Steve Bannon: ‘We’re going to war in the South China Sea … no doubt’

Wednesday 1 February 2017
The United States and China will fight a war within the next 10 years over islands in the South China Sea, and “there’s no doubt about that”. At the same time, the US will be in another “major” war in the Middle East.

Those are the views – nine months ago at least – of one of the most powerful men in Donald Trump’s administration, Steve Bannon, the former head of far-right news website Breitbart who is now chief strategist at the White House.

In the first weeks of Trump’s presidency, Bannon has emerged as a central figure. He was appointed to the “principals committee” of the National Security Council in a highly unusual move and was influential in the recent travel ban on citizens from seven Muslim-majority countries, overruling Department of Homeland Security officials who felt the order did not apply to green card holders.

While many in Trump’s team are outspoken critics of China, in radio shows Bannon hosted for Breitbart he makes plain the two largest threats to America: China and Islam.

“We’re going to war in the South China Sea in five to 10 years,” he said in March 2016. “There’s no doubt about that. They’re taking their sandbars and making basically stationary aircraft carriers and putting missiles on those. They come here to the United States in front of our face – and you understand how important face is – and say it’s an ancient territorial sea.”

China says nearly the entire South China Sea falls within its territory, with half a dozen other countries maintaining partially overlapping claims. China has built a series of artificial islands on reefs and rocks in attempt to bolster its position, complete with military-length airstrips and anti-aircraft weapons.

Defying separation of church, state, Trump vows to repeal law against pulpit politics

Declaring that religious freedom is “under threat,” President Donald Trump vowed Thursday to repeal a rarely enforced IRS rule that says pastors who endorse candidates from the pulpit risk losing their tax-exempt status.

“I will get rid of and totally destroy the Johnson Amendment and allow our representatives of faith to speak freely and without fear of retribution,” Trump said during remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast, a high-profile event bringing together faith leaders, politicians and dignitaries.

Trump also defended his recent executive order on immigration, decrying “generous” immigration policies and arguing that there are people who seek to enter the country “for the purpose of spreading violence or oppressing other people based upon their faith.” He also pledged to take more immigration action in the name of religious liberty.

“In the coming days we will develop a system to help ensure that those admitted into our country fully embrace our values of religious and personal liberty and that they reject any form of oppression and discrimination,” Trump said.

    Embattled Suu Kyi crafts a ‘fightback’ strategy

    Myanmar’s de facto leader aims to counter criticism over Rohingya, reform delays

    GWEN ROBINSON, Nikkei Asian Review chief editor

    But Suu Kyi, who waited 27 years to lead her country, knows better than most that there are many ways to play — and to win — a long and daunting game.

    Donald Trump’s policies, not Mexicans, are the real immigration problem in America
    NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
    Monday, February 13, 2017, 8:21 AM
    Some people believe that they are taking “good jobs” away from “real Americans,” so if you believe that, here’s a solution: If the only jobs that American-born people can get is cleaning dishes in the basement of a restaurant or changing the diapers on the Secretary of Labor’s kid for minimum wage, we should probably help those American-born people, right?

    So let’s make higher education free for all American citizens. That way, some undocumented Mexican won’t be stealing a low-paying manual labor job from anyone — except another undocumented Mexican.

    Norway Pledges $10 Million to Counter Trump’s Global Anti-abortion Move

    Feb. 20, 2017, at 10:15 a.m.

    OSLO (Reuters) – Norway has joined an international initiative to raise millions of dollars to replace shortfalls left by U.S. President Donald Trump’s ban on U.S.-funded groups worldwide providing information on abortion.

    In January, the Netherlands started a global fund to help women access abortion services, saying Trump’s “global gag rule” meant a funding gap of $600 million over the next four years, and has pledged $10 million to the initiative to replace that.

    Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, Luxembourg, Finland, Canada and Cape Verde have all also lent their support.

    “The government is increasing its support for family planning and safe abortion by 85 million Norwegian crowns ($10 million) compared with 2016,” Prime Minister Erna Solberg said.

    “At a time when this agenda has come under pressure, a joint effort is particularly important,” he said in a statement.

    Last month, Trump reinstated a policy requiring overseas organizations that receive U.S. family-planning funds to certify they do not perform abortions or provide abortion advice as a method of family planning.

    Bill Gates’s Plan to Deal With Job-Stealing Robots: Just Tax Them
    The Microsoft founder wades into the fierce debate about how to handle the social impact of increased automation.

    By Jessica Stillman
    Contributor, Inc.com

    According to one recent report, tech advances mean that as many as half of jobs could be lost to artificial intelligence in the next 25 years. If it turns out to be right, that means most check-out clerks and truck drivers, warehouse workers and even lawyers will soon go the way of travel agents. Robots really are coming to take (many of) our jobs.

    What will we do about all the people who lose their livelihoods? It’s a hotly contested subject, with several startup luminaries, including Elon Musk, insisting governments are going to have to start providing a universal basic income to every citizen. (Finland is already experimenting with the idea.)

    But Bill Gates has a slightly different suggestion. In a recent interview with Quartz editor-in-chief Kevin Delaney, the billionaire Microsoft founder argues that the right approach to our job-scarce future may simply be to tax the robots (OK, really the owners of the robots) that replace human labor.

    Astronomers discover 7 Earth-sized planets orbiting nearby star

    Updated 4:50 PM ET, Wed February 22, 2017

    (CNN)Astronomers have found at least seven Earth-sized planets orbiting the same star 40 light-years away, according to a study published Wednesday in the journal Nature. The findings were also announced at a news conference at NASA Headquarters in Washington.

    This discovery outside of our solar system is rare because the planets have the winning combination of being similar in size to Earth and being all temperate, meaning they could have water on their surfaces and potentially support life.
    “This is the first time that so many planets of this kind are found around the same star,” said Michaël Gillon, lead study author and astronomer at the University of Liège in Belgium.

    CNN, New York Times, other media barred from White House briefing
    By Paul Farhi February 24 at 8:29 PM
    The White House blocked a number of news organizations from attending an informal briefing Friday, a rare and surprising move that came amid President Trump’s escalating war against the media.

    White House press secretary Sean Spicer banned reporters from CNN, the New York Times, Politico, the Los Angeles Times and BuzzFeed from attending a “gaggle,” a non-televised briefing, but gave access to a number of other reporters, including those representing conservative outlets.

    China Imposes New Restrictions on Money Going Offshore…And Have the Chinese Given Up NYC Real Estate?
    Posted on February 19, 2017 by YiminGeNY

    On January 2nd, 2017, a set of new policy measures aimed at further tightening China’s currency control is announced. It sends shockwaves around the country. Two weeks after the announcement, I hit the road to get a first-hand understanding of what this means to the Chinese investors. On a sunny winter afternoon In Xin Tian Di, a hip hangout place in Shanghai, a group of clients and I sit down over tea and cakes to discuss wide-ranging topics.

    Despite popular speculations towards the end of 2016 that the government would lower the long-standing quota of 50,000 USD each Chinese citizen can exchange from RMB per year, the new policies leave the quota untouched. Instead, Chinese citizens are now required to clarify the purpose of the money they wire abroad. The guidelines specifically state that individual citizens may not wire money overseas to invest in real estate or other investment products. This, without a doubt, will dampen the spirited pursuit of overseas real estate, but my own experience so far and many others’ indicate that the new policies will not stop the game either. Most online platforms focused on foreign real estate in China have not seen a meaningful decline in their traffic since the announcement. Neither has the number of inquiries I receive declined. Looking across the room, I notice that almost everyone there either has a child or plans to send a child to the US to study. In addition, half of the room either work for a foreign company or have a residence outside of China already. These existing overseas connections are what is driving their real estate investment in the US. In their eyes, they need to buy an apartment for their children and they use their connections to move their money out.

    My clients joke about living in a house together in their old ages, with their only child all so far away. Concerns over the environment, education and politics push these upper middle class parents to make the hard decision of sending a child away. The US, despite all of our problems, still ranks as the number one destination with its stable political and economic systems.
