"I'm kind of reluctant to say this," he began, before saying: "I just have to. I'm not into protecting certain things any more.""Jeph Loeb told the writers room not to write for Nobu and Gao, and this was reiterated many times by many of the writers and showrunners," Shinkoda said of the two Asian characters.He quoted Loeb as saying: "Nobody cares about Chinese people and Asian people. There were three previous Marvel movies, a trilogy called 'Blade' that was made where Wesley Snipes killed 200 Asians each movie. Nobody gives a s--- so don't write about Nobu and Gao.'"Shinkoda said that a backstory and more complex storyline for Kobu was then dropped because of Loeb's instruction.

Many thought an Asian actor should have been cast.Cantor and Walker, who played Mitchell and Francis respectively, addressed the "Iron Fist" issue in the same conversation this week."If they missed any opportunity to show what they were made of, I thought perhaps it was in the 'Iron Fist' universe," Cantor said.

By Lalit K Jha Washington, Apr 10 () Amidst the coronavirus pandemic, a bipartisan group of top US lawmakers have urged China to urgently shut down all of its operating wet markets as that have a potential to expose humans to health risks through the introduction of zoonotic disease.A wet market sells fresh meat, fish, produce, and other perishable goods as distinguished from "dry markets". It gets its name from the floors being constantly wet from the spraying of fresh produce and cleaning of meat and seafood stalls."We write to urgently request that China immediately close all operating wet markets that have a potential to expose humans to health risks through the introduction of zoonotic disease into the human population," wrote the senators, in a letter to Chinese Ambassador to the United States Cui Tiankai.A zoonotic disease is an illness that can be passed from an animal to a human.Gao Fu, the director of China's Center for Disease Control and Prevention, has acknowledged that "the origin of the new coronavirus is the wildlife sold illegally in a Wuhan (China) seafood market," they said.A wet market in the central Chinese city of Wuhan is believed to be the source of the coronavirus pandemic that began in December last year, crossing from animals to humans. "It is well documented that wet markets in China have been the source of a number of worldwide health problems, and their operation should cease immediately so as to protect the Chinese people and the international community from additional health risks," the senators wrote."Therefore, we are urging China to shut down all wet markets that allow for interactions between humans and wild animals that pose public health risks," the lawmakers concluded.Prominent among the group of 11 Senators were Republican Mitt Romney, Republican Lindsey Graham and Democratic Chris Coons."We understand and respect that wet markets are an important component to Chinese society and way of life, but we believe the current moment, which has disrupted everyday life around the world, calls for extreme precautions."Last week, China published an official timeline that said that the novel coronavirus was first detected in Wuhan in late December where it was listed as "pneumonia of unknown cause".The letter of the Senators comes after Dr Anthony Fauci, the Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) at the National Institutes of Health, called for the closing of these markets."They should shut down (wet markets) right away. I mean it boggles my mind when we have so many diseases that emanate out of that unusual human animal interface that we don't just shut it down. I don't know what else has to happen to get us to appreciate that," he said."And I think that there are certain countries in which this is a very common place. I would like to see the rest of the world really lean with a lot of pressure on those countries that have that because what we are going through right now is a direct result of that," Fauci said.In the October 2006 issue of Current Opinions in Infectious Diseases, it was found that "in Chinese wet-markets, unique epicenters for transmission of potential viral pathogens, new genes may be acquired or existing genes modified through various mechanisms such as genetic reassortment, recombination and mutation.The wet-markets, at closer proximity to humans, with high viral burden or strains of higher transmission efficiency, facilitate transmission of the viruses to humans."

US lawmakers urge China to shut down 'wet markets' amid coronavirus crisis

By Lalit K Jha Washington, Apr 10 () A bipartisan group of the top US lawmakers have urged China to "urgently" shut down all of its operating wet markets, amid the coronavirus pandemic, that have a potential to expose humans to "health risks" through the introduction of zoonotic disease. A wet market sells fresh meat, fish, produce, and other perishable goods as distinguished from "dry markets". It gets its name from the floors being constantly wet from the spraying of fresh produce and cleaning of meat and seafood stalls."We write to urgently request that China immediately close all operating wet markets that have a potential to expose humans to health risks through the introduction of zoonotic disease into the human population," wrote the Senators, in a letter to Chinese Ambassador to the United States Cui Tiankai.A zoonotic disease is an illness that can be passed from an animal to a human."It is well documented that wet markets in China have been the source of a number of worldwide health problems, and their operation should cease immediately so as to protect the Chinese people and the international community from additional health risks," they wrote."Therefore, we are urging China to shut down all wet markets that allow for interactions between humans and wild animals that pose public health risks," the lawmakers concluded.

Where are all the constitutional conservatives? Politicians are very good at praising themselves, and among Republicans these days, the most fashionable self-flattery is: "I'm a constitutional conservative." Sen. Ted Cruz can barely order a soy latte without calling himself a "constitutional conservative." Sen. Tom Cotton, too, styles himself one. Sen. Josh Hawley is so constitutionally conservative that it's <a href="https://joshhawley.com/">the top of his biography</a>, in all caps. But what on earth does it mean to be a constitutional conservative if you're encouraging this to be done to the Constitution in your name? Let's start with postal delivery, which is one of the very few government obligations the Constitution insists on: This week the President declared that he would <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-admits-he-wants-block-usps-funding-sabotage-mail-voting-2020-8">sabotage mail delivery</a> in order to help him win reelection. Is that what the framers intended with Article 1, Section 8, senators? The Constitution requires a Census this year, an "actual enumeration" of everyone living in the United States (or "these United States," as constitutional conservatives like to intone). But despite a pandemic, despite begging by all census experts, the Trump administration has refused to extend the Census in order to "actually enumerate" everyone, but rather <a href="https://www.vox.com/2020/8/6/21354283/trump-census-2020-end-early-covid-19">have cut the data collection short by a month</a> — with the blatant goal of reducing the count of poorer and marginalized people and immigrants to increase GOP political power. Is this what the Framers intended with Article 1, Section 2? The president has used his office to ask foreign governments for financial benefits. Just a couple weeks ago, it came out that he pushed his UK ambassador to lobby the British government to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/21/world/europe/trump-british-open.html">move the British Open golf tournament</a> to a Trump golf club. Trump has repeatedly asked <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/09/20/trumps-assertions-that-hed-accept-foreign-campaign-assistance-take-new-light/">foreign leaders for help that would personally benefit him</a>, and in fact just this past week said he'd accept election assistance from foreign governments. (Election assistance that <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-russia-report-2020-election-dni-coats-2020-8">Vladimir Putin is already giving</a>, as Trump's own intelligence officials determined, before he fired them.) When the Framers wrote Article 1, Section 9 and Article 2, Section 1, did they believe a president should seek compensation and electoral help from foreign princes? The President has <a href="https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/511265-trumps-contempt-for-advice-and-consent">stacked his administration with acting officials</a> rather than asking for the advice and consent of the Senate for their approval. Just last week he withdrew the controversial Senate nomination of a DOD official, and <a href="https://www.military.com/daily-news/2020/08/03/despite-nomination-withdrawal-anthony-tata-set-work-pentagon.html">simply appointed him to do the same work</a> in a non-confirmation job. Constitutional conservatives went ballistic when Democrats skirted the advice and consent requirement of Article 2, Second 2. Do they believe the Framers intended for President Trump to be held to a different standard?These are just the ways the Trump administration has insulted the Constitution — and not merely the Constitution, but the core parts of the Constitution — in the past month. (Oh wait, as I am finishing this, I realize I forgot about the executive orders: Trump is also spending billions of dollars Congress didn't appropriate on an unemployment program Congress didn't approve! Oh, and the President is also trying to seize Congress's taxation authority by unilaterally pausing collection of the payroll tax.) This nation will not survive as the constitutional republic that constitutional conservatives claim they want to preserve if they're willing to abuse the Constitution when it's politically convenient. — DP<div type="image" title="Chad Wolf" height="1513" width="3026" msid="77552862" hostid="261"></div>Trump administration officials are illegally occupying their posts, and there may be nothing we can do about it.It gets worse, Plotz.This morning the Government Accountability Office (GAO) ruled that acting Homeland Security chief <keyword id="9594193" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="chad-wolf">Chad Wolf</keyword> and acting deputy secretary Ken Cuccinelli were <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/watchdog-says-acting-dhs-chief-not-legally-eligible-serve-role-2020-8">illegally appointed to their current positions</a> and ineligible to serve in them under the The Federal Vacancies Reform Act of 1998. Basically, those positions require Senate confirmation <a href="https://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R44997.pdf">within 210 days</a>. And Trump just never sent them for confirmation. <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-surviving-autocracy-interview-masha-gessen-2020-7">Masha Gessen</a>, the New Yorker writer and author of "Surviving Autocracy," talked to me about this very situation last month amid after Trump sent federal officers to violently <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-portland-secret-police-force-border-patrol-homeland-security-2020-7">confront protesters</a> in Portland."We're going to find out soon that it's going to be very difficult to hold anybody involved to account, because it's not even clear that the heads of the DHS [Department of Homeland Security] and the CBP [Border Patrol] legally occupy their posts. They're both acting heads, and for both of them, the maximum term allowed has expired, which may or may not be a big deal. Nobody quite understands the law. But the line of succession as written in law has been violated. That's a great example of how incompetence actually creates the impossibility of holding these people to account. They weren't confirmed by the Senate, and the only person who can fire them is Trump. So they're just as oblivious to any oversight agency as they are to the procedure of actually getting appointed to office. Basically saying: "What are you going to do about it?"This raises a disturbing potential scenario: Trump administration officials being <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-not-playing-dictator-anymore-orange-man-good-portland-chicago-2020-7">immune from accountability</a> because they never legally occupied their posts. "Checks and balances" was fun while it lasted, America. — <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/author/anthony-l-fisher">Anthony Fisher</a>Does the Israel-United Arab Emirates deal mean Trump just rebooted the Israeli-Palestinian peace process?No, it does not. The deal, brokered by first son-in-law Jared Kushner, has the United Arab Emirates and Israel agreeing to a <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/jared-kushner-is-working-on-more-mideast-pacts-with-israel">historic diplomatic normalization</a> between the two countries. UAE is now just the third Arab nation to recognize the existence of the state of Israel, joining Egypt and Jordan, with which Israel signed peace treaties after decades of war. Israel and the UAE have had <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/israel-united-arab-emirates-agree-full-normalization-relations-n1236606">clandestine business and intelligence associations</a> for years, as have <a href="https://carnegieendowment.org/2020/05/27/how-israel-and-arab-world-are-making-peace-without-peace-deal-pub-81918">other Sunni Arab countries</a>, such as Saudi Arabia, which see Israel as an ally against Iran. But given the persistence of the idea in many parts of the world that 72-year-old Israel is an inherently illegitimate state, this is a very big step toward potential stability, some day, in the Middle East.The Trump administration deserves credit for brokering this deal, and it also deserves credit for getting Israel to agree to suspend the annexation of disputed territory in the West Bank as one the deal's terms. But make no mistake, this is not a rebooting of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.Yes, Israel gave up a big bargaining chip. The problem is, the Trump administration <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2019-03-20/golan-annexation-by-israel-shouldn-t-get-u-s-recognition">gave them that chip</a> when it recognized Israel's annexation of the Golan Heights and moved the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Both moves had been opposed by US presidents for more than half a century, but Trump just handed them over to Israel without asking for anything in return.For their part, all the Palestinians got was Israel promising to "suspend" annexation of land that is the foundation of any potential Palestinian state. And a two-state solution is the only way Israel can remain a Jewish state and a democracy. Now the Trump administration wants to be seen as great peacemakers, but the "peace plan" includes a map of land swaps only agreed to by the Israelis — as a starting point in the negotiations. This map was originally rolled out to little fanfare in January, after which <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/kushner-isnt-even-trying-sell-middle-east-peace-plan-palestine-2020-1">Kushner went on CNN</a> and said the Palestinians should embrace his plan, otherwise "they're going to screw up another opportunity, like they've screwed up every other opportunity that they've ever had in their existence."These aren't the noises produced by a good faith and impartial negotiator, and the Palestinians <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/08/israel-uae-normalising-relations-200814105701641.html">have good reason to be unimpressed by the deal</a>. So, no, this is not the reboot of the peace process, but it is a legitimately big deal. — AF<h2>BUSINESS &amp; ECONOMY</h2><div type="image" title="Fortnite Apple ad parody" height="963" width="1925" msid="77552866" hostid="261"></div><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/why-apple-google-sued-fortnite-epic-games-antitrust-explained-2020-8">Fortnite's creator sued Apple and Google for monopolistic practices after the game was barred from the app stores. </a> Epic Games set an antitrust trap for Apple and Google, provoking them into banning Fortnite in a fight over their cut of in-game purchases.

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image">JACQUELYN MARTIN/AFP/Getty ImagesA US flag is tweaked ahead of a <keyword id="6355005" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="news">news</keyword> conference.</div></div></div><ul class="summary-list"><li>A win at this week's meeting between the US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping at the G20 summit in Buenos Aires could be unlikely, as accusations between the dueling superpowers drag on.</li><li>A Sydney-based China expert fears Trump's understanding of the consequences of a full-blown trade war are inconsequential because he "simply doesn't care."</li><li>Regional tensions are already high after China fired back at the president, following his administration's latest accusations of corporate espionage.</li><li>The US's top trade representative has updated his investigation into China's alleged theft of US intellectual property, technology and trade secrets.</li><li>Both sides would like to find a way to step back, but their hardline constituents are unlikely to accept any loss of face.</li></ul>Any remaining optimism for the long-awaited meet between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping at the G20 summit in Buenos Aires later this week have taken a big hit as the dueling superpowers fall deeper into a trade war.The stakes have risen sharply in recent weeks just as relations between the US and China have skirted new lows.The US and China have been engaged in a trade war since July, with tariffs and takedowns flying back and forth with an increasing intensity. The consequences stretch well beyond the economies of the two global superpowers.Professor James Laurenceson, the deputy director of the Australia-China Relations Institute (ACRI) at the University of Technology in Sydney told INSIDER that the upheaval in once-reliable trade between the US, China and the trading nations caught in the middle, is incrementally undermining US legitimacy."These have the potential to make louder broader questions around the value of US leadership in the region," Laurenceson said.Countries in the Asia-Pacific are among those directly hit with US steel tariffs and, perhaps more importantly, indirectly via tariffs imposed on Chinese goods that so many Asia-Pacific regional supply chains feed into.Trump <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2018/11/trump-eyes-china-tariffs-pushing-total-500bn-181127061925772.html">earlier this week</a> pledged to raise tariff rates on hundreds of billions of dollars in Chinese imports as early as January 2019. Even the most staunch US security allies like Australia have spent years effectively staking out a position on trade that now stands at polar opposites with the US's position."While the countries of the region, without fail, emphasize the importance of the World Trade Organization to resolving disputes, President Trump and the most influential voices in his administration consider it anti-US," Laurenceson said."Whether President Trump understands the consequences of an escalating trade war is secondary to the fact that he simply doesn't care."<h2>The base case for war</h2><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image">VCG/VCG via Getty ImagesContainers are unloaded at Qingdao Port on November 8, 2018 in Qingdao, Shandong Province of China.</div></div></div>Writing in <a href="http://www.lowyinstitute.org/the-interpreter/logic-wayside/g20">The Interpreter</a> for the Sydney-based think tank, <a href="https://www.lowyinstitute.org/">The Lowy Institute</a>, nonresident fellow Dr. Merriden Varrall said that while it would be nice to picture a rosy reimagining of Washington and Beijing coming together, defusing the ticking trade tensions, maybe even forestalling Trump's promised escalation of tariffs, the chasm dividing the two sides just yawns wider."Despite the hope, there is little reason to be optimistic that such a deal will be made, or, if it is, last long. The domestic political imperatives for each leader are at least as weighty as any economic logic," <a href="http://www.lowyinstitute.org/the-interpreter/logic-wayside/g20">Dr. Varrall said</a>.Public pressure in the form of the hardline constituents that form the core power base of both presidents are working hard to ensure Xi and Trump blink last and least in Buenos Aires.This is perhaps among the reasons why the self-described dealmaker in the White House told <a href="https://www.wsj.com/asia">The Wall Street Journal</a> on Monday that he would stick to a promise to slap broad new tariffs on Chinese imports if no deal emerges from Argentina.The potential for relations to fall apart sometime over the weekend are higher when the two sides choose to trade barbs, rather than goods. Instead of concentrating on finding a trade breakthrough, the opposing administrations are intensifying hostilities in the lead-up to the summit.Last week, US trade representative Robert Lighthizer released a statement calling out China for its ongoing "unfair, unreasonable, and market-distorting practice."In return, a roundly annoyed Ministry of Finance and Commerce (MOFCOM) made very clear its feelings about Trump, after the ill-timing of the trade investigation update.According to The Wall Street Journal, with just days away from meeting with Xi, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/transcript-of-president-trumps-interview-with-the-wall-street-journal-1543272091">Trump vowed anew</a> to paint tariffs all over whatever remaining imports are coming out of China, should the two sides fail to reach agreement.The <a href="https://ustr.gov/">United States Trade Representative</a> (USTR) is on point for an investigation into what it says is <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/us-begins-section-301-investigation-2017-8">China's theft and manipulation of US intellectual property</a>, unwelcome technology transfers and the trade in corporate secrets.In its latest update made available last week, <a href="https://ustr.gov/sites/default/files/enforcement/301Investigations/301%20Report%20Update.pdf">Lighthizer said</a> China has not only failed to check the "unfair" practices that have blistered bilateral trade relations, but has apparently stepped up its operations.The 50-page report goes on to cite a long menu of cases that have targeted the US, Europe, Japan, Australia, and other nations across a whole slew of industries."China conducts cyber intrusion and cyber theft hand-in-hand with the physical theft of intellectual property, many times with the use of insiders," the report claims.Here is USTR's report in <a href="https://ustr.gov/sites/default/files/enforcement/301Investigations/301%20Report%20Update.pdf">full.</a><h2>Add oil!

So far, $US360 billion worth of goods has been subject to duties.Pouring oil on the fires ahead of this week's critical meeting between Trump and Xi, MOFCOM on Friday <a href="http://www.china.org.cn/business/2018-11/23/content_74200559.htm">called on the US to put a stop to its "destructive" policies</a>.In the face of that criticism, MOFCOM said that these latest accusations from the US were "totally unacceptable" and ignored the facts."By putting domestic laws above international laws, the United States has broken its commitment to all members of the World Trade Organization and has disregarded and damaged multilateral rules of the World Trade Organization," Gao Feng, a ministry spokesperson, said.<h2>Dig in</h2><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image">AFP/Getty ImagesChinese McNuggets. Dig in.</div></div></div>But on the issue of corporate espionage, China appears to have dug in, the USTR report suggests.And the US is firing back.Late last week, the Trump administration <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com.au/us-asks-allies-to-shun-huawei-china-tech-2018-11">reached out to its key allies</a> and urged them not to allow the Chinese tech-giant and telecommunications provider, Huawei, access to critical infrastructure.On Wednesday the New Zealand government rejected an application from the national telecom provider, Spark, to involve Huawei in the rollout of the country's next-generation 5G network, on national-security grounds, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/28/business/huawei-new-zealand-papua-new-guinea.html">The New York Times reported.</a>Trump in an interview with The Wall Street Journal asserted the only US-China deal that appeals to him is "China has to open up their country to competition … otherwise, I don't see a deal being made. And if it's not made, we will be taking in billions and billions of dollars," Trump said, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/transcript-of-president-trumps-interview-with-the-wall-street-journal-1543272091">according to a transcript of the conversation</a> published on Monday.The US president's latest assertions are not likely to sit well with Xi, as <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/the-real-problem-with-chinas-corporate-debt-load-2017-1">China's prospects for avoiding the so-called middle-income trap</a> that has affected emerging economies throughout history continues to loom imposingly on Xi's economic horizon.Trump and Xi are reportedly set for a working dinner at the summit that runs Friday and Saturday, in what is likely to be one of the most important economic meals in modern history.Answers, in one form or another, will come when the two sides meet face-to-face again this week. <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/anthony-scaramucci-trump-press-economy-2018-11">Anthony Scaramucci claims Trump isn't a nationalist: 'He likes saying that because it irks these intellectual elitists'</a></h3> <div> </div> </div>
