White House Trade Adviser Says It's 'Critical' for Americans Not to Use Apps Made in China

 

The Trump administration's plans for targeting apps made in China go beyond TikTok and WeChat, White House trade adviser Peter Navarro said on Monday.

 

Navarro appeared on Fox Business's Mornings With Maria to discuss the expected sale of TikTok by Chinese technology company ByteDance and the concerns that he said administration officials have about other apps made in China.

 

"It's critical that this country not use apps that are made in China or that can take our data and go to servers in China, because that data will be used to surveil, monitor and track you. It will be used to steal your passwords, it will be used in some cases to try to blackmail or extort you," Navarro said.

 

"That's really the policy position underlying why we have gone after TikTok and WeChat—and there will be others," Navarro added. China "is basically going out around the world trying to acquire technology and influence," a strategy that Navarro said President Donald Trump "is not going to put up with."

India and China Face Off Again at Border as Troops Move In

 

After months of efforts to defuse tensions, soldiers rushed to shout in each others’ faces again. Though the confrontation wasn’t bloody, where it happened was significant.

 

NEW DELHI — Indian and Chinese troops have locked horns again along their disputed border, Indian officials said Monday, in a sign that the deadly tensions that erupted in June between the world’s two most populous countries are not going away.

 

In a terse and somewhat cryptic statement, India’s defense ministry said the Chinese Army had “violated the previous consensus” and “carried out provocative military movements” near Pangong Tso Lake, in the remote Ladakh region.

 

Indian Army officers and security analysts said Chinese troops landed a few days ago on the southern side of the lake, which traditionally has been considered Indian territory — a move the Indians saw as the latest example of Chinese aggression in a long string of provocations.

There’s big demand among the high net worth for Virgin Galactic spaceflights, Cowen survey shows

 

A Cowen survey found that more than a third of high net worth individuals would be interested in paying for a Virgin Galactic flight, giving a sense of the demand for the company’s space tourism service once it begins flying customers next year.

 

“Cowen’s proprietary survey highlights a high level of interest among high-net-worth individuals to fly to space at a ticket price of $250k or above,” analyst Oliver Chen said in a note to investors on Monday.

 

The firm estimated that Virgin Galactic’s suborbital flights have a total addressable market of about 2.4 million people, among individuals with a net worth of more than $5 million. Of those individuals, Cowen’s survey found that about 39% are interested in paying at least $250,000 for a ticket.
