China’s Overseas United Front Work: Background and Implications for the United States.
U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, August 24, 2018, 39 pages.
“United Front-related organizations are playing an increasingly important role in China’s broader foreign policy under Chinese President and General Secretary of the CCP Xi Jinping. It is precisely the nature of United Front work to seek influence through connections that are difficult to publically prove and to gain influence that is interwoven with sensitive issues such as ethnic, political, and national identity, making those who seek to identify the negative effects of such influence vulnerable to accusations of prejudice. Because of the complexities of this issue, it is crucial for the U.S. government to better understand Beijing’s United Front strategy, its goals, and the actors responsible for achieving them if it is to formulate an effective and comprehensive response.” (From U.S.

The Evolution of U.S. Defense Posture in North and West Africa.
Center for Strategic and International Studies, August 2018, 9 pages.
“What is the U.S. military presence in North and West Africa, and how did it evolve? The Defense Department is considering adjustments to its North and West Africa posture in response to a fatal ambush on a U.S. special operations forces team in Niger last fall. Without some historical context, it is difficult to assess if these adjustments reflect substantial changes in U.S. presence, and how they might affect U.S. Africa policy in the future.” (From CSIS)

A Quiet Solution for the East China Sea Territorial Dispute.
Center for Strategic and International Studies, August 16, 2018, 3 pages.
“Throughout most of the post-Cold War era, analysts identified three flashpoints as the principle challenges to East Asian stability. The most prominent is the Korean Peninsula. Relations across the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea dispute also hold the potential to undermine peace and stability. In recent years, a fourth flashpoint was added to the list – the quarrel among Japan, the Republic of China (ROC or Taiwan) and the People’s Republic of China (PRC or China) over the Senkaku/Diaoyutai/Diaoyu (SDD) Islands in the East China Sea. After a period of relative calm, the prospects for conflict over the SDD islands appear to be rising.” (From CSIS)

Trends in Trade: U.S.-China Goods Trade 2012-2017.
U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, July 19, 2018, 42 pages.
“Since joining the World Trade Organization in 2001, China has leveraged relatively cheap labor, large economies of scale, industrial policies, and the manufacturing capabilities of neighboring countries to become an export powerhouse in an increasing range of industries, while often limiting market access for foreign products. China’s scale as a trading power coupled with its protectionist policies have contributed to rising tensions in bilateral trade relations. This report describes and analyzes patterns in the U.S.-China trade relationship in 2012–2017 and is an update to a staff research report published by the Commission in November 2012 which covered trends in trade in 2000–2011.” (From U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission)

Tit-for-Tat Tariff Measures and U.S. Trade Policy.
Washington, D.C.: Congressional Research Service, July 11, 2018, 4 pages.
“U.S. trade policy under President Trump has involved greater use of trade laws to address imports that threaten to impair U.S. national security (Section 232), and trade practices that may violate trade agreements or are “unjustifiable” or “unreasonable” (Section 301). Congress has held several hearings on controversial presidential actions under these laws, raising questions about their economic and broader policy implications.” (From CRS Report)

The U.S. Trade Deficit: An Overview.
Washington, D.C.: Congressional Research Service, July 18, 2018, 2 pages.
“The trade deficit is the numerical difference between a country’s exports and imports of goods and services. The United States has experienced annual trade deficits during most of the post -WWII period. Some observers argue that the trade deficit costs U.S. jobs, is unsustainable, or reflects unfair trade practices by foreign competitors. Most economists contend this mischaracterizes the nature of the trade deficit and the role of trade in the economy. In general, most economists conclude the trade deficit stems largely from U.S. macroeconomic policies and an imbalance between saving and investment in the economy. Economists also conclude that trade creates both economic benefits and costs, but that the long-run net effect on the economy as a whole is positive.” (From CRS report)

Health Savings Accounts (HSAs).
Washington, D.C.: Congressional Research Service, July 31, 2018, 16 pages.
“A health savings account (HSA) is a tax-advantaged account that individuals can use to pay for unreimbursed medical expenses Individuals may establish and contribute to an HSA for each month that they are covered under an HSA-qualified high-deductible health plan (HDHP), do not have disqualifying coverage, and cannot be claimed as a dependent on another person’s tax return. The account can be established with an insurer, bank, or other Internal Revenue Service (IRS)-approved trustee and is tied to the individual. Account holders retain access to their accounts if they change employers, insurers, or subsequently obtain coverage under a non-HSA qualified plan. (From CRS report)

Introducing the Next Government Reform Majority: What Americans Want from Reform in 2018.
Brookings Institution, August 10, 2018, 7 pages.
“The author makes a provocative claim in the era of President Trump: the future of reform may rest with those who want to rebuild government. Although Mr. Trump was swept to office under a message of reducing government, “draining the swap,” and shrinking the federal workforce, these new data suggest that Americans are prepared for a different path.” (From Bookings Institution)

“The GII 2018 analyses the energy innovation landscape of the next decade and identifies possible breakthroughs in fields such as energy production, storage, distribution, and consumption. It also looks at how breakthrough innovation occurs at the grassroots level and describes how small-scale renewable systems are on the rise. After almost a decade of uneven progress, a broad-based global economic growth momentum is now in place. The current challenge is for the global economy to reach a comfortable cruising speed that can be sustained for the next several years.” (From Cornell SC Johnson College of Business)
