tech companies in the USA are asking about 'china carve-outs' whereby China is treated as a separate and parallel universe inaccessible to USA tech companies, and such that the tech companies are looking for neutral partners to work w/ China partners to develop China carve-out markets very interesting, and opportunities must be amongst the corporates moving in a hurry, energised by the sudden realisation that the long-game is on in the mean time team china funding for USA startups disappears in a hurry, except those willing to fund willing china carve-outs internet speed Hong Kong, freedom island, is all of a sudden very helpful to all refugees, as per history of these isles, based on hard mathematics Now we can simply wait for the defining cratering, local okay, global best, and this time the wait is for specific triggering tweets, and being entertained whilst we wait, as opposed to the wait of past decade, for sanity's dawn and with only modicum of entertainment

Re <<the game has just entered the end of the beginning>> ... but, first, a TV show and should be entertaining am looking forward to the Jetson cheering on the Neo-con home team ;0) Ms Regan accepted her own show as 'neutral ground' per levelled playing field as defined by Neo-cons, deserving a LOL in one corner we have a little rich grumpy Neo-con beauty queen looking for a bar fight en.wikipedia.org and in the other corner we have an English-as-second-language and French-as-third language personality cctv.com scmp.com Fox vs CGTN: Chinese and US TV hosts to go head to head on trade in prime time CGTN’s Liu Xin and Fox Business’s Trish Regan will debate in person after trading accusations Chinese social media users confident that Liu can get the upper hand Zhuang Pinghui Published: 7:00pm, 25 May, 2019 Television anchors from China’s state broadcaster and the US president’s preferred network will face off on Wednesday in a highly anticipated debate over the trade war. Liu Xin, host of The Point, a current affairs programme on CGTN, the overseas arm of China Central Television, will appear on Trish Regan Primetime on the Fox Business Network. Regan challenged Liu to a debate after the Chinese host last week accused the American of being “emotional” in her assessment of the trade war and questioned one of the main figures Regan used to bolster her argument. “She is so sure of US victimhood, so indignant, that her eyes practically spit fire,” Liu said. “Yet, in carefully analysing her words, it’s all emotion and accusation supported with little substance.” Regan responded by saying that she had become the newest target in China’s information war against the US. “You picked the wrong fight here!” Regan said. The American then tweeted an invitation for a debate on “neutral” ground. “You accuse me of being ‘emotional’ and not knowing my facts – wrong!” Liu suggested on Twitter that she appear on Regan’s show on Monday for an “honest debate on trade” instead of a “mud throwing game”. She said it was important to have a “meaningful discussion to try to understand each other better”. Regan responded in a similarly civil tone and invited Liu to her show at 8pm Wednesday. The debate comes as Beijing has ramped up its nationalistic rhetoric at home, publishing a series of commentaries and editorials on state media blaming Washington for the latest escalation in the tit-for-tat tariff war. The official People’s Daily has run numerous opinion pieces rebutting various US claims and saying the trade war will not bring China to its knees. Chinese state television has also had a war theme, airing movies on the 1950-1953 Korean war in which Chinese troops came to the North’s aid while the United States supported the South. It was not clear if Wednesday’s debate would be broadcast live in China but reports about the event have appeared in Chinese state media, including People’s Daily, Global Times and CCTV, and the trending topic of “FOX host inviting Liu Xin to debate” had been read more than 100 million times by Saturday afternoon. While Twitter is banned in China and foreign networks are off limits to most residents, the event has become highly anticipated with Chinese internet users confident Liu will gain the upper hand. “What we lack is a fair opportunity to speak in public for more people to understand the real China and the real so-called trade war and what real roles both countries have played,” one user on Weibo, China’s Twitter-like platform, said. “Way to go! The China threat theory is half incited by Western media and half silently admitted by us. What do US residents know? Without China refuting, of course they will believe the China threat theory,” another said. Internet users said Liu, 44, a graduate of Nanjing University’s English department and a national English debate champion at university, had the skills to beat Regan in her native tongue. “She will beat her in the language she [Regan] is good at and show how she can be sincerely convincing,” a Weibo user said.

The e-commerce giant is working with financial advisers on the planned offering, the people said, asking not to be identified because the information is private. Alibaba is aiming to file a listing application in Hong Kong confidentially as early as the second half of 2019, the people said. A second listing is intended to diversify its funding channels and boost liquidity, one of the people said. The plans are preliminary and could change, the people added. Alibaba raised US$25 billion selling shares on the New York Stock Exchange in 2014 in the world’s largest first-time share sale, after struggling to persuade Hong Kong regulators to approve its proposed governance structure. The city’s exchange finally gave the green light for dual-share classes last year, granting food delivery giant Meituan Dianping and smartphone maker Xiaomi Corp the right to issue stock with different voting rights. The move also comes as Chinese companies face an increasingly hostile US government which has put several Chinese tech companies on a blacklist. This year, Chinese games-streaming giant Douyu postponed its IPO launch following market jitters over the trade war. Alibaba declined to comment. Its New York-traded shares have slid 22 per cent as of Friday in the past year. It has a market capitalisation of US$400 billion as of Friday’s close. Monday was a public holiday in the US. The Hong Kong Stock Exchange had no comment.
