China exports to US smash records, Despite high tariffs against Chinese made products Kwabena Ofori Osei 40 Views • 2 years ago

Despite high tariffs against Chinese-built products, the United States imported record volumes of manufactured goods from China in July.

Policymakers in the United States, along with governments in friendly countries and those in North America, expected that after years of high tariffs and sanctions, that supply chain managers would be moving supply chains out of China, and bring them home.

The opposite happened, and imports from China are not merely larger than ever, but are accelerating relative to countries most friendly to the United States.

'We the People' - The Three Most Misunderstood Words In U.S. History || TEDxTalk Kwabena Ofori Osei 28 Views • 2 years ago

The son of an American woman of Dutch heritage and a Navajo man, Mark Charles offers a unique perspective on three of the most misinterpreted words in American History. Written in the Papal Bulls of the 15th Century, embedded in our founding documents in the 18th Century, codified as legal precedent in the 19th Century and referenced by the Supreme Court in the 20th and 21st Centuries, the Doctrine of Discovery has been used throughout the history of the United States to keep "We the People" from including all the people. Mark Charles is a dynamic and thought-provoking public speaker, writer, and consultant. The son of an American woman (of Dutch heritage) and a Navajo man, he speaks with insight into the complexities of American history regarding race, culture, and faith in order to help forge a path of healing and conciliation for the nation. Mark serves as the Washington DC correspondent and regular columnist for Native News Online and is the author of the popular blog "Reflections from the Hogan." Mark is a founding partner of a national conference for Native students called “Would Jesus Eat Frybread?” Mark’s forthcoming book on the Doctrine of Discovery entitled Truth be Told is being published by InterVarsity Press and will be available in 2019. Mark is active on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram under the username: wirelesshogan. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
