While the #Biden administration's EO on #ChinaInvestments isn't surprising, its full implications are still a mystery. How will the @USTreasury implement the order? Will the initially narrow restrictions expand? How will China react to what they see as "economic coercion"?
EGA CEO @DMLehr talked to @Bloomberg in May saying that she expects the Biden administration to place outbound investment restrictions regarding US-China relations. Fast forward to August and that's exactly what happened. bloomberg.com/news/videos/20…

The illicit #antiquities trade is not a victimless crime – it destroys communities, economies, national security, and can help fund some of the world's most dangerous actors. Stronger provenance research units and legal ramifications can help #CombatLooting.

Egypt is home to a wealth of #CulturalHeritage sites, and experts are continuing to identify new discoveries. My @Edelman_EGA colleague Yousra Abdelhameed and I spoke with my dear friend and the face of Egyptian #archaeology, Dr. Zahi Hawass, to discuss his latest finds in Egypt.

International conflicts are hot spots for bad actors seeking to exploit #CulturalHeritage for monetary gain or to erase a nation's identity. In Ukraine, nearly 1,700 instances of likely damage to museums, archives, and libraries have been reported.

As long as there have been tombs, there have been tomb raiders. While global conflicts continue to devastate communities across the world, our shared history is at a heightened risk of being looted and sold into the black market by bad actors taking advantage of instability.

As China's economy slows, Chinese President Xi Jinping has the opportunity to build stronger relations with the West to strengthen their markets. I joined @BloombergTV's @DavidWestin to discuss US-China engagement during "Wall Street Week." Take a look: buff.ly/45rj4gr

#Biodiversity loss is a severe threat that will result in significant consequences for human health and prosperity if not addressed. On #WorldBiodiversityDay, global leaders should recognize their important role in financing responses to #biodiversityloss.

China’s economy is bouncing back, but there’s still much uncertainty around its longer-term growth, its regulatory policies over data and tech, and the impact of growing tensions with the United States.

It was a pleasure to exchange views about these issues over lunch with members of the CF40, which includes some of China’s finest economists and thought leaders. I look forward to continuing the conversation over the months and years ahead.
