The Taliban may have achieved a diplomatic win in an agreement to extend the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor to Afghanistan[...]

“The three sides reaffirmed their resolve to fully harness Afghanistan’s potential as a hub for regional connectivity," said a joint statement released in May following a meeting of officials representing the three countries in Islamabad. The countries restated their commitment "to further the trilateral cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative, and to jointly extend the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor to Afghanistan.”[...]

The $62 billion CPEC connectivity project is a flagship of the Belt and Road Initiative[...]

[A Brookings Senior Fellow] said China continues its narrative “that the West is to blame for the humanitarian crisis [in Afghanistan, and] that the West should not be holding [the] money of the central bank of Afghanistan.”[...]

“[B]y seizing Afghanistan’s overseas assets and imposing unilateral sanctions, the U.S., which created the Afghan issue in the first place, is the biggest external factor that hinders substantive improvement in the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan,” China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated in April.[...]

The ministry’s position paper on Afghanistan stated that China would “do its best” to support Afghanistan’s reconstruction and development. In recent months, Chinese companies have shown interest in investing in Afghanistan[...]

Last week, in a meeting with Taliban officials in Kabul, officials of Fan China Afghan Mining Processing and Trading Co. announced an investment of $350 million in various sectors ranging from construction to health to energy in Afghanistan, according to the Bakhtar News Agency, Afghanistan’s state news agency.

In January, the Taliban signed a contract with CAPEIC to extract oil in the north of the country by investing $150 million annually.

China has also shown interest in the development and operation of mines in Afghanistan. A Chinese company, Metallurgical Corporation of China (MCC), signed a contract with the then-Afghan government in 2008 to extract copper from Mes Aynak in Logar province. But that work has not started yet. Last month, the Taliban’s mining and petroleum minister, Shahabuddin Delawar, urged MCC to begin “practical” work on the development and operation of the mine.

Biden's State Of The Union: a bridge to bipartisanship?

Joe Biden's 2nd State Of The Union Address seemed to be about checking boxes. 1st, Biden attempted to check the 'Fit for Duty' box. He appeared to be his snarky self, channeling the old persona of Blue Collar 'Joe from Scranton'. He took a few jabs @ Republicans, starting w/ his introduction of House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. He also instigated a kerfuffle w/ Marjorie Taylor Greene & others over Social Security & Medicare. Throughout his address, Biden tried to emote the swagger of that Senator from Delaware, who had the ear of Reagan, Bush, & Gingrich.

In his Address, Biden said that America is about 'possibilities'. He touted the accomplishments of his Administration over last 2Yrs, & made his pitch for Congress to finish what he started. Joe Biden ran on a platform of bipartisanship; to back this up, he touted 300 Bipartisan Bills passed since he took Office. He expressed his plan to 'Restore The Soul of America', starting w/ The Middle Class. He spoke of building an economy from the bottom up, & the middle out. Like Donald Trump, he supports a Made In America Campaign where Our supply chain begins @ Home.

The Star of the 'Made In America' Campaign, is 'The Chips & Sciences Act'. Biden touts how it will create hundreds of thousands of 6 figure income jobs, that WILL NOT require a College Degree. The expectation is that these Chip Production Sites will bolster & hopefully restore the Communities around them. Presently, the National Unemployment Rate is @ 3.4%- a 50Yr low; this (supposedly) includes lows for Black & Latino Communities. On top of recent job growth #s, Biden also touted 10 million New Business Applications.

He pointed out how 30 million Employees have to sign Non Compete Agreements, & how Workers deserve 'Dignity @ Work' that gives them a Right to a Living Wage, Affordable Housing, & Affordable Child Care. Biden took a couple of jabs @ Republicans, while speaking on the Debt Ceiling. Speaker McCarthy already appeared on News Shows to say that he supports taking Social Security & Medicare off the Table; why did Joe Biden linger on the subject? McCarthy can do his own wrangling.

The Biden Administration were the 1st to say their Fiscal Budget is non-negotiable; how can they fault Republicans for crying foul? Ultimately, Biden agreed to compare Plans. His Plan for Restructuring the Tax Code entails no Tax Increase for families making below $400K, a Billionaire's Minimum Tax of 15%, & quadrupling Corporate Buy Back Stock Fees. Biden touted how his Administration reduced the Deficit by $1.7T, & how Programs like the 'Junk Fee Prevention Act' will spur economic growth.

The subject of Infrastructure gave Joe Biden another opportunity to take a jab @ Republicans. He remarked how Red States will get Projects earmarked, just like Blue States. Members Of Congress may not have voted for his Infrastructure Plan, but 'i'll see ya at the Groundbreaking'. Under this plan, Biden highlighted:

Bridges, Tunnels & Roads

Lead Pipe Removal

Affordable High Speed Internet for All Americans

ALL Construction Materials used for infrastructure must be Made In America

Biden's 'Inflation Reduction Act', is basically a Plan to use restructuring the Tax Code as an excuse to reform Prescription Drugs & Climate Change initiatives. No one (in their right mind) disagrees w/ $35 Insulin, Fentanyl Prevention, or Clean Water efforts; that said, politicians have been slow to act on these measures. The manufacturing angle of this Act sounds promising, as it rewards Companies for buying American made components for their operation. Education, Immigration/ Border Security, & COVID Protocols rounded out the balance of Biden's State Of The Union Address.

Biden stressed the need for quality Public Education for grades Pre-K through 12. He also expressed a need for access to Local/ Community Colleges, & College Debt Reduction. He split COVID fallout into 2 categories: Economic Fallout & Public Safety Concerns. Under Economic Fallout, Biden reiterates his Made In America Agenda to bolster job growth. He again touts Job Growth #s as an indicator that America is getting back to business; pointing out how We are outperforming the rest of The World.

Under Public Safety Concerns, Biden spotlights the family of Tyre Nichols. He goes on to speak about the need for better Police Training/ Reform, more Community Programs, & Gun Reform. He talks about 'Brown & Black' families having 'The Talk', but I don't know of ANY 'Brown families' having that 'Talk'. Joe Biden's ease @ changing 'Black American Struggle' into 'Black & Brown Issues' is becoming an Art. His short memory is already legendary. He speaks about implementing Community Programs, but he was an architect of Benign Neglect Policy that eliminated these Community Programs over 40Yrs ago.

I found it ironic how Joe Biden could invite Tyre Nichols' family to The State Of The Union Address, but didn't mention the George Floyd Justice In Policing Act. He spoke about funding for better Police training, but the combined budgets of the Nation's Largest Police Departments likely rivals the Defense Budgets of NATO Countries. There's already enough $$$ being spent on training. Why is training not a factor when Police are somehow able to apprehend armed White assailants w/ little incident? It was interesting to watch both Sides of the Aisle show sympathy for Tyre Nichols' Mother in one moment, & applaud an increase of Police Budgets in the next. I made note of the CBC Members that applauded.

Gun Reform, like Abortion, is an ongoing issue. The REAL problem, is how to restrict Blackfolk, while respecting everyone else's 2nd Amendment Right. Gun Control wasn't an Issue, until The Black Panther Party protested in Sacramento nearly 60Yrs ago. White Americans have an Inalienable Right to bear Arms, & always will. Gun Control is not a real thing; Society needs the same personality types that are misbehaving w/ firearms to protect them from 'The Big Black Boogeyman'... It's a strange dance.

On the subject of the Southern Border & Immigration Reform, Biden spoke about resources for Border Control, & a pathway to Citizenship for Migrant Workers & Children of Illegal Immigrants. Border States have been literally begging for help; the Texas Governor has been busing Illegal Immigrants to Northern Cities for months. A bus went to Kamala Harris' residence, so The White House had to know things were critical on The Border. It is estimated that over 2 million Illegal Immigrants have entered America on Biden's Watch; not counting tens of thousands of Ukrainians & Afghans entering from Tijuana. How was Barack Obama able to keep Border Crossings low, while Joe Biden seems overwhelmed?

Biden's International focus was on Ukraine & China. According to him, Ukraine is fighting against 'Putin's Tyranny', & We as Americans, should do everything possible to support their fight for freedom. I would personally like an accounting of what 'We' gave, & where it went. Redacted has reported on Al Qaeda & ISIS Soldiers being paid $2,500/ Week to fight w/ Ukraine- is this true? What are Our Tax dollars paying for? Redacted, The Grey Zone, & Jimmy Dore have all talked about high level theft of funds & Black Market activity in Ukraine.

On the issue of China, Biden said that We seek Competition, not Conflict. The U.S. helped China rise- from a 3rd World Nation, to a legitimate World Economic Power in under 50Yrs. America's ongoing meddling in Hong Kong, along w/ rising tension in Taiwan has apparently struck a nerve in Beijing. The recent drama of balloons violating U.S. Airspace are merely another round in a Marathon Dance Competition. America's dependence on China for basic Staples, is the Real Issue.

According 2 Biden, we're in Our strongest position to compete w/ China, & Anyone else. We will work w/ China, but WILL defend Our Sovereignty. He went on to say how No other World Leader wants to trade places w/ President Xi, going against America. Biden ultimately says that The State Of The Union is Excellent. He emphasizes a Nation built on ideals, not geography, collectively working together- sounds promising. Gov. Sarah Huckabee- Sanders delivered The GOP Response, & didn't waste time picking Biden apart.

According to Gov. Huckabee- Sanders, Joe Biden inherited:

The fastest economic recovery On Record.

The most secure Border in History

Cheap, abundant 'home grown' Energy

Fast rising Wages

A rebuilt Military

A World that was stable & @ peace.

Over the last 2Yrs, Joe Biden & The Democrats have spent Trillions in reckless spending, while creating the worst Border Crisis in History. 100,000 Americans are dying from drug overdoses annually- mainly fentanyl. Domestically, criminals roam free, while Internationally, We have been unable to stand up to China... Joe Biden has been unwilling to protect Our Border, Sky, & Our People- he is not fit to serve as Commander In Chief. She deadpans that Biden is caught up in 'Wokeism'.

Huckabee- Sanders goes on to repeat several GOP talking points that date back to Newt Gingrich's 'Contract w/ America'. She says that giving every child access to quality education is the civil rights issue of today. To that end, she proposes an 'Educate, not Indoctrinate' Agenda, that eliminates Critical Race Theory (CRT), & use of the label 'Latinx'. She closes by saying that America is Free, but this Freedom is under attack & America is in danger. The Biden Administration has failed Us, but the GOP has America's future in mind. They are still the place where Freedom reigns & Liberty never dies.

Clearly, Gov. Huckabee- Sanders is towing the Party Line. As Biden tried to build himself up as a virile, stable, & capable Leader, Huckabee Sanders tried to paint a picture of someone old, feeble, & out of touch. The GOP sees Biden as Dems saw Ronald Reagan. The Country was literally more 'Black & White' back then, so Reagan was able to get away w/ more than Biden can. As for 'The Future', how can Republicans truly believe this, when their base is quickly becoming a Minority?

All of this plays into an ongoing narrative, where Democrats & Republicans take turns assuming Leadership. In theory, One leans Left, & the Other leans Right. In practice, Both Sides find consensus on issues that promote the continuance of White Supremacist Policy, by way of Institutionalized Systemic Racism. Minority Groups understand & accept AmeriKKKa's 'pecking order', in return for resources & privilege. The GOP tend to use 'Non- Racial' language to filter out Black America, while Democrats use 'Liberal- Progressive' language to do the same. Both depend on Black America's sense of 'fair play', & equality for Everyone.

As ADOS, We rationalize why a Group should get resources ahead of Us, while Everyone Else behaves like they have some inherent Right to be ahead of Us. We know that some Immigrants & Minority Groups have prejudices against Black Americans; Joe Biden's lack of concern for 'Black specific Policy' in effect, tells them that they're justified in their thinking. If he doesn't care, why should they? To them, America is a 'Grab Bag'. When you consider the fact that Joe Biden showed more concern for Migrant Workers, than taxpaying Black Farmers who have been victimized & oppressed for generations, it's pretty easy to see how his State Of The Union Address condones an Anti Black Agenda- I call it: Benign Neglect 2.0

Time to cut the cord Long Post (LATimes) Don’t like Tucker Carlson’s racist spiel? If you’re a cable subscriber, you’re paying for it anyway.

(Jason Koerner / Getty Images)

Let’s say you hate Fox News. 

Maybe you believe that the cable channel’s retailing of baseless claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen by Joe Biden has damaged democracy. 

Maybe you’re repulsed by the open racism voiced by Fox star anchor Tucker Carlson, not to mention his noxious spouting of antimasking and antivaccination claptrap that undermines public health. 

Or maybe you believe that Fox’s willingness to feed its audience lies that its executives knew were lies — as suggested by the emails unearthed by Dominion Voting Systems in its $1.6-billion defamation lawsuit against Fox — makes it not a “news” channel at all but a funnel for right-wing ideological mythmaking.

— Then-CBS chair and CEO Les Moonves chortles over Donald Trump’s role in the 2016 election

You wouldn’t be caught dead patronizing any of Carlson’s advertisers, such as the MyPillow crackpot or the nutritional supplement mountebanks that fill the ad space between Fox News house ads. 

That’s your way of boycotting Fox News, perhaps in the hope that the decline of advertising will prompt the channel to change its ways.

Tough luck. If you’re a cable channel subscriber, you’re almost certainly paying for Fox News, whether you like it or not.

This essential fact about how cable programming works is especially important at the moment for two reasons. One is that the trial of Dominion’s lawsuit is on the verge of starting in a Delaware courtroom. 

(The trial was supposed to begin Monday, but the judge has deferred proceedings for a day to give the two sides a crack at an eleventh-hour settlement; if that doesn’t happen, jury selection will be completed Tuesday and opening statements begin.)

The other reason is that negotiations between Fox and several major cable systems over the monthly fees the systems pay to carry Fox News are now underway or will be shortly. 

In the past, the cable systems have largely bowed down to Fox’s demands; how the company’s legal headwinds play into those negotiations going forward is anyone’s guess.

One might be tempted to call Fox’s reliance on so-called carriage fees the dirty little secret of Fox News’ survival despite the flight of its blue-chip advertisers, except that it’s not much of a secret.

For years it’s been clear that Fox collects far more from what it calls “affiliate fees” than from advertising sponsors. In its most recent financial statement, for the quarter ended Dec. 31, Fox said it collected $1 billion in affiliate fees for its cable programming, but only $451 million from sponsors.

For the most recent full fiscal year ended June 30, Fox collected $4.2 billion in affiliate fees, compared with $1.46 billion in advertising. If advertising on Fox cable channels fell to zero, the segment would still have reported an operating profit of about $1.47 billion.

Fox Corp. doesn’t break out the fees it collects for Fox News specifically, but it’s possible to construct an estimate. The company reported that the news channel had 75 million subscribers as of last June 30. 

Industry reports place the fee it collects from the cable operators that carry Fox News at about $2 per cable subscriber per month, which works out to $1.5 billion a year in carriage fees. 

These figures don’t mean that 75 million cable viewers regularly tune in to Fox News — that’s just the number of subscribers claimed by the cable systems that carry the channel. A more accurate estimate is that Fox News can claim about 3 million regular viewers. The other 72 million are paying for nothing.

In traditional theories about consumer behavior, people who don’t like or don’t trust a product can vote with their feet, simply by choosing not to buy.

That’s not how things work with cable television. Fox News has notched its impressive subscription figures because cable consumers typically don’t have a choice. Fox News is one of the channels that cable systems treat as a must-have offering and, therefore, bundle it into their basic cable subscriptions. (Among the others are ESPN and CNN.)

It’s remotely conceivable that cable magnates will examine the declining, if not completely evaporated, credibility of Fox as a news channel and decide to play hardball, either by offering smaller carriage fees or taking Fox News off the basic subscription tier entirely.

The operative term is “remotely.” The television industry is a thin reed to lean on when it comes to the public interest. Many of its executives are moral black holes. Recall, for example, how Les Moonves, then the chairman and CEO of CBS, giggled and chortled in 2016 over the horrifying inanity of the race for the GOP presidential nomination and its featured star, Donald Trump.

“Man, this is pretty amazing,” Moonves told the audience at a media conference. “Who would have thought this circus would would come to town? It may not be good for America, but it’s damn good for CBS. [Laughs] The money’s rolling in. ... This is fun.”

To peals of laughter, Moonves continued, “This is going to be a very good year for us. Sorry, it’s a terrible thing to say, but bring it on, Donald, go ahead. Keep going. ... For us, economically, Donald’s place in this election is a good thing.” (Moonves left CBS in 2018 after allegations surfaced of him sexually harassing and intimidating female employees.) 

The industry’s surpassing love of lucre beyond all else doesn’t only infect political coverage. Southern California sports fans can cast their minds back to the six-year blackout of Dodgers games on most of the region’s pay-TV services starting in 2013. 

That’s when the Dodgers’ new owners, led by Guggenheim Partners, reached a 25-year, $8.35-billion deal with Time Warner Cable to create a Dodgers cable channel. Time Warner figured it could make the deal pay by hawking the channel to the other pay-TV outlets in the region.

But Time Warner demanded such a high price for the channel that it received a firm “no” from every other pay-TV system, which included Cox, Charter Communications, the fiber services Verizon FiOS and AT&T U-verse, and the satellite companies DirecTV and Dish. Time Warner Cable served only about 30% of the pay-TV households in the Southland, so Dodger games were effectively blacked out for the other 70%.

The Dodgers held out for the highest price they could get for the TV rights, figuring the team is such a jewel in the Southern California sports crown that the sky was the limit. Time Warner figured it could squeeze the other pay-TV companies for every last dime because, really, what TV service would dare not carry the Dodgers, whatever the price? The answer was: all of them.

The blackout was lifted only after Time Warner Cable merged with Charter to create the Spectrum service. Who lost? The fans, that’s who.

Fox News isn’t the only channel that cable subscribers pay for but don’t watch. Basic cable tiers probably include a majority of channels that the average subscriber never watches and may not even know exist. 

For years, consumer advocates maintained that giving subscribers a la carte options from cable menus instead of the one-size-fits-all model would save people money. 

Alas, this nirvana has proved to be a chimera. Streaming channels have peeled off from cable lineups and established their own individualized subscription services, with the result that what used to be bundled together in premium tiers are now separate charges. My own combined monthly bill for streaming services now comes to well more than $100, while my cable bill has risen faster than inflation.

The supine Federal Communications Commission deserves plenty of blame for this. The FCC has waved through cable mergers, including the Time Warner-Charter deal and Comcast’s acquisition of NBCUniversal, that have achieved nothing but the shrinkage of consumer choice.

What choices do consumers have regarding Fox News? Not many, if any. The progressive media watchdog Media Matters for America is pushing an “Unfox my Cable Box” grass roots initiative, but it’s too early to say if it has any traction. 

Consumers can cancel their cable subscriptions and turn to external antennas to receive local broadcast channels, but the betting here is that it will be a long time before the decline in cable subscribers is large enough to force cable executives to reconsider their basic tier offerings. The FCC might be able to impose consumer choice on cable systems by regulation, but that’s a slow process even under the best circumstances, and would surely come under a years-long legal attack from the industry.

Still, consumers shouldn’t stay silent. Cable executives have kowtowed to Fox News in the past because its viewers have tended to speak with a single voice, backed by right-wing politicians; losing access to the channel would surely provoke an outcry from people with megaphones. 

When DirecTV (which is part-owned by AT&T) announced last year that it would drop the right-wing channel OAN, six red-state attorneys general accused the satellite service of bowing to “powerful left-wing voices.” DirecTV dropped it anyway. 

But OAN is a relatively small player. Fox News is not. Moreover, having been founded in 1996, it has been a fixture on cable TV for the better part of a quarter-century. That makes it harder to excise.

But not impossible. Those who find the presence of Fox News on their cable menus detestable should let their cable operators know it. If the Dominion lawsuit resumes Tuesday, more evidence of the cable channel’s irresponsible promotion of false antidemocratic claims may emerge. Another lawsuit against Fox, a $2.7-billion claim filed in New York by the voting machine company Smartmatic, is in the offing, and could pile on further allegations. 

At some point, cable executives may find that the drawbacks of keeping Fox News on basic cable outweigh the benefits of keeping it on. If those can be translated into dollars lost because subscribers are going away, maybe the cable firms will act in a way that serves, rather than undermines, the public interest, by kicking Fox News to the curb.

PVC Emulsion Market: Key Findings

PVC emulsion is widely utilized in the production of synthetic leather, sealants, and flooring & wall coverings. Population is on the rise in most developed and developing countries globally. Hence, governments of these countries are focusing on infrastructure development in order to fulfil the mounting demand for houses and commercial buildings. Thus, rise in construction projects across the globe is leading to increase in demand for PVC emulsion to manufacture floorings and ceilings as per the TMR research report, which offers important insights on market trends.

Demand for PVC emulsion is growing in recent years owing to its ability to offer outstanding foam layer and softness in the manufacturing of synthetic leather. Moreover, it is lightweight and highly durable. Materials manufactured using PVC are gaining popularity as they do not create a dusty environment during installation. They are termite- and water-proof and prevent mold & mildew growth. This aside, they can be easily incorporated in various home interior designs. Increase in adoption of PVC-based synthetic leather is likely to fuel business opportunities in the PVC emulsion market during the forecast period.

PVC emulsion is a key raw material utilized in the production of artificial leather. Leather produced using PVC emulsion resin offers various advantages such as increased durability and cost-effectiveness as compared to polyurethane (PU) leather. It shows high resistance to extreme weather conditions and wear compared to PU-based and natural leather. Demand for synthetic leather has increased in the past few years due to rise in concerns about the usage of natural leather. Popularity of cruelty-free products is on the rise among customers across the globe. Moreover, governments of several countries are implementing strict legislations and laws to prevent the usage of animal-based products. These factors are leading to rise in sales of synthetic leather products, which in turn is likely to propel the PVC emulsion industry in the next few years.
