China: Trade war would be a lose-lose

Woman who took her own life in incident after injuring three believed to be 39-year-old animal rights activist from San Diego who 'hated' company
The woman suspected of carrying out a shooting at YouTube's headquarters in California on Tuesday has been named by local police as 39-year-old San Diego resident Nasim Aghdam.
The attacker, who fatally shot herself in the incident after wounding three people on the video site's Silicon Valley campus, was a prolific video blogger on YouTube and an animal rights activist.
Aghdam's father has since told the Bay Area News Group that she was angry at YouTube because it had stopped paying her for videos she posted on the platform. People who post on YouTube can receive money from advertisements that accompany their videos, but the company “de-monetises” some channels for reasons including inappropriate material or having fewer than 1,000 subscribers.

Guide dog owners face discrimination 2 years after ban on such practices
Many visually impaired people who use guide dogs in Japan are still suffering from discrimination two years after a law banning such practices came into force, a survey by a guide dog training organization shows.
In the research conducted in the 10 months through February, 63.0 percent of respondents said they were denied entry to shops or facilities because they were accompanied by guide dogs. The nationwide survey covered 235 guide dog owners and received 119 responses, according to The Eye Mate Inc.
Asked to what extent they think elimination of discrimination against guide dog owners has been achieved under the law that took effect in April 2016, 68.1 percent called for further efforts to fulfill the goal.
