From the Economic Policy institute he says there is little there will be little control over how corporations use the money from the financial package passed by the Senate Earlier this week. Certainly large is the largest spending bill thats ever been passed by the u. S. Senate and we expect to be to be passed by the house and signed by the president tomorrow. But is just a down payment Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell said this is just a relief bill its not even a stimulus so there is much more thats going to remain to be done to. Repair the damage thats going to be done to the economy about half of the money will go to workers either directly or indirectly including through loans to Small Businesses that will it can be used only to retain workers and socalled work sharing arrangements where workers would be furloughed and they kept them on the payroll they get their wages thats a very good measure but there is about 500000000000. 00 is going to go to bail out to corporations and there are very few controls very we controls on a spending and it could just go to boost stock prices or raise executive compensation so about a quarter of the package i think is.

S. With u. S. President trump himself calling the coronavirus the chinese virus and with american politicians calling it the war han virus which very much infuriated china and china in turn as you mention many chinese diplomats taking to twitter in particular to blame the u. S. Military for perhaps agreeing kovan 1000. 00 to china at the end of last year so we did see at some point really it seems like the u. S. And china had hit rock bottom in terms of the diplomatic relationship so according to the Trump Administration it was president xi who sought out this form cole and he was calling on trying to help improve ties between the 2 countries president xi jinping also said that Many Chinese Companies were doing what they can to help the u. S. By sending medical supplies at a much needed and also interesting way president xi jinping cold on President Trump to help to protect chinese citizens and students who are in the u. S.
