Laid off workers need good care as govt cuts overcapacity

Earlier this year, the Chinese government announced a major redundancy plan targeting the coal and steel sectors, which are notably floundering amid overcapacity woes.

Powerful women: Dump your scumbag men

One good thing about this presidential election season in the US is that it keeps challenging the limits of our imagination. Just when you think it has gotten as nasty as possible, it always surprises you with a new low until you realize that it is set on a bottomless downward spiral. But no matter how the plots are unfolding, the drama in the political arena doesn't stray too far from sex, lies and videotape. And in the latest chapter Donald Trump provided a lot of each ingredient.

Somehow, the often hardly credible plot of House of Cards has met its non-fiction match in the latest Clinton-Trump duel. Corruption, perversion of justice, sexual harassment and hardly a word about policy. That is the order of the day.

In fact, the bold moves by Duterte can be an inspiration for other countries in the Asia-Pacific region, showing they all can find a better way of getting along with a rising China, rather than relying on Washington to confront Beijing.
