The Cost Of Cutting Ties With China
On Monday, December 6th the United States announced no government official would attend the Winter Olympics in Beijing, citing China’s human rights violations against the Uighur Muslims as the main concern. Just days later, China called this a smear campaign as Australia, Canada, and the UK announced they too would join this diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Olympics. Charles Payne, Host of Making Money With Charles Payne on Fox Business Network joins to discuss how the U.S. diplomatic boycott has spurred China to test its influence over corporate America, why it is important the Biden administration take a stance against China, and what economic repercussions there could be for these actions.
Omicron keeps spreading. The variant is now confirmed in more than 20 states and 60 countries and it is believed to be more contagious than past strands. But there is reason for optimism. Early research suggests it is less severe than the Delta variant and Pfizer believes a booster shot of its vaccine will offer protection. Dr. Marty Makary, Professor at Johns Hopkins University and the author of “The Price We Pay”, discusses why it’s possible there could be an upside to Omicron spreading so easily and he weighs in on the debate over mask and vaccine mandates.
