By usual standards, recent Chinese economic data had been somewhat horrendous, continuing to point to a further deceleration in activity after the economy grew at the slowest pace since the GFC in the September quarter.
In the year to November, retail sales grew by 8.1%, the weakest increase since 2003. Industrial output didn’t fare much better, expanding by 5.4% from 12 months earlier, the slowest pace in three years.See the rest of the story at Business Insider

Brexit has been the key driver of UK economy, and lately it hasn’t been good.
Specifically, growth has been hit by weaker domestic demand, a trend that analysts at Morgan Stanley say looks set in for the long haul once the UK formally leaves the EU.See the rest of the story at Business Insider

Two weeks into the new season, NBC continued its Monday-night dominance as The Voice stabilized and Manifest held up best among the freshman series.
The Voice delivered 9.9 million total viewers and a 2.0 demo rating, adding a few eyeballs week-to-week while holding in the demo. Manifest (8.5 mil/1.8) slipped 18 percent from its strong launch, yet still dominated its time slot.
Over on CBS, Magnum P.I. (6.3 mil/0.9) in Week 2 dropped 22 and 33 percent with weaker sitcom lead-ins. Opening the Eye’s night, The Neighborhood debuted to 8.1 mil/1.3, down sharply from Big Bang‘s week-ago 12.9 mil/2.5 while improving on Kevin Can Wait‘s year-ago numbers (6.3 mil/1.2). Similarly, Happy Together (5.9 mil/1.0) fell well shy of Young Sheldon‘s placeholder numbers (10.6 mil/1.7) but was up from 9JKL‘s comparable outing. At 10 pm, Bull (6.6 mil/0.8) was down 10 percent and a tenth.
TVLine readers gave both The Neighborhood and Happy Together average grades of “C+”; 61 percent will keep watching the former, 68 percent the latter.

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – Senior White House advisor Jared Kushner began a visit to Mexico on Wednesday to try to fix rifts over trade, drugs and immigration but many in the host country were skeptical he could repair the damaged relationship.
Mexican diplomats and opposition leaders said that although Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, is seen in Mexico as dovish, tensions are running high.See the rest of the story at Business Insider

Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin’s remarks on the benefits of a weaker dollar in Davos, whether an off-the-cuff gaffe or part of a coordinated policy strategy, earned him an unusually blunt rebuttal from one of his predecessors in that role, Harvard economist Lawrence Summers.
In a Washigton Post op-ed, Summers argued that Mnuchin’s comments, which sent the dollar reeling despite attempts to walk them back, were a failure on the global stage in both “style and substance.”
“There are good economic reasons the last seven Treasury secretaries stayed with the strong dollar mantra,” he wrote.
“Yes, a weaker dollar means cheaper U.S. exports. But it also means higher priced imports and so less purchasing power for American incomes. It is much better to strengthen our fundamentals than to make ourselves poorer by putting our goods on sale as we push our currency down.”
Mnuchin told reporters in Davos that “obviously a weaker dollar is good for us as it relates to trade and opportunities.”
He did later add the currency’s short-term value is “not a concern of ours at all.” And his boss, President Donald Trump, all but walked back Mnuchin’s remarks when, likely prompted by one staffer or another, he echoed the long-running “strong dollar” mantra repeated by the US Treasury.
Still, financial markets took it as a statement of administration policy, taking the dollar down sharply for three sessions running.
Mnuchin’s tone ignores America’s 21st-century economy, which is based more on consumer spending and services than manufacturing and exports. It also conflicts with American interests insofar as they risk competitive devaluations elsewhere — witness European Central Bank head Mario Draghi’s thinly-veiled rebuttal of Mnuchin immediately after his remarks.
Summers continued: “Previous Treasury secretaries had little to say about the dollar. What they have said has been carefully scripted and oriented to long-term soundness. They insisted on being their administration’s sole spokesman on foreign exchange issue.”
Through both Republican and Democratic administrations, Treasury secretaries have been extremely cautious about their currency comments, arguing that, in the long-run, a strong dollar would be a reflection of America’s economic strength.
In contrast, Summers said, “Mnuchin spoke without a script, began with near-term commercial considerations, and was apparently contradicted by the Commerce secretary. None of this can be reassuring to those looking to judge the competence and credibility of the Trump administration.”

The protests in Iran appear to be dying down.
There were fewer reports of protests across the country and less of a police presence in Tehran on Tuesday night, according to the BBC.
On Wednesday, Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards were deployed to three provinces and a number of pro-government demonstrations were also held. The Guard’s leader, Maj. Gen. Mohammad Ali Jafari, claimed the “sedition” was defeated.
Just because the situation in Iran has momentarily calmed down, experts say the protests could happen again and have already hurt the ruling regime.
“I think we’ve entered a pressure cooker phase in Iran” in which we’re likely “to see more and more agitators like this,” Indiana University Professor Hussein Banai told Business Insider.
The protests, which swept across Iran last Thursday and have since left at least 21 people dead, began over the high price of eggs — but they quickly morphed into an anti-government movement, targeting Iran President Hassan Rouhani.
Several factors may have doomed the movement from the start and these protests are not as large as the unrest seen in 2009, according to The Soufan Group.
While there appeared to be extensive communication through social media, the protests had no clear leader nor any clear set of grievances, Banai said.

“Iran is [also] judicious in how it stops protests,” Suzanne Maloney, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, told Business Insider. Maloney highlight tactics such as surveillance, picking off leaders, or scaring and discouraging protesters from continuing.
Over the weekend, Iran blocked two smartphone apps, Instagram and Telegram, which protesters had used to coordinate plans and spread images of the demonstrations. Smartphones were a major factor in the current wave of protests spreading from city to city.
“My guess is that the Islamic Republic will ride it out,” Maloney said, but the protests will take a “toll on the legitimacy of the government as a whole,” internally and externally.
They also “undercut [Rouhani’s] credibility as a guy who can fix the economy” and will further stymie his attempts to reform and grow the economy in the future, she said.
The unrest may embolden the US to tighten sanctions and even frighten away international investors, Maloney said. These actions could end up making countries like Saudi Arabia look more attractive.
“Internally, Rouhani’s election was meant to be one last attempt by westward-looking technocrats to basically right the ship,” Banai said. “These protests exposed them on not having delivered.”
In addition, more lower-class and rural Iranians have taken part in these protests, as opposed to the more affluent protesters in 2009, indicating that unrest is even more widespread now.

Protests in Iran have always been about the corrupt and arbitrary structure of governmental power, Banai said. The current protests, though, are the first time that economic grievances rose up alongside grievances about governmental power.
“Even if this dies down, in a few days’ time or six months’ time, the regime has a problem, in that this discontent will simmer until they either take dramatic steps themselves or are forced to take them,” Ali Ansari, director of the Institute for Iranian Studies at St. Andrews University in Scotland, told the LA Times.
“Tell me what my future is,” a 25-year-old Tehran resident told the Times. “I am a burden on my family. I’m not able to earn enough money. Tell me what else to do.”

The report found that travellers coming to the UK spent a whopping £2.75 billion on their visit.
Overseas visitors travelling to Britain hit four million in July for the first time ever, with UK residents deciding to stay in the country instead of going abroad falling by two per cent.
Staycation holidays on the rise has meant more money in UK tourism by locals, as many choose to stay at home.
It is thought that the weaker pound has made it a much cheaper holiday for tourists abroad to choose the UK as well.
The breakdown of tourists showed that 15.1 million were from Europe, the highest proportion with a four per cent increase.
However travellers from North America, whilst just 2.9 million, increased by 21 per cent since last year, with a surge of popularity.
Patricia Yates, from VisitBritain told BBC this could be due to the “improvement in airline capacity” especially between the UK and North America.
With budget airlines such as WOW air and Norwegian Air continuing to open up cheap flights between the UK and Canada, it shows how much easier and more affordable it can be for overseas travellers to choose the UK.
Mike Saul, Head of Hospitality & Leisure at Barclays, commented on the results: “The weakness in sterling continues to swell the number of overseas visitors to our shores with 4 million arriving in July alone, an increase of 6 per cent on last year.
“Overseas visitors have now spent almost £24 billion on trips to the UK over the past 12 months.
“In an increasingly competitive global travel market place, these figures are a boost to the UK tourism industry.”
The UK holiday boom has also helped Britain have the strongest retail spending in nearly two years.
Accountancy firm BDO reported the findings after sales values dropped 0.6 per cent in July, before improving in August.
Like-for-like sales values then rose in the UK by two percent, the strongest in four years.
BDO also reported that with more foreign tourists choosing the UK, it means stronger retail spending to improve the economy.
Whilst the end of the holiday season could be a tougher time for the UK tourism industry, it is great news post-Brexit for the economy.

The more mountainous parts of Italy have previously offered inspiration to those hard-working marketeers responsible for naming new models, but it’s been a while since the muse struck. The Ford Cortina and the Triumph Dolomite, however, have been joined by a new Italian in the shape of the Alfa Romeo Stelvio, an SUV that’s named after Italy’s highest and most famous Alpine pass. We finally got to find out how appropriate the association is. READ MORE ››

To support his argument, Janusz Korwin-Mikke, a right-wing politician who represents the remote region of Silesia, claimed that there are no women among the world’s top chess players. Women according to him are also much weaker when it comes to physics.
“Of course women must earn less than men because they are weaker, they are smaller and they are less intelligent, they must earn less, that‘s all,” stated the 74-year-old MEP.
Other members of the chamber immediately condemned his statements, with Spanish politician Iratxe Garcia-Perez wondering if that meant she “shouldn’t have the right to be here as a member of parliament.”
MEP Korwin-Mikke’s comments in #EPlenary are not only offensive to women, they betray the values of the entire EU.
No home for #misogyny.
— Roberta Metsola MEP (@RobertaMetsola) 2 марта 2017 г.
“And I know that it hurts you and bothers you that today women can sit in the House to represent citizens with the same rights as you. I am here to defend all European women from men like you,” she added.
MEP for Malta Roberta Metsola criticized the remark as not only offensive to women, but “betraying the values of the entire EU.” Another Malta MEP, Miriam Dalli, described Korwin-Mikke’s comments as “detrimental to society as a whole.”
Janusz Korwin-Mikke, you shouldn’t receive any wage. People like you are a shame for all men in the world.
— Elio De Falco (@ElioDeFalco) March 2, 2017
#KorwinMikke how many people beats you in chess? What was your own position in the Olympic Games? mmm, maybe you should earn less 🙂
— Crítica Constructiva (@HazaDahid) March 2, 2017
#KorwinMikke should be fired and kicked out of the European Parliament for his extreme hate against women.What a loser.

European bureaucrats take the issue of gender equality very seriously, and seeks to close the remaining gender inequality gaps. The goal, however, is quite far away, and if current rates are a pointer, true gender equality might only be achieved in 70 years, according to the EU’s Commissioner for Justice, Consumers and Gender Equality Vera Jourova. Equal sharing of “household tasks,” however, is expected to be achieved in 40 years from now.
Korwin-Mikke’s misogynist remarks prompted a swift investigation by the European Parliament which could result in sanctions such as a reprimand, penalty or a temporary suspension. The Polish MEP is well known for his sexist views, as he previously denied women the right to vote, claiming they “want to be led by men.”
It is not the first time Korwin-Mikke has sparked outrage in the EP chamber with his radical and controversial remarks. In July 2015, he was suspended from parliament after giving a Nazi salute and saying “ein volk, ein Reich, ein ticket,” while mocking the idea to produce a uniform EU transport ticket.
Korwin-Mikke was also harshly criticized by his colleagues and ultimately suspended for 10 days from parliamentary activities and fined €3,062 ($ 3200) after giving a speech on migrants, describing them as “human garbage,” unwilling to work and only interested in receiving welfare.
