Virgil: A Lesson from Brazil on What Could Happen if We Lose the Trade War with China
There’s been so much going on in recent weeks that it’s hard to remember that the biggest story in the world is the rapid rise of China. Yes, it’s fascinating to see what’s happening with the Trump-Kim Summit in Singapore, or at the Trump vs. Trudeau Smackdown in Canada, or to peek into the the bottomless Swampathon of Washington, DC. Yet still, while it’s not always atop the headlines, the most consequential story of the age is the rise and rise of the People’s Republic.

Broadcom-Qualcomm: What’s the fallout of epic takeover battle?
Just two weeks ago, Broadcom Chief Executive Hock Tan had Qualcomm hooked.He was poised to reel in his biggest prize in a long string of trophy acquisitions of technology companies. In early voting, a significant number of Qualcomm shareholders reportedly cast ballots supporting Tan’s candidates for Qualcomm board of directors, which would pave the way for a hostile takeover.Then in an instant, Qualcomm escaped – thanks to a last-minute rescue by the Trump administration. Last Monday, the President blocked the $117 billion buyout, deeming it a potential threat to national security.The move brings to an end a five-month saga for control of Qualcomm, a cellular giant and San Diego’s flagship technology company with 13,000 local employees.Momentum in this epic fight seemed to shift daily.
