The Epoch Times: ANALYSIS: Is London Hiding a Regional UK Recession?
Amid concerns of a UK recession, economic output estimates suggest that some British regions may be in a recession. London's finance-driven economy may be masking this imbalance, potentially leading to future stagnation or decline for the whole UK. While GDP is the commonly used metric, it does not tell the full story of an economy. Regional decline and sectoral shifts in employment could be indicative of "chronic stagnation." London's dominance and regional imbalances in the UK require a focus on STEM, transport, and innovation, as well as more localized decision-making and long-term investment.

Liberty Nation: Will Biden’s Trade Protectionism Backfire?
President Joe Biden, despite deriding "Mega MAGA Republicans," has embraced trade protectionism, similar to former President Donald Trump's policies. China's recent announcement of export controls on rare earth metals threatens the left's transition to sustainability. The US may struggle to achieve its green goals due to China's control over rare earth metals and the dependence on these metals for manufacturing green technologies.
Biden's trade protectionism measures, including subsidies for US businesses and the push for more domestic manufacturing, have sparked retaliation threats from France and Germany, who accuse the US of unfair trade competition. However, these actions echo what these nations have done for years. The unintended consequence of US trade protectionism is that allies and adversaries may turn to China for trade opportunities. China's influence on the world stage, especially in regards to rare earth metals, may pose challenges for countries striving to go green.
