TIACA Air Cargo Forum apparently is still planning its Miami, Florida debut with Messe München organizing the event, and a couple of industry publication partners handling sales, for November 10-11, undaunted by the global COVID-19 pandemic that once again is sweeping across Florida.
In early July looking over the event website, at the booked booths reveals (minus a small army of publications) maybe 30 exhibitors, but less than a half dozen airlines.

That brace of powerful USA aircraft carriers on maneuvers in the South China Sea (SCS) last week sends a powerful message to Communist China that the USA and others will not be driven off those waters that the CCP has been treating recently as its own private lake.
The implications for trade are underscored as SCS drives USD$7 trillion in trade annually.
But in broader thinking about these these things, push has finally come to shove.
If we exclude any type of armed conflict, which for two countries the size and technical sophistication of the United States and China would truly be catastrophic, the objectives and field of conflict become rather clear.
What is going on in this Covid-19 world of 2020 is an economic and world view conflict between closed authoritarian states and open liberal democratic systems of governance.
