinping before his planned meeting with US President Donald Trump in May is, needless to say, of very special significance.
