** 1.6 million
------------------------------------------------------------
Over the last six months, long-term unemployment has risen to 1.6 million persons, and it could continue to creep higher. To put it in perspective, long-term unemployment rose throughout the 2007-2008 financial crisis and peaked at 6.8 million in April 2010, 11 months after the recession ended.

** $614 billion
------------------------------------------------------------
Mexico, not China, is the United States’ largest trading partner, with $614 billion in bilateral commerce in 2019. What happens in Mexico directly affects the security and prosperity of the United States, and vice versa.

** 3 nautical miles
------------------------------------------------------------
Feydhoo Finolhu, a tiny islet located just 3 nautical miles from the Maldivian capital, Malé, was leased to an undisclosed Chinese company for a bargain price of $4 million in 2016. Its strategic location—positioned closely to a nearby international airport on Malé—combined with the low price tag led to speculation that this was more than just a commercial development.
