President Biden’s face-to-face meeting with China’s Xi Jinping today marks the most significant talks between the leaders of the two nations since Nixon’s China visit, according to author and attorney Dennis Unkovic. However, Unkovic believes meaningful change post-summit will be limited to the military sectors. Unkovic notes that unlike during Nixon’s time, China now operates on an equal playing field and has greater demands. However, he thinks “Biden either can’t or won’t deliver” on core Chinese interests. He highlights the military communication breakdown following House Speaker Pelosi’s Taiwan visit against Xi’s wishes. Unkovic says reopening direct lines between U.S. and Chinese military officials is crucial in case crises emerge. “If […]

As 2024 comes upon investors faster with every day, experts are now believing the Fed may reach its inflation mandates and promote GDP growth in the new year with a recession. Yardeni Research President Ed Yardeni explains the economy has been more resilient than even he expected, reconsidering his past recession calls. “It’s almost contrary to agree with the Fed, and I’ve been a contrarian saying the Fed may actually get it right.
