Major breakthroughs with China’s toughest critics will be hard to come by unless Xi is ready to make surprise concessions.

For the first time in the history of the United States, billionaires had a lower effective tax rate than working-class Americans. Opinion Guest Essay Make Billionaires Pay (Their Taxes)Until recently, it was hard to know just how good the superrich are at avoiding taxes. Let’s agree that billionaires should pay income taxes equivalent to a small portion — say, 2 percent — of their wealth each year. Billionaires who already pay the baseline amount of income tax would have no extra tax to pay. The idea that billionaires should pay a minimum amount of income tax is not a radical idea.

(Since the release of her third album, “Motomami,” Rosalía has been spotted in everything from biker-style shield sunglasses to Harley Davidson helmets).

But Rosalía isn’t the first to attempt to recontextualize the garment in the name of fashion.

The ruling does not have a legal arena for appeal, a spokesperson for Italy’s health ministry said.

In the ruling, the court found that no violation by Italy had occurred. While the case was in court, Italy began negotiating with the Getty for the return of some of the works it identified as looted. Either party has three months to request that the case be referred to the Grand Chamber of the European court to consider whether it deserved further examination. “But the cases where they pass to the Grand Chamber are rare,” said D’Ascia, the lawyer. The Getty said Thursday that it was “carefully considering the possibility of requesting a review before the Grand Chamber.”
