During an appearance on CBS News’ Face the Nation, O’Brien said the U.S. is going to “develop a vaccine first,” after host Margaret Brennan asked him if the American public would be able to benefit from a coronavirus vaccine should China beat Western researchers. But he didn’t rule out the possibility China could move ahead in development by spying on or stealing U.S. technology. “Now there’s a chance and it’s been reported that the Chinese have been engaged in espionage to try and find the research and the technologies that we’re working on both for a vaccine and a therapy,” O’Brien said....

Senior Rada members told Newsweek of China’s diplomatic pressure over the new caucus, known as the Taiwan Friendship Group, announced last week.

Citic’s bifurcated debut adds to mounting worries about China’s high-flying equities. Just a few years ago, troubled banks were seen as one of the big sinkholes that could bring down the China miracle—but suddenly they’re in every emerging-market portfolio.
