US’ 90-day temporary general license does not make much sense to Huawei: Ren Zhengfei

The 90-day temporary general license created by the US does not make much sense to Huawei.

That’s according to company founder and CEO Ren Zhengfei.

He said what the US government does is not something we can control, and this is not a matter of American companies.

He added that Huawei can also make the same chips, which have provided half of its supply.

But he said the company will not exclude US chips. (People's Daily app)

Trump says disagrees with ruling backing subpoena seeking his financial records

US President Donald Trump said Monday that he disagrees with a court ruling that backs a congressional subpoena seeking his financial records from an accounting firm.

"Well, we disagree with that ruling. It's crazy because if you look at it, this never happened to any other president," Trump told reporters.

The remarks came shortly after US District Judge Amit Mehta ruled that Mazars USA must comply with the House Oversight and Reform Committee's subpoena for eight years of Trump's financial records, a decision that the president called "wrong".

"As far as the financials are concerned, we think it's totally the wrong decision by obviously an Obama-appointed judge," Trump said, referring to Mehta's appointment by former President Barack Obama. (AP)

China's central bank resumes cash injection

China's central bank on Tuesday resumed open market operations to inject liquidity into the money market after suspension for five consecutive trading days.

The People's Bank of China (PBOC) conducted 80 billion yuan (about $11.6 billion) of seven-day reverse repos at an interest rate of 2.55 percent.

No reverse repo is due on Tuesday.

A reverse repo is a process by which the central bank purchases securities from commercial banks through bidding, with an agreement to sell them back in the future.

China will keep its prudent monetary policy "neither too tight nor too loose" while maintaining market liquidity at a reasonably ample level in 2019. (Xinhua)

Record number of graduates face tough job market entry

The number of college graduates in China is projected to reach a record high this year.

That would turn an already tough job market into a pressure cooker and would intensify the scramble for talent nationwide.

To many graduates, mega cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou are less attractive because of their high cost of living and greater peer pressure in the job market.

A recent report by the Beijing Municipal Education Commission said more than 231,000 college students graduated in the capital last year, but over a third of employed graduates chose to work outside the capital. (China Daily)
