Boom Bust: Trump Signs Hong Kong Autonomy Act

Professor Wolff joins Boom Bust to talk about Trump's signing of the Hong Kong Autonomy Act and how the sanctions will affect China. "I'm astonished by the grotesque hypocrisy. Hong Kong was a colony of Britain imposed on the Chinese when they were weak. They always resented it. It was a lease, believe it or not, for 99 years. It expired 20 years ago and the Chinese have been saying for 20 years that they want that territory integrated back into their society. Every business that ever invested in Hong Kong over the last 20 years knew exactly what the future held in store. Those decisions to take those risks have already been made and mostly this is posturing by Mr. Trump."

Loud & Clear: Trump v. Silicon Valley on Worker Visa Shutdown

Trump's new executive order suspends H1B work visas until December. Indian nationals make up about 70% of these visas, followed by Chinese nationals. Richard Wolff weighs in on what this means for American business, the world perception of the US, and the affects on US workers.

"For those people that believe that all of these jobs will stay here but now they will go to Americans, that's just silly. The history doesn't show that. Most of the hiring will now move aboard. The same people who complained about these folks, these immigrants, getting these jobs will not complain that the jobs are over there and they should be here... For most capitalist it really doesn't matter all that much whether you employ them over there or here. So my bottom line is, this is more theater from Mr. Trump."
