    The wind! The wind! Where is that wind? 大风day yet… is it all that bad?
    Workouts in, two parts: -60 pull ups push ups n squats, holding 5kg plates or weights-then a bike ride from HuiXinXiJieNanKou to Shuangjing about one hour-30 more pull ups with the weight vest, push ups and squats
    Got a new video recorded on the vlog, should have that up soon.
    Need to finish up Harbin!
    Markets bouncing, GOLD UP!
    And I think Astrill is dead.

    Rally! Then a fall! This is a traders’ market for sure!
    A pause on tariffs! Ninety days of relief puts us into July: another bad time for the market.
    China should import more! The point seems to be that China has built a walled-off country within which it EXPORTS to the world, but doesn’t really bring anything in, ie IMPORTS, like the US does. Is this protectionist or just a smart move? Or is it Mao all over again?https://www.cfr.org/blog/china-should-import-more (from 2018)
    Apparently global trade has been slowing for a long time.https://www.cfr.org/blog/ecb-slowdown-global-trade (from 2016)
    If they need to import more, then is it a good time to open a business here? What are the downsides? What are the upsides?
    It looked as though agricultural stocks were doing well in China for a bit, bit that seems to have dissipated. Eg, 巴比食品 (605338). Beer stocks were also doing well, same with EVs or their parts manufacturers: 科林科技 (603626)， 天顺股份 (002800), and then a baby formula company I’ve traded before 贝因美 （002570）.
    Curious: why doesn’t Beijing have more trees, etc.? Security cameras.
