That was the question on a lot of minds after Trump issued executive orders Thursday night banning “transactions” with the Chinese owners of the TikTok and WeChat apps starting Sept. 20. While the move against TikTok’s owner — Beijing-based Bytedance — was not a huge surprise, action against WeChat’s owner — Shenzhen-based tech giant Tencent Holdings Inc. — was. That’s because Tencent is one of the world’s largest and most valuable companies, with ownership stakes in a number of U.S. videogame companies, including Riot Games, which makes “League of Legends”; Epic Games, which makes “Fortnite”; and Activision Blizzard ATVI, +2.98% , which makes “World of Warcraft.” Tencent also has significant stakes in Tesla Inc. TSLA, +0.30% and Snap Inc. SNAP, -1.61% , the maker of Snapchat, and the Chinese company has streaming deals in place with the NBA, the NFL and Major League Baseball. The order could potentially also affect Apple Inc. AAPL, +3.48% and Alphabet’s GOOGL, +1.74% GOOG, +1.79% Google app stores, which feature Tencent-owned apps. The executive order took aim directly at WeChat, which has more than 1 billion users worldwide, and whose “data collection threatens to allow the Chinese Communist Party access to Americans’ personal and proprietary information,” the order said. But the wording of the order made it unclear if the ban affected just WeChat or all of Tencent’s holdings, saying: “any transaction that is related to WeChat by any person, or with respect to any property, subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, with Tencent Holdings Ltd. ... Shenzhen, China, or any subsidiary of that entity.” Either way, the order is likely to be challenged in court. Tencent shares 700, -6.75% in Hong Kong sank in Friday trading after the announcement. The news broke after the extended trading session in the U.S. closed, but traders will likely keep a close eye on how shares of Tesla, Activision Blizzard and others fare in the morning. Banning all business by U.S. companies with WeChat’s parent — if that is the case — could prove to have much farther-reaching effects than Trump may have anticipated. “Likely he had no idea,” tech journalist Kara Swisher tweeted Thursday night.

This should be interesting..... and well worth a rec! The consequences of this victory are more dead black people, at the hands of other black people. With Black Gun Violence Surging, Black Leaders in NYC Call for Restoration of Anti-Crime Unit BLM Helped Disband \| Blog Posts Steve Sailer Earlier: NYPD's 2019 Crime Report Shows Non-Whites Committed 97% Of Homicides And 97.6% Of Non-Fatal Shootings... City Is 33% White Somehow, they’ll blame this on white people, the NRA, and white gun owners. A unit trying to keep black and brown from shooting each other in New York City was disbanded over “ racial justice” concerns is now needed more than ever. Because black and brown people have been unleashed to shoot each other without consequence. With impunity. In Wake Of Continued Gun Violence, Prominent Members Of Black Community Call On NYPD To Bring Back Anti-Crime Unit, New York CBS, July 13, 2020After another tragic weekend of gun violence, including the death of a 1-year-old, two members of the Black community called on the NYPD to bring back the recently disbanded Anti-Crime Unit to help get guns off the street. CBS2 political reporter Marcia Kramer has more on the story. It was a dramatic moment — Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams holding up a pair of baby shoes Monday after a 1-year-old became the latest victim of gun violence, caught in the crossfire at a family barbecue just hours before. “Babies are not supposed to be wearing these in a coffin,” Adams said. Adams, a former cop, became the second member of the African-American community to call on the NYPD to stop the violence by re-instituting the Anti-Crime Unit — undercover cops whose job was to get guns off the street. The unit was disbanded during the anti-cop protest that shook the city. “I think that a total elimination is something we need to reevaluate,” said Adams. “Right now, bad guys are saying if you don’t see a blue and white you can do whatever you want.” Community activist Tony Herbert agrees. “The guns keep going off and now we have a 1-year-old and the blood is on the hands of the mayor and the state Legislature,” said Herbert. Mayor Bill de Blasio decried the shootings. “This is not anything we can allow in our city. It is heartbreaking. It’s heartbreaking for so many reasons and begins with the fact that there are just so many guns out there and that is a New York tragedy,” de Blasio said. But the mayor did not propose any new solutions to ending the gun violence. This, as shootings for the week went up 277%, 49 compared to 13 in 2019. The number of victims is up 253%, 60 compared to 17 in 2019. John Jay College professor Joe Giaclone, a former cop, said the city has been eroding the ability of the cops to get guns off the street for years. The latest, the disbanding of the Anti-Crime Unit. “The gun police are no longer out there,” said Giaclone. “The criminals are opportunists. You know that.” All this comes as the latest NYPD statistics show a huge drop in gun arrests during the last week. Who/who are the primary suspects in the gun violence in New York City? Not whites. It should be noted in 2019 New York City, blacks represent 22.8 percent of population, Hispanics 28.6 percent, and Asians 12.6 percent. For homicide suspects, 97 percent were black, Hispanic, or Asian in New York City for 2019. These statistics come courtesy of the 2019 Crime and Enforcement Activity in New York City: Murder and Non-Negligent Manslaughter victims are most frequently Black (56.6%) or Hispanic (31.2%). Asian/Pacific Islander victims account for (6.9%) of all Murder and Non-Negligent Manslaughter victims while Whites account for (4.9%) of all Murder and Non-Negligent Manslaughter victims. The race/ethnicity of known Murder and Non-Negligent Manslaughter suspects mirrors the victim population with Black (62.4%) and Hispanic (30.8%) suspects accounting for the majority of suspects. Asian/Pacific Islander suspects account for (3.8%) of all Murder and Non-Negligent Manslaughter suspects while Whites accounted for (3.0%) of the known Murder and NonNegligent Manslaughter suspects. The Murder and Non-Negligent Manslaughter arrest population is similarly distributed. Black arrestees (58.0%) and Hispanic arrestees (35.2%) account for the majority of Murder and Non-Negligent Manslaughter arrestees while White arrestees (3.3%) and Asian/Pacific Islander (3.0%) arrestees account for the remaining portions of the Murder and Non-Negligent Manslaughter arrest population. Note there were more white victims of homicide than suspects, meaning interracial murder was primarily non-white on white. Also; 95.7 percent of robbery suspects in 2019 New York City were non-white.89.2 percent of rape suspects in 2019 New York City were non-white.97.6 percent of shooting suspects in 2019 New York City were non-white.95.7 percent of firearm arrests in 2019 New York City were non-white.Violent crime has a color/race in New York City, but this data is inadmissible in the court of public opinion, because it completely obliterates every conceivable egalitarian notion forced upon us by our hostile governing elite. The Black Lives Matter revolution is nothing more than a Blood Libel against White America, with each victory this Bolshevik movement gains a defeat for civilization, as well as law and order. The consequences of this victory are more dead black people, at the hands of other black people. [ Comment at Unz.com] ============= Great woke progressive liberal idea!

Looks like you will be staying put.

there seems to be no positive development in sight.

I would like to think that the good people in Seattle would vote for better people but looking at Detroit that is not what happens. Instead the good people move to the suburbs and the city continues to go down the tubes. That is what is happening Nationwide.

Seattle is 80% white and asian, only 7% black. You will continue to have a radical left leadership. You will be like Portland. Lots of arson and violence, little looting.

SEATTLE — Seattle’s police chief says she is stepping down, a move made public the same day the City Council approved reducing the department by as many as 100 officers through layoffs and attrition.

Carmen Best, the city’s first Black police chief, said in a letter to the department that her retirement will be effective Sept. 2 and the mayor has appointed Deputy Chief Adrian Diaz as the interim chief, KING-TV reported Monday. Councilmembers had approved the cuts Monday.
