The Upshot

Chinese Restaurants Are Closing. That’s a Good Thing, the Owners Say.

The share of Chinese restaurants has fallen in metro areas across the country in the last five years. Many owners are glad their children won’t be taking over.

Things are changing.
Children are growing up.

A Trump Policy ‘Clarification’ All but Ends Punishment for Bird Deaths

In one of its first environmental acts, the Trump administration absolved businesses from responsibility for "incidental" bird deaths. Avian carnage has followed.

Birds are not important to Trump.

Opinion

Impeachment Hurts, and Trump Knows It

The idea that the president thinks it will help him politically is wrong. Just listen to what he is saying.

One step at a time.
Trump will not serve a second term.

Opinion

What Will It Take to Beat Donald Trump?

It’s not what the progressive left is talking about.

The Democratic party is working on the problem.

Style

The Subway Crush Who Crushed Me

We met on the train, married and had two boys who resembled him. I had no idea how much that resemblance would rebuild me.

Soon.

Business

The Town That Lost Its Walmart

For a small town in Texas, the three-decade presence of the world’s largest retailer was a point of civic pride. Then, 18 months ago, all that changed.

People thought it would change.  It has only changed.

Technology

At the Edge of the World, a New Battleground for the U.S. and China

The Faroe Islands have become perhaps the most unexpected place for the United States and China to tussle over the Chinese tech giant Huawei.

The customers will buy the best network available.
The U.S. must build that equipment.

Killer Slime, Dead Birds, an Expunged Map: The Dirty Secrets of European Farm Subsidies

The E.U. has green aspirations. Its signature, $65 billion policy says otherwise.

The E.U. is not skilled at making new policy.

Putin’s Russia, Punching Above Its Weight, Keeps Adversaries Off Balance

Its economy is sputtering and its young people are frustrated, but with America and Europe in tumult, Russia and its leader of two decades are on a roll.

Let us fix the U.S. economy.

We will not do that by following Russia.

A Barrier to Trump’s Border Wall: Landowners in Texas

Construction of President Trump’s border wall has been slow going, in part because the Texans who own the land have to be coaxed or coerced to sell it, whether they want to or not.

The Trump wall is a bad idea.
