In an interview with Xinhua, Herreros explained that, according to ECLAC, around 24.9 percent of total U.S. exports head to Latin America and the
Caribbean, while imports from the region account for 19.2 percent of the total.
"Clearly Men's Under Armour UA Scorpio Black Lime , the emphasis that was on multilateralism and commitment to free trade and historic precepts of the U.S.
trade policy, are now being questioned," he noted.
"There is a new focus that is far more centered on reducing trade deficits, on bilateralism, and in certain cases, far more protectionist attitudes," said
Herreros.
Among U.S. President Donald Trump's first measures after taking office was to remove the U.S. from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).
"A very obvious proof was the U.S. exit from the TPP Men's Under Armour UA Scorpio White Roayl Gold , the suspension of the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) with the EU and the
questions being directed at the World Trade Organization," he noted.
However, in the region, preoccupation has been centered around the current renegotiation of North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
"The renegotiation of NAFTA falls under the same logic. It has not been going very well until now and many of the proposals made by the U.S. are really very
radical, very difficult for Canada and Mexico to accept," explained Herreros.
"There is a very strong uncertainty on whether the negotiations will finish safe and sound, and if they do not Women's Under Armour UA Scorpio Black Pink , what will happen next," he indicated. "The U.S. has said that if the new agreement is not satisfactory, it
will exit, which would certainly have strong consequences for Mexico and
Canada."
However, Trump's threats are not limited to North America and has made it clear that other trade deals signed with other countries in the region, such as
Chile, Colombia and Peru Women's Under Armour UA Scorpio Pink Grey , will feel impact.
According to ECLAC, around 70 percent of U.S. imports from Latin America come from Mexico and cover 4,808 products. The renegotiation of NAFTA and other
potential changes to U.S. trade policy could negatively affect trade in the
region, ECLAC said.
BEIJING, Oct. 25 (Xinhua) -- Facial recognition is becoming increasingly common in China, where it has been installed at ATM machines and KFC
restaurants. Now the technology has arrived in university classrooms to track
student attendance.
Shen Hao, a professor with Communication University of China Men's Under Armour UA Scorpio Carbon Black Red , is using facial recognition in his six courses to keep track of the attendance of more than 300
students.
Before every class, Shen activates a new attendance system installed on his tablet computer. Students stand in front of the screen one by one to have their
photos taken and matched with those in the school's database.
The system is based on facial recognition technology from Chinese Internet giant Baidu's open AI platform.
Currently, the platform has offered more than 80 different technological services to the public, helping program developers like Shen to develop their
own applications.
"The traditional way of tracking attendance is through a roll call. The new system saves time and reduces the workload of teachers," said Shen.
Students have joked that facial recognition is harsh as it doesn't allow for skipping classes. "But they support the technology to enter colleges," said Cui
Yuqin, a student majoring in data journalism with the university.
China's Forward-looking Industry Institute said that the facial recognition market in China surpassed 1 billion yuan (about 150 million U.S. dollars) in
2016 and is expected to hit 5.1 billion yuan by 2021.
Facial recognition technology has already been put to creative use. Beijing's Temple of Heaven has used it in toilets to deter toilet paper theft. In east
China's Jinan Men's Under Armour UA Scorpio Black Silver , traffic police installed facial scanners at intersections to catch and shame jaywalkers, and a Beijing
university has used the technology to guard its dorms.
BEIJING, Oct. 18 (Xinhua) -- Socialism with Chinese characteristics has crossed the threshold into a new era, Xi Jinping said Wednesday at the opening
of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC).
It will be an era of securing a decisive victory in building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, and of moving on to all-out efforts to build
a great modern socialist country, he said while delivering a report.
It will also be an era that sees China moving closer to center stage and making greater contributions to mankind, he said.
The Chinese nation Men's Under Armour UA Scorpio Black Gold , which since modern times began had endured so much for so long, has achieved a tremendous transformation -- it
has stood up, grown rich, and become strong, he said.
Socialism with Chinese characteristics entering a new era means that scientific socialism is full of vitality in 21st century China, and that the
banner of socialism with Chinese characteristics is now flying high and proud
for all to see, he said.
It means that the path Men's Under Armour UA Scorpio Black Orange , the theory, the system, and the culture of socialism with Chinese characteristics have kept developing,
blazing a new trail for other developing countries to achieve modernization. It
offers a new option for other countries and nations who want to speed up their
development while preserving their independence; and it offers Chinese wisdom
and a Chinese approach to solving the problems facing mankind, he said.
Xi said the principal contradiction facing Chinese society has evolved into one "between unbalanced and inadequate development and the people's ever-growing
needs for a better life."
The needs to be.
