New York Times (November 21)

Donald Trump stood up “for Saudi Arabian values. He disregarded the C.I.A.’s conclusions and American values in swallowing the Saudi version of the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.” The President did absolutely nothing to support “the safety of journalists or Americans abroad.” He “could not summon even a modicum of lip service to condemn the abomination of dispatching a hit team equipped with a bone saw to throttle and dismember Mr. Khashoggi for daring to criticize the crown prince.”

“President Donald Trump took aim at Saudi Arabia’s plan to cut oil production on Monday, injecting new tension into an already fraught alliance that has been clouded by U.S. concerns over the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi and the ongoing conflict in Yemen.”

Trump’s reckless Middle East “ambitions have been revealed as the misguided fantasies they always were. The disappearance and alleged murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi inside the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul has exposed the real return on Trump’s gambits: a string of reckless acts by the Saudis and Israelis that have made the region more rather than less unstable.” Both Israel and Saudi Arabia “have exploited Trump’s indulgence to the hilt, taking actions they never would have dared under Obama or any other previous president.”

“Japan has again been forced to confront its work culture after labour inspectors ruled that the death of a 31-year-old journalist at the country’s public broadcaster, NHK, had been caused by overwork.” NHK’s delayed reporting of employee Miwa Sado’s death from overwork in 2013, “piles pressure on authorities to address large number of deaths linked to labour practices.”

“Beijing is increasingly exporting its ‘internal matters’ — the repression of critical or even independent voices — to other countries.” This ranges from its so called great cannon “to take down Web sites outside China to which it objects” to current persecution of a U.S. journalist’s family members. “We think the United States should declare, loudly and publicly, that such brazen intimidation is reprehensible…. When China persecutes a journalist living in the United States, it is no longer an ‘internal matter.’”
