Station. This is All Things Considered from n.p.r. News I'm Michel Martin is away the u.s. China trade deal may be approaching its final leg this past week u.s. Trade officials were in Beijing and Chinese delegation is headed to Washington to continue talks once a President Trump tweeted earlier today that quote the trade deal with China continues but too slowly as they attempt to renegotiate no exclamation point what issues are on the table and off the table I spoke about this with James Greene he's the former minister counselor for trade affairs at the u.s. Embassy in Beijing he began by unpacking tramp's tariff tweet Well I think one of the main sticking points in getting a final agreement will be which Turks will remain There's tariffs on $250000000000.00 worth of Chinese exports the United States and I think for some inside the administration they want to keep some tariffs on some amount of those trades exports and so I think the negotiations are probably getting around that issue what number should that be should be $50000000000.00 worth less or more and what tariff level should that be so I think this is going to be something that's a sticking point from the Chinese point of view they would like all tariffs to go away as a signal that u.s. China relations are back on track one issue that I've been paying attention to is cyber theft and whether that is or is not on the table according to The Financial Times it's off it's not expected that the u.s. Will accept it will reach an agreement with President Xi and his administration what's your understanding on it do you believe that cyber theft this lingering issue is going to have a breakthrough in these talks I don't think the administration went in to these trade talks with the expectation that cyber theft would be addressed through these trials other than highlighting it and telling companies they should be aware and giving a warning to the Chinese government of this something pay attention to I don't think there was an expectation that these terms would somehow make this issue go. I know that one thing that American technology companies have really wanted is to be allowed to bring the data they're collecting in China over to the u.s. For artificial intelligence data mining purposes and that's the thing they're going to be able to achieve in this round this area of data transfers is critical for how u.s. Companies operate globally and so yes I suspect this is an area that the 2 sides are looking at very closely and I know from my experience for the past 5 years the arms abuse or issues we've brought to the Chinese attention to say you know if you want your companies to be global companies then to flow across borders so I think this is something besides both sides are looking at very closely I want to switch gears for a moment to a human rights crisis in China according to u.s. Officials I'm talking about waiters Muslims I think minorities Randall Shriver who leads the Asia policy at the u.s. Defense Department he says that more than a 1000000 are in concentration camps his words China claims their reaction cation camps for terrorists is it peculiar or a given that this crisis is not part of the conversation that's off the table Well I think there's been any trade negotiations there is the background music that is playing and that sets some of the stage for what happens at the negotiation table the discussions now is trying to include conflict over the South China Sea and certainly Chinese treatment of We years and change on is one of those things that sets that sets the mood music but in terms of actually changing the negotiating text I don't think that's likely to enter into the conversation China's not just an economic issue it's political a way that Trump is signaling to his base that Granted it's not as strong of immigration but it's somewhere in the mix from what we know about what's shaping up doesn't look like the Trump administration is getting Americans a good deal here well I think you're right to point to it Mr Asians trying to focus says one of the specific political areas they've spent time on and particularly on the trade front I think whether or not this is. A good agreement for the United States will depend on some of the details trade agreements in the end are very much about the details and so well have to see what they what they come up with I think the longer term challenge for the u.s. And Italy and China is you know how we can craft a policy that advances u.s. Interests hopefully in concert with friends and allies and so that's a really I think the administration has come short on dealing with countries like China and trying to circle the wagons with the European Union and Japan and Australia and I know us your master White House are trying to bring all those folks on board because that's really what moves China is to unified front dealing with problems and so for instance Russian I think the jury's still out but I think that it's you know that's James Green senior research fellow at the initiative for us China dialogue on global issues at Georgetown University and former minister counselor for trade affairs at the u.s. Embassy in Beijing thank you thank you and now to another story we'll hear more about this week it starts with a number $90000000000.00 That's about how much is expected to be worth when it goes public that despite the fact the company has never actually turned a profit it's made plenty of money but never more than it spent its move to go public and consolidate power comes at a time when Americans are questioning the power of Silicon Valley and leading politicians are calling for the breakout of tech giants New York Times opinion columnist Farhad Manjoo recently called that a moral stain on Silicon Valley he admitted his once bright eyed take on the startup has dimmed dramatically he's here to talk with us about why and he joins us from Mountain View California welcome Hi Good to be here you say you used to be a naive baby tech pundit who bought into the uber hype a fanboy of sorts of these are your words but this past week in your column you lamented what's become of Hooper what exactly are you limiting Yeah I mean I once thought that Newburgh could be. A win for everyone you know we used to in cities we used to sort of have these taxi cartels which limited supply and didn't really offer a great service and seemed like a better version of the taxi and it also kind of offered these environmental promises we'd have you know people using cars more efficiently like promise that it could get as you know more people in cars get fewer cars on the road and also in promise that it could give all of its drivers a living and even a better than living wage and those promises really haven't materialized Instead we have this company that had this really reckless history and that is you know with the i.p.o. Rewarding many of the people who pushed it's kind of lawlessness and it's recklessness until now and so the law meant is that it's not a beacon for environmentalism it's not a beacon for and greater labor standards or labor protections by something else yeah I mean it is turned into this dystopian vision of Tech where you know a few people prosper and everyone else gets kind of poverty wages users of the service get pretty good service but. Kind of at the cost of all of these drivers getting very little from the service of getting very little equity. I think it is a patrol of what Silicon Valley you know said that it stood for which is creating new ideas that are good for the world at large not just you know a few 100 people on the west coast many would herald as a great American success story a testament to what capitalism can create right jobs for millions of people in the u.s. And around the world and its i.p.o. Will make a handful of people millionaires and even billionaires Isn't that a good thing. I mean it's perhaps better than not having it but I don't think it's fundamentally her sort of objective Lee a good thing what would be better is if was a smaller and less valuable company but that. Less value was were more equitably distributed is your concern about how has operated or is it also how the media how journalists in business and technology have covered growth you know it was not a secret in earlier years that was running circles around regulators flouting laws for example not having insurance to cover the rights refusing to pay livery taxes these were not secrets and even as they were happening there was still a celebration of this you know this started out yeah I mean I think that criticism of the press kind of applies. To the case and it also applies to Facebook and Google and Amazon and even Apple one of the things that we've learned over the past you know 2 or 3 years is that you know for the proceeding decade we kind of we in the press and just the media and society generally gave tech companies a pass because they were new and they were celebrated and they were they seemed to be giving us kind of the best of the future and America. You know building the American dream and. You know in some cases they were and I value and appreciate many of their services. But I think that they were kind of effect on the world wasn't you know looked at skeptically enough when you look meant where the company is do you feel there are steps that can be taken to bring it back to the loftier values that you know you 1st believed were true yeah I think there are steps but I don't think they're kind of what to do I think they're what regulators and lawmakers and through society should do I mean sort of a very easy step would be to. You know reexamine this independent contractor status of their drivers and see if there's some way to have them be employees or gain some money in the company. That would be one way so basically you're saying as we're about to who are the math a figure of possibly $100000000000.00 and worth. Regulators pay attention and protect the drivers in the little people in the game and I think actually you know going public. We are seeing strikes we are seeing protests from. Presidential candidates regulators are paying more attention to this industry and its effects on the world. Going to the end of the story. I think it's you know maybe the beginning of a new. Restrictive you know. A company that was Farhad Manjoo New York Times tech columnist thanks for coming on it's been great talking with you. Considered from n.p.r. News.

When it comes to taking care of yourself there is no shortage of advice especially if you're a woman drink green juice go to spend class organize your house really organize it at work lean in not too far and feel like too much twin sister is Emily and Emilio agree they've written a new book that asks us all to step back and really look at how women are pushed to the breaking point it's called burnout the secret to unlocking the stress cycle the sisters told us why they decided to write this book it was after Emilia landed in the hospital twice I was in doctoral school getting my doctor to Musical Arts in conducting I was also working 2 part time jobs and I am the mother of 3 people who were teenagers at the time and I was commuting 65 miles each way and the stresses of my life were overwhelming and I was totally in denial about how hard I was working and how much challenge I was actually having I had no idea how much my body was suffering so it took me totally by surprise when the middle of one night I woke up in such pain that I had my husband drive me to the emergency room and I was in the hospital for 4 days and they didn't come up with a diagnosis they just said well it's stress you just need to relax and that is not an evidence based strategy for coping with stress it turns out so I spend about the next year I call them only of course who brings me a big stack of books because this is the way she shows her affection is peer reviewed science and yet so is very supportive and convenient to have a twin sister who has a Ph d. In public health so in the next year I started working on doing the actual things that the science says will combat burnout it was too late and a year later ended up back in the hospital and they removed my appendix which had been inflamed inflammation is a result of extreme stress so you know Emily when your sister is in and out of the hospital and you're bringing her books you talk. About teaching her about emotions can you just give an example of what you mean by that like what is the conversation you had with your sister well it mostly happened like your emotions are biological events that happen in your body it's physiological real emotions are not just in your head they are all over your body in your chemistry so she's reading these books and she sees the word rage on the page and spontaneously burst into sobs and she calls me on the phone and it's like your book here says that feelings are physical I was like You're a coral conductor who expresses a motion through your body you practice yoga and she still sort of had not put it together that just because you've dealt with the stress ors that doesn't mean that you've dealt with the physical event of the stress and your body wide of the lessons in your book is about completing the stress cycle I love this analogy of yours this idea of a lie and explain the concept of completing the stress cycle through the lion family so this is the foundation of it all our physiological stress response is very well designed to help us survive short term acute stress or is like being chased by a lion when you see the lion you your body floods with adrenalin and cortisol and glycogen all in preparation to help you engage in a behavior to help save your life in this case it's going to be running so here comes the lie and you start to run there's only 2 possible outcomes either you get eaten by the lion in which case none of the rest of this matters or you manage to make it all the way back to your village and somebody sees you running it opens the door and waves you in you both stand with your shoulder against the door until the lion finally gives up and when that happens you look at the person who just saved your life and you are flooded with a sense of gratitude connection and peace and that's biochemically the complete response cycle. Because we are alas almost never chased by lions No our stress or as tend to be things that are not actually go
