Xi’s state visit to Britain brings up past slights, present steel dumping and the role of the heir apparent to the British throne.

China is dumping steel because their economy is slowing.   In China, because steel is so important it is subsidized.  The steel that’s being dumped is at the price steel producers around the world can’t compete with.  In the US there are dumping tariffs.  Surely the subject will be discussed in on Xi’s state visit.

Prince Charles is a supporter of the Dhali Llama .  He is doing his duty by attending welcoming ceremonies, but will not attend a dinner at Buckingham Palace.  How does his mother feel about this? We don’t know.
