Chinese shares listed in Hong Kong rose after returning from a holiday, as investors brushed aside Beijing’s most forceful crackdown on illicit cross-border stock trading to chase tech gains. The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index advanced as much as 0.9%, with Lenovo Group Ltd. and Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp. leading the gains. A Bloomberg gauge of Hong Kong-listed brokerages also jumped 3.3%. Tuesday’s upbeat tone was lifted by optimism over Huawei Technologies’ near breakthrough in advanced production. That’s in contrast to the 2.2% slide in the Nasdaq Golden Dragon China Index on Friday after authorities threatened penalties against popular brokers and ordered non-compliant accounts to be liquidated in two years in measures announced after local markets shut. Sentiment was steadier when Hong Kong markets reopened on Tuesday, as investors bet a gradual unwind and the option to shift accounts to local brokers would keep liquidity and funds within the system. The extended timeline along with the targeted scope of the curbs also offered some relief. “I think the crackdown is specific to cross-border online brokers,” said Vey Sern Ling , managing director at Union Bancaire Privee. “Investors should not be worried that this is a broader regulatory tightening in the tech or Internet space.” Analysts including Morgan Stanley and Citic Securities have said that the financial impact from the measures is manageable. The crackdown is estimated to affect as much as HK$250 billion ($32 billion) of assets in Hong Kong, but the assets are spread across different products, and any equity selling would probably happen gradually, according to Citic. Still, the moves mark China’s most aggressive attempt yet to curb citizens’ access to overseas markets, a long-running but prohibited practice in a country with strict capital controls to protect its currency. The Hong Kong stock market’s strong performance in the last two years — the HSCEI gauge jumped more than 50%...

Globalism Seeks To Kill The Nation-State Authored by J.B. Shurk via American Thinker , International government threatens the whole planet. People are beginning to understand that those who rule in their name have long been working to eliminate the nation-state. The United Nations is not neutral ground for national governments to discuss their differences; it is a governmental construct meant to replace national governments. The World Health Organization is not an international body meant to coordinate complex responses to global health emergencies; it is an institution vested with vast power and authority to track and regulate every human on the planet. The Bank for International Settlements, the World Bank Group, and the International Monetary Fund don’t exist to expand free trade, open markets, and assist developing nations; they exist to centralize control over all economic transactions in the world. The onslaught of “green new deal” laws in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Australia, and New Zealand have nothing to do with preserving the environment or “saving the planet”; they are part of a broader U.N. initiative to track every person’s so-called “carbon footprint” in order to monitor, tax, and regulate all human activity. The U.N.’s “climate reparations” policy has nothing to do with “justice” or “science”; it exists to justify the redistribution of wealth from Western nations to non-Western nations under the guise of “international law.” The message we have heard all our lives is loud and clear: Nations do bad things. International organizations do good things. The rhetorical war on “nationalism” didn’t begin because people who are proud of their nations magically became Nazis; people who are proud of their nations are called “Nazis” so that those who rule over us can demonize the nation-state. If you go back through newspapers and scholarly essays before WWII, “nationalism” and “patriotism” are used interchangeably. After ...

Armstrong World Industries (AWI +0.17%) and Carlisle Companies (CSL +0.43%) possess elite, high-margin, cash-compounding financial profiles, but they frequently fly under the radar for mainstream or institutional investors. That's because they're boring -- in a good way. They make high-margin goods that most investors don't think much about. Armstrong makes acoustical ceiling tiles and mineral fiber wall panels. Carlisle makes single-ply thermoplastic roofing membranes and commercial building envelope insulation. Here are three reasons why I like each of these construction supply stocks. Armstrong gets stability with high renovation exposure One of the biggest misconceptions about building materials companies is that they are entirely at the mercy of volatile new construction starts. Armstrong breaks this mold cleanly because roughly 70% of its commercial revenue is tied to renovation and remodel work, rather than new buildings. This structural exposure to remodeling helps the company during economic slowdowns. Commercial properties regularly need ceiling and acoustical updates, even when new from-the-ground-up construction freezes.

Shinnosuke Abe, manager of the Yomiuri Giants, has stepped down following his arrest on suspicion of assaulting his daughter, the Japanese baseball club said on Tuesday. Abe, 47, was taken into custody by police for allegedly grabbing his 18-year-old daughter and forcing her to the floor at their home in Tokyo on Monday. He was later released. Giants president Toru Kunimatsu apologised, saying violence cannot be tolerated and the club takes the matter extremely seriously. He said the team will consider “disciplinary action”, including Abe’s future with the club. Advertisement Abe, who has a reputation among Giants fans as a demanding manager who holds players to strict standards, has admitted to the allegation, telling investigators he lost his temper as he tried to mediate a fight between his daughters, according to an investigative source. Offensive chief coach Hideki Hashigami will serve as acting manager from Tuesday’s interleague game against the SoftBank Hawks at Tokyo Dome, the Giants said. Advertisement Abe was quoted by police as saying he told his daughters to be quiet, but they talked back to him and he became “furious”. He was arrested at home in front of his daughters and wife, the source said. He is believed to have been drunk at the time of the incident.
