Here comes China

  • Here comes China

    Recently we looked at how China is ensuring food security for 1.4 billion people.   https://globalsouth.co/2023/11/24/how-is-china-ensuring-food-security-for-1-4-billion-people/

    A quote of one of the wonderful comments that I’ve seen around the China articles:  “mao changed our world; a thousand flowers seeding hillsides or empire’s dam along a river’s edge netting every passing fish. the simplicity is breathtaking, accustomed…

    China has brought Giant Pandas back from extinction levels.  This process has formed a heartwarming part of the Chinese story over the past 30 years.    By the 1980s, their numbers in the wild had fallen to just over a thousand and extinction loomed.  China started a dedicated program to bring these cuddly animals back. …

    The West needs $20 billion and decades to develop a supply chain for processing gallium and germanium — far more than the trade value of the two elements. Even then, achieving costs comparable to China’s will prove challenging. Read full article →

    For America to be displaced by an Asian people long despised and dismissed with contempt as decadent, feeble, corrupt and inept, is emotionally very difficult to accept. The sense of cultural supremacy of the Americans will make this adjustment most difficult. – Lee Kwan Yew

    This is different from the usual article and is a documentary video that is absolutely worthwhile watching.  I had a suggestion just recently to focus somewhat on Chinese technological development and this caused a quandry.  One can look at everything one by one, but that would be another level of information overload.  What is clear…

    This is a very curious news item that most of us probably did not know about that Godfree Roberts reported in his extensive newsletter.

    What an incredible coincidence that the German Chancellor was visiting Wuhan’s Tongji Hospital at precisely the time when, according to CDC Director Redfield, a potentially catastrophic event was taking place across the…

    Our Two-track World

    Macro analyst Philip Pilkington sees global economic flows forming two tracks: fast for the developing world and slow for us.

    China’s inflation is under 2%, the economy is booming, national savings are $9 trillion and diplomatic prestige is high after the Iran-Saudi rapprochement in Beijing.  Venture capitalists, many…

  • Here Comes China!

    From the packed full of data Here Comes China newsletter by Godfree Roberts with commenting by myself. 

    The Chinese proposed peace plan for Russia and Ukraine was received by many commentators saying that China’s interest is to let commerce continue.  That is true, but it is not complete.  China wants to be the country that keeps…

    Godfree Robert’s Here Comes China newsletter has a feast of numbers and statistics.  On trade, despite all the anti-China rhetoric out of the US, the real situation is as follows:

    And, it turns out that China remains Germany’s main trading partner for seventh year, despite political warnings about excessive dependence. Read full article →

    With respect to Godfree Roberts and his excellent newsletter and I comment.

    This is a statement that has massive repercussions:  250 million smallholders with 2-3 hectares of land produce 80% of China’s food

    The attached article is a WEF article, so kindly read it without taking seriously the propaganda, but glean the facts. https://europeansting.com/2022/11/08/how-has-china-maintained-domestic-food-stability-amid-global-food-crises/

    I have had a few questions about China and have been slow to do the usual combination of my own geopolitical commentary and Godfree Robert’s newsletter extracts.  This time I want to dedicate the Here Comes China essay to two people.  This will both answer the questions as well as highlight superb work that has…
