Washington faces the temptation to broker new tie-ups to mitigate the blacklisting of telco Huawei. While Beijing-bashing could indeed inspire dealmaking, government matchmaking is not a good look, writes @jennifersaba. https://bit.ly/2sUYjMV
How bad will the economic damage from the new coronavirus be? It depends heavily on chance, writes @rob_cyran. https://bit.ly/2TXI24P
