While China and the United States are edging closer to a trade deal to end their protracted tariff war, the mutual distrust and geopolitical rivalry between the world's top two economies appears to be escalating. Squabbles over China's growing influence in Latin America and the Caribbean broke out again after Beijing last week secured Jamaica's official endorsement of its vast <a href="https://www.scmp.com/topics/belt-and-road-initiative">"Belt and Road Initiative"</a>. Jamaica joined President <keyword id="191809" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Xi-Jinping">Xi Jinping</keyword>'s signature infrastructure and trade push on Thursday by signing a memorandum of understanding, making it the latest Caribbean country to join the initiative after Barbados, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago and Guyana. Beijing's political and economic inroads into countries deemed to be America's backyard have apparently unnerved Washington, with Secretary of State <keyword id="3109665" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Mike-Pompeo">Mike Pompeo</keyword> ramping up his criticism of China in the past few days. During a four-nation tour of Latin America, the top US diplomat focused heavily on <a href="https://www.scmp.com/news/world/united-states-canada/article/3006000/mike-pompeo-blames-hypocritical-chinese-aid-nicolas">China's role in Venezuela</a> and growing economic reach in the region, accusing Beijing of injecting predatory, corrosive capital to buy off corrupt leaders and playing a long game against Washington's interests. Analysts said Pompeo's remarks on China showed that the progress reportedly achieved on the trade dispute would not extend to other tensions in bilateral ties, and the two countries remained on a collision course in the long run. "With China's continuous rise and its desire to reclaim its greatness on the world stage, the competition and even confrontation with the US are almost inevitable, with Latin America becoming the latest battleground," said <keyword id="2320977" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Huang-Jing">Huang Jing</keyword>, a professor at Beijing Language and Culture University's Institute of International and Regional Studies. During his stop in Santiago on Friday, Pompeo said the Chilean authorities shared the same concerns with Washington about China's influence. "China's trade activities often are deeply connected to their national security mission, their technological goals, their desire to steal intellectual property, to have forced technology transfer, to engage in activity that is not economic," he said. He reiterated his concerns on Saturday in Peru. "Too often we see China's predatory lending and debt diplomacy reverse positive advances in this area," he said. "Our shared goal would be to resist Chinese overtures and promote transparency." Pompeo continued to rap China during his trip to Paraguay, when he became the first US secretary of state to visit the former dictatorship since 1965. "If China shows up to compete on a commercial basis, that seems perfectly reasonable," he said in an interview with the Voice of America while in Paraguay, the only South American country that does not have diplomatic ties with Beijing, on Saturday. "When they show up with malign intent, to give money with strings attached, which will destroy the sovereignty of a South American nation, that is not good for the people in that country, and the US is prepared to help those countries recognise that threat and to offer alternatives to it," he said. "We don't want China to show up with bags full of money and bribe officials. We don't want China to show up and put Huawei or Chinese technology into the infrastructure of these countries so that the citizens, the citizens of Chile or the citizens of Paraguay, have their information, their private information, stolen by the Chinese government. We don't want corrupt activity," he said. Describing Beijing as a pretend friend of Latin America, Pompeo also criticised China's role in propping up Venezuela's embattled leader Nicolas Maduro during the trip. "China's bankrolling of the Maduro regime helped precipitate and prolong the crisis in that country," Pompeo said on Friday, adding that China had invested over US$60 billion through oil-for-loan deals in the past decade. His remarks came as Washington has become increasingly sensitive about Beijing's inroads into the region amid US President <keyword id="6354484" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Donald-Trump">Donald Trump</keyword>'s trade war with China and escalating rivalry over technological supremacy among other geopolitical tensions. Countering China's global ambitions also topped the agenda of Brazil's right-wing president <keyword id="4410893" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="jair-bolsonaro">Jair Bolsonaro</keyword>'s White House meeting with Trump last month. "Based on my observations of the triangular relations between China, the US and Latin America in the past decade, Washington's wariness of China's expanding presence is on a rapid rise," said Jiang Shixue, director of the Centre for Latin American Studies at Shanghai University. Dong Jingsheng, deputy director of Peking University's Latin America Research Centre, also noted Pompeo's remarks were in line with the growing antagonism and hostility towards China in Washington. While Beijing had insisted it did not intend to displace Washington's dominance around the globe, he said it was understandable the US felt unsettled by a rising China, which is now the largest trading partner and investor for many countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. "With China-US relations sinking to a historical low and tensions spiralling beyond trade rifts, it is natural to see the ratcheting up of 'China threat' narratives in the US and other regions," Dong said. Both Dong and Huang also noted that - like most official dialogue channels between China and the US - their formal consultation mechanism on Latin American affairs had been suspended under Trump. Huang said there was an acute sense of insecurity among political elites in Washington over China's rise, which had led to efforts to forge an alliance to confront Beijing amid America's perceived decline and withdrawal from its global leadership role under Trump's "America First" policy. "Unlike Trump, Pompeo represented the majority view of the Republican establishment and his hawkish and sometimes rather emotional remarks on China have to be taken seriously," he said. Experts also cautioned that China's investments and political ties with Latin American countries could be affected by Washington's diplomatic efforts targeting Beijing. "With the US entering another cycle of its presidential elections soon, it is very likely that both countries will continue to wrangle over a litany of bilateral and geopolitical issues, with bilateral ties in limbo for a long time," Huang said.

Trade deal nears, but tensions are rising over China's inroads into America's backyard

<ul class="summary-list"><li>21 people were killed after hail, high winds, and rain hit runners taking part in a mountain race in China.</li><li>The extreme weather struck a section of the 100-kilometer race at around 2 p.m. on Saturday.</li><li>"Come and save us, quick!" wrote one runner in a group message.</li></ul>Twenty-one people were killed after hail, rain, and high winds hit runners taking part in a cross-country mountain race in China, according to Chinese news agency Xinhua.The extreme weather struck a section of the 100-kilometer race held in the Yellow River Stone Forest near Baiyin city on Saturday afternoon.Among the dead were elite long-distance runners Jing and Huang Guanjun, says Xinhua. Liang had won numerous Chinese ultramarathons in recent years. Huang, who was deaf-mute, won the men's hearing-impaired marathon at the 2019 National Paralympic Games."In a short period of time, hailstones and ice rain suddenly fell in the local area, and there were strong winds. The temperature sharply dropped," said Baiyin city mayor Zhang Xuchen, <a href="https://news.yahoo.com/20-runners-dead-extreme-weather-015013647.html">per Yahoo.</a> The extreme weather hit the race at around 2 p.m., at which point the race was called off and a number of participants sent messages for help.Shortly after, organizers of the race dispatched a team that managed to rescue 18 of the 172 participants."As the event's organizer, we feel a deep sense of guilt and self-blame, express our deep mourning for the victims and deep condolences to their families and the injured runners," Zhang said.One survivor said: "My whole body was soaked through, including my shoes and socks. I couldn't stand up straight because of the wind, I was very worried I'd be blown over."The cold became more and more unbearable. While descending the mountain, I was already experiencing hypothermia symptoms."Screenshots of messages sent in the race participants' group chat were also published by Xinhua."A few people have already lost consciousness and are foaming at the mouth," wrote one person. "Come and save us, quick!"Another wrote: "The local organizers have an inescapable responsibility for the bad weather in the marathon! Current weather forecast accuracy rates are very high. What kind of emergency plans did they have?"An investigation into the cause of the incident has been set up by provincial authorities.

21 runners were killed by disastrous hail, wind, and rain that hit an ultramarathon race on a mountain in China

<div class="image-container float_right" style="width:356px"><div class="image"></div><a href="http://www.jingdaily.com/exception-home-grown-chinese-fashion-label-has-its-jason-wu-moment/24805/">via Jing Daily</a></div>This week, a photo of <keyword id="1334" type="COUNTRY" weightage="60" keywordseo="China">China</keyword>’s new first lady, Peng Liyuan <a href="http://www.nofashion.cn/a/1363946732951.html" target="_blank">stepping out of a jet on a state visit to Russia</a>, wearing a dark trench coat and toting a leather handbag, went viral on Sina Weibo, as users speculated on the brand of Peng’s bag.
Initially, Weibo users speculated that the bag was by Italian luxury brand <a href="http://www.jingdaily.com/tods-targets-china-for-store-openings-e-commerce/24783/" target="_blank">Tod’s</a>, but others were quick to identify the brand of the purse — as well as Peng’s jacket — as Guangzhou’s Exception (<a href="http://e.weibo.com/exceptiondemixmind?ref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F" target="_blank">Exception de Mixmind</a>).
After being confirmed by an Exception PR rep, the discovery immediately <a href="http://s.weibo.com/weibo/EXCEPTION%25E4%25BE%258B%25E5%25A4%2596?&amp;topnav=1&amp;topsug=1" target="_blank">set off a firestorm of interest in the brand</a> on Sina Weibo.
While it’s too early to say whether Peng Liyuan’s endorsement of Exception is the brand’s “<a href="http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/02/13/michelle-obama-wears-jason-wu-to-the-state-of-the-union-address.html" target="_blank">Jason Wu moment</a>,” it’s certainly a big moment for the company, which already has its fair share of high-profile admirers. As <a href="http://knowledge.ckgsb.edu.cn/2012/12/20/culture/homegrown-style-mao-jihongs-quest-for-the-chinese-luxury-market/" target="_blank">CKGSB Knowledge wrote</a> of the label last December:
Exception has built a significant presence of over 100 stores in the Eastern cities of Beijing and Shanghai as well as their home base, the growing metropolis of Guangzhou. Exception is touted as the Chinese <keyword id="6" type="ENTERTAINMENT" weightage="60" keywordseo="fashion">fashion</keyword> industry success story and has an estimated annual turnover of more than RMB 900 million a year. [Founder Mao Jihong] claims that he’s the biggest in the market. Industry observers such as fashion media mogul Hung Huang have put the brand at the top of their watchlist for homegrown brands with the potential to make it big abroad.
The more interesting long-term implications of Peng Liyuan’s domestic-label style are that <a href="http://www.jingdaily.com/home-grown-chinese-luxury-brands-from-acquisition-to-discovery/23697/" target="_blank">home-grown Chinese designers and brands</a> could ultimately play a part in the central government’s ongoing frugality campaign in Beijing. While it’s unlikely that high-ranking bureaucrats will <a href="http://www.jingdaily.com/automaker-red-flag-aims-at-chinas-red-collar-workers/19578/" target="_blank">ditch their Audis for Red Flags</a> anytime soon — and <a href="http://www.jingdaily.com/chinas-ad-ban-a-blessing-in-disguise-for-luxury-brands/23905/" target="_blank">we’ve already predicted</a> that luxury sales will be better in 2013 than in 2012 — the most visible government officials are <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/09/23/us-china-luxury-idUSBRE88M0F020120923" target="_blank">already leaving their Swiss watches and Hermès belts at home</a> for fear of netizen scrutiny.
Now, led by Peng Liyuan, we just might see the wives of top officials doing the same with their Birkin bags and Burberry trenches.
