"The Dollar Is Out Of Stock Everywhere": Hong Kong Money Exchangers Turn Away Clients Amid Run On US Dollars
Even before protests over a controversial extradition bill sparked the tumultuous pro-democracy movement that swept across Hong Kong last year, the notion that the city's freedoms were under threat, and that China would soon move to curtail them, had been gestating since the 2014 Umbrella Movement. Last Spring, before the movement began in earnest, Kyle Bass published a paper entitled "the Quiet Panic" about how Hong Kong was a ticking time bomb. A few months later, it exploded.
Over the past 16 months, expats haven't been the only ones fleeing Hong Kong. Virtually everyone who can afford to move has at least considered the possibility of selling their once extremely valuable Hong Kong real estate and fleeing elsewhere, perhaps to New Zealand, or Australia, or Malaysia - or Taiwan, which is currently drawing up plans to welcome expats.
As we reported on Friday, as more prepare to move before China tightens its grip, Sing Tao, Hong Kong's second-largest Chinese-language newspaper observed that Hong Kong residents have been exchanging more of their HKD holdings into foreign currencies at banks and money exchange counters on Thursday.
It got so bad that according to a follow up report from the SCMP on Saturday, the rush for US dollars forced money exchangers in Hong Kong to turn away hundreds of customers after running out of the currency amid fears the United States could end the city’s preferential trading status.
According to money exchange store owners, demand for the US currency surged this week after China’s legislature endorsed a resolution for its top legislative body to craft a tailor-made national security law for Hong Kong which would criminalize acts and activities of secession, subversion, terrorism and foreign interference.
In kneejerk response, HK residents - fearing the Hong Kong dollar could be unpegged from its US counterpart - rushed to convert their local currency into something they view as more stable: the US dollar.
Long lines promptly formed at money changers in a number of Kowloon districts including Tsim Sha Tsui and Sham Shui Po on Friday, as residents waited for shop operators to replenish their US dollar supply. Eric Wong Wai-lam, who runs Rich Bird Currency Exchange in Sham Shui Po, was forced to turn away 600 customers who wanted to convert their local banknotes to the US currency.

Pompeo: China Is Intent Upon The Destruction Of Western Ideas, Western Democracies, And Western Values
Looking at the Yuan, Bloomberg's macro commentators Mark Cranfield correctly writes that "any downside extension for USD/CNH after President Trump left the phase one trade deal untouched will be short lived. There is enough uncertainty over the U.S.-China relationship to maintain an underlying bid for the dollar."
Cranfield is right, if for another reason: while Trump may have left the Phase 1 trade deal in place for now, at this point this is purely theater, for the simple reason that China is woefully behind on its signed contractual commitments to import a set quantity of US agircultural, energy, and manufacturing exports.
As Goldman writes over the weekend, "there is a clear risk—if not a likelihood—that US exports to China will fall short of the Phase 1 deal." So far, the Administration appears to be taking a wait-and-see approach to this and could continue to do so for a while, since the export targets were intended to be met over a 1-2 year timeframe, and the deal was only signed four months ago. But if Trump decides that China has not met its commitments under the Phase 1 trade deal - which it clearly hasn't - he would take the initial step of taking the tariff rate on Tranche 4A back to 15%, according to Goldman.

"We're All Suspects Now": A Look Inside The NSA's New "Contact Chaining" Tool
New book explores NSA’s “contact chaining” tool
What happened:
We all know Edward Snowden revealed that the NSA collects and stores massive databases of information on Americans’ phone call and text metadata.
But then what? Most people think it sits on ice until and unless an alphabet agency like the FBI, CIA, or DHS wants to dig through it.
In reality, it is processed into a detailed map of your social contacts, constantly updating with new data.
Everytime you make a phone call or send a text, a new piece of data enters the government’s hands, and they update the map of your social contacts.
A new book explores the “contact chaining” tool, which is an essential second piece of the collection and storage of mass metadata.
What this means:
This tool allows the NSA to play “six degrees of separation” to connect you to almost anyone.
They call it “contact chaining,” as in, determining who you are linked to. They know better than us who is in our inner circle, who are our casual contacts, and who is a friend of a friend.
This is so much broader than the government seeing when you sent a text. They can map out your entire social life.
And as coronavirus “contact tracing” comes into effect, it would be wise to remember just how dangerous it is for the government to have such detailed information on all Americans.
Everyone is being investigated, before they are ever suspected of committing a crime. We’re all suspects now.
