When Donald Trump meets with Xi Jinping on Thursday, October 30, he won’t be chatting with just any run-of-the-mill leader of a rival nation. Rather, he will be sitting down the with the chief representative of the United States’ “pacing threat.” In the Pentagon’s lexicon, China has increasingly been presented as a “pacing challenge” or “pacing threat” − that is, a great-power rival against which a nation measures its strength, shapes its strategy and directs its resources across every domain of national power.

LONDON — Ethan Nwaneri is still only 18, and yet he has had to wait for a moment like this. The 18-year-old was one of Arsenal’s breakthrough stars of last season, but fortunes have conspired to complicate his continued involvement in the Gunners’ first team.In that context, scoring the crucial opening goal in Wednesday’s 2-0 win over Brighton in the Carabao Cup was a timely reminder of his talents. The finish was exquisite, as was the move that preceded it: Mikel Merino flicking the ball superbly for defender Myles Lewis-Skelly to square a pass for Nwaneri, who rolled a first-time…
On whether there will be ‘more pressure’ on Liverpool for Saturday’s fixture with Aston Villa having rested several senior players…I don’t think it is possible if you lose six out of seven that there is even more pressure.
