DEALS
A contrasting picture is reflected in recent studies of US-China investment flows. Cross-border foreign direct investment and venture capital fell to $13 billion in the first half of 2019, the lowest level since 2014 as the impact of the trade war resonated. But U.S. investment in China gained slightly to $6.8 billion in the first six months of this year. 

Matrix-backed Chinese e-commerce platform Plum raises $20 million in Series B+. 

IDG Capital has led a $67 million Series C for HiFiBio Therapeutics, which operates in the U.S., France and China, and is developing cancer treatment therapies. The startup raised a $37.5 million Series B in 2018 from investors including Sequoia China and Lyfe Capital, which also participated in the latest round.

VIEWPOINT
Is Huawei a security threat? 7 Experts Weigh In. 
Read Verge 

rump's trade war is not so easy to win after all, write George Koo in Asia Times. Trump is getting visibly frustrated that China is no longer acting like the patsy he had been expecting. But it's probably not his fault that he thought negotiating with China was going to be a piece of cake.
