Washington — 

U.S. lawmakers Thursday charged the Chinese Communist Party is using coercive economic practices to achieve worldwide dominance over the United States.

The accusations came at a hearing of the House Select Committee on Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Partydays after U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen met with Chinese officials in Beijing to discuss the nations’ economic relationship.

Yellen said that while the United States was taking targeted national security actions, “a decoupling of the world's two largest economies would be disastrous for interests for both countries and destabilizing for the world, and it would be virtually impossible to undertake. We want a dynamic and healthy global economy that is open, free and fair.”

Diplomatic relations between the two countries have been tense since the U.S. downed a Chinese spy balloon earlier this year. Witnesses told the House panel Thursday U.S. companies are facing increasing threats operating inside China.

“There's no such thing as a private company in China, a raft of legislation like the updated counterespionage law, the data security law, the anti-foreign sanctions law has codified what was always true. China reserves the right to swipe any data, to seize any assets and take IP that it wishes,” committee Chairman Mike Gallagher said.

According to committee members, China’s restrictive environment is resulting in a so-called “brain-drain” of its own business people, turning China into the top country in the world for the departure of wealthy individuals, fleeing what they fear is the Communist Party’s ability to arbitrarily seize assets.

Witnesses testified the environment in China is becoming increasingly restrictive for American companies and individuals.

“In the last few months, PRC authorities are now charging any domestic or foreign businessperson with espionage simply for providing any services using PRC information to grant or give to third-country-based customers,” Piper Lounsbury, chief research and development officer at Strategy Risks, a risk management firm for companies doing business in China, said.

“The crackdown on consulting businesses, the enhanced data, secrecy laws and the flow of PRC information just highlight the negative symmetry that we have with China. This means that even companies now can't even do due diligence in advance of any sort of business transaction,” Lounsbury, said.

The Chinese Foreign Affairs Ministry pushed back against criticism of its business practices Monday in response to a U.S. State Department travel advisory issued this month warning Americans citizens of the “risk of wrongful detention.”

“China is a country under the rule of law. The decision of relevant departments to carry out security review of foreign companies according to law is based on laws and facts. China welcomes citizens and enterprises from all over the world to visit China and do business in China, and protects their safety and legitimate rights and interests in China, including freedom of exit and entry,” said Mao Ning, a spokesperson for the ministry.

Witnesses, though, told the committeetold lawmakers that American businesses face a restrictive environment led from the top down by President Xi Jinping, potential intellectual property theft and the constant threat of seized assets.

“The issue is how much do I need to lose to have access to the market, so it’s a balancing act,” said Desmond Shum, a businessman whose ex-wife, Whitney Duan, was arrested by the Chinese. Shum, the author of Red Roulette: An Insider's Story of Wealth, Power, Corruption and Vengeance in Today’s China, told U.S. news program 60 Minutes that he and his then-wife participated in corrupt business practices in China.

In its latest report to Congress in 2022, the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, set up by Congress in 2000 to monitor and report on the national security implications of the U.S.-China economic relationship, as well as make recommendations, said U.S. businesses and investors are reevaluating their reengagement in China.

“China has subverted the global trade system and moved further from the spirit and letter of its obligations under its WTO accession protocol,” the report said. “China’s subsidies, overcapacity, intellectual property theft, and protectionist nonmarket policies exacerbate distortions to the global economy. These practices have harmed workers, producers, and innovators in the United States and other market-based countries.”

The commission went on to say the United States’ ability to overcome harmful trade practices was undermined by the lack of a coherent strategy.

How Often Should A Home Fitness Training System Be Used?

Cardiovascular training devices are expected to strengthen their presence over the forecast period and are expected to grow at a CAGR of over 3% from 2015 to 2022. Adoption of cardiovascular training devices is comparatively higher as compared to strength training devices as it offers dual benefit of disease prevention and well-being. Cardiovascular training devices such as treadmills, stationary bicycles, rowing machines, and stair machines are extensively used to maintain body fitness and keep the Body Mass Index (BMI) within healthy limits.

Health clubs and gyms dominated the industry accounting for over 45% of the market share in 2014. Home users of such devices procure different equipment for their personal use while these devices are an essential prerequisite for health clubs and gyms in order to run their businesses. Other commercial users, such as hotels, hospitals, and corporate offices, purchase them to improve the customer experience they offer. Asia Pacific is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 7% over the forecast period due to a relatively untapped market for sophisticated and advanced fitness equipment in the region.

Large youth populations with rising disposable incomes in countries such as China and India are expected to drive industry growth during the next seven years. The rising overweight population in North America has led the region to dominate the industry. Companies operate their businesses in highly competitive market by launching new products or updated versions of existing products.

Technological and product innovations have driven the highly dynamic market. Industry participants such as Brunswick, Cybex International Inc., Johnson Health Tech, Nautilus Inc., Paramount, and Precor have formed strategic alliances with gym and health club service providers to gain the industry revenue share and establish their dominance in the market. Also, remember that you might also land on the beam and so this exercise should only be done if you are used to falling and looking for a more challenging training game.

There are a lot of ways to make fun use of a balance beam. Just remember that safety is first and you should start off easy. If your beam is high off the ground and slippery, you could end up with a few broken bones or worse. I have yet to be injured on a beam, but the risk with anything that has height (like riding a horse) is there. I prefer puzzle / jigsaw style martial arts mats. These are the easiest mats to work with and provide great protection outdoors without taking up space or being too soft. If a mat is too soft, you will risk twisting your ankles etc.

These mats can be used alone or together, as they are interlocking mats. You can also flip them over. Because we can just toss them where we need them, they make a great solution for obstacle course and outdoor training. You can walk on them with shoes too. Just be sure that the ground under the mats doesn't have any sharp rocks or sticks. A simple fitness walk through town might include passing by Victorian and colonial homes such as the breathtaking Lounsbury House/Community Center. If you prefer to run, you might take a brief rest and look at monuments that record dates and events of the 1777 "Battle of Ridgefield." You can walk forever and back again. Yes, Ridgefielders are basically very health oriented and fit. As mentioned above, the town has parks, walking and hiking trails and landscapes that are conducive to fitness and wellness.

When you have some spare time come fall in love with Ridgefield. Check out the beauty of Martin Park for swimming, Sturges Park for hiking, or Graham Dickinson SPIRIT Skate Park for aggressive in-line skating and skateboarding. A few minutes from the center of Ridgefield you will find Seth Low Pierrepont State Park located on Barlow Mountain Road.

This is a great place to escape where you can fish, swim, kayak and canoe. A portable exercise bike serves the same purpose as its bigger counterpart, be it recumbent or upright. It was designed to tone the muscles of the legs, thighs and buttocks. A portable exercise bike serves the same purpose as its bigger counterpart, be it recumbent or upright. It was designed to tone the muscles of the legs, thighs and buttocks. However, sacrificing the size for portability might also mean that the device sacrifices some of its effectiveness. Yes, they do have advantages. They might be small but they can provide the user his basic needs in terms of cardiovascular exercise and muscle toning. One advantage that this mini-equipment have is that they cost less than the usual biggies. They can cost from as low as $20 to $500. There are high-end portable models that sell for around $899 and even higher, but maybe it would be advisable to get the traditional exercise bike for this price.
