Fox’s Trish Regan responds to Liu Xin from CGTN and invites her for an “honest, live debate” to resolve their feud over the trade war.

I’ve noticed that their bandying words with each other has led some netizens to believe Regan is too emotional to be a news presenter and debater. They should know that, unlike many orthodox news anchors, Regan integrates her personal experience into her commentaries. It’s just her signature fashion and may not disqualify her for a decent debate.

The major thread running through the two ladies’ upcoming debate is as likely as not whether and how China has stolen trade secrets from the US. China considers the stigma of theft to be a pretext for checking against its currently stunning economic growth, while the US eagerly proffers evidence that China has been playing by its own set of rules, jeopardizing US businesses’ interests and even national security.

Their points are not going to be moot, yet the discussion per se is not likely to help end the war. We could pray that the two women’s talk will not do more harm than good.

In China, few people (far fewer than Canadians and Americans, TBH) have ever told me that they think Earth is flat. That’s probably because in the Chinese language, Earth is “diqiu”, literally translated “terrestrial (di) ball (qiu)”, which effectively conveys the idea of sphere and prevents them from unnecessarily depicting Earth as a vast, flat piece of land.

OMG I almost cried aloud to the preview of #TheBigBangTheory finale. 12 years is one sixth of a lifetime. How many TV series could have kept us company while we grew up and have become so important a part of our lives that we would deem ourselves incomplete without them?

The Apple HomeKit is so far the only smart home solution on the market that supports time-AND-location-based automation (e.g. “turn staircase lights on only when I arrive home after sunset”). Am I correct? 🤔
