This is either ignorance or plain mischief. Cos the new tax regime, if anything, reduces the burden on lower income earners. tsk

[Morris Monye @Morris_Monye]

How can Nigerians organize to resist this tax issue.

Why can’t we organize ourselves to speak with one voice.

People can’t even eat. Why take from them. When there is abundance, then they will have tax to pay.

You can’t tax poverty or people struggling to survive.

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

It's exceptionally rare for former Chinese officials to reveal the inner workings of the system, all the more so when it involves detailing the mechanics of China's famous 5-year plans.

Dong Yu, interviewed by the SCMP (link: https://t.co/q3inkXE8qz) helped draft China's 11th, 12th, and 13th five-year plans and he's now VP of the China Institute for Development Planning at Tsinghua University. In other words, the guy knows China's planning process in and out, both in theory and in practice.

I'll let you read the interview in full for yourself, but here were the parts that stood out for me:

1) What I hadn't realized, but which makes complete sense when you think about it, is the extent to which 5-year plans are not as much a mere forecasting exercise or even an economic blueprint but first and foremost a mass behavioral/psychological exercise.

Dong Yu makes 3 points around this:
- He emphasizes that "planning targets are not the same as forecasts. A target is not only based on technical calculations, but also takes into account how it shapes expectations." In other words the targets have a psychological dimension that's critical in determining actual outcomes, they have a self-fulfilling dimension.
- He says that "today, we have placed expectations in a position of unprecedented importance, and much of our work now revolves around shaping these expectations." Which basically means that to him planning is fundamentally about managing collective psychology.
- Lastly he argues that "the more uncertain the future feels, the more vital planning becomes... It is precisely in such moments that planning can provide much-needed stability and direction." In other words, the mere existence of a plan helps create psychological stability that enables economic activity.

2) The elaboration of the plan is more bottom-up than top-down.

This may come as a surprise to many people still under the impression that everything in China is decided in Beijing (or even solely by Xi Jinping himself 😅) - especially when it comes to the country's 5-year plans which are largely seen as a top-down exercise - but as Dong Yu reveals the process is surprisingly bottom-up.

For one thing the national plan is based on the targets set by China's provinces, which are often defined by the provinces themselves beforehand in the process.

The proactiveness of local governments is what Dong Yu highlights as "one of China's key strengths": he says that they "conduct extensive analyses and forecasts on industrial development" in their jurisdictions, and that this "widespread engagement and effort from top to bottom" is essential to the planning process.

3) The 5-year plan is not only about planning, but is part of a "full process, from formulation to implementation" which is intrinsically linked to China's political system, specifically its capacity to deliver "consistency and stability in carrying out long-term plans."

Dong Yu says that means replicating the 5-year plan process is very difficult for other countries: "Other countries are trying to learn from this model, but so far they mostly copy the form of the plans or isolated policies. The full process, from formulation to implementation, is unique and not easy to replicate."

4) He says that there is one key overarching objective behind all 5-year plan chapters: they are all fundamentally organized around improving people's living standards ("household income") rather than pure technocratic objectives around industrial targets or infrastructure.

There are of course many various ways to go about this and his personal philosophy is that "we shouldn't only focus on slicing the pie; we must also think about how to make a bigger pie. Only when the pie grows larger does dividing it become easier."

5) The are many other interesting tidbits in the article but I'll end on what Dong Yu says about both "involution" (cutthroat zero-sum competition) and "overcapacity", which are two hot topics today.

On involution, a problem Xi Jinping recently highlighted as a one of the key issues to solve for China (https://t.co/2XWu49HkNF), Dong Yu says that it is a difficult balance to strike because "part of what we call involution is market-driven competition, and we do not need to see it as entirely negative."

As he puts it the goal isn't to eliminate competition but to ensure "the sound development of the ecosystem by preventing excessive competition from eroding the growth prospects of smaller enterprises." To him the real issue with involution is when the cutthroat competition "undermines small and medium-sized businesses, especially in sectors that are related to people's livelihoods."

On "overcapacity", it looks like Dong Yu doesn't quite believe in the narrative - which is largely driven by the West. As he puts it: "This 'overcapacity' is largely a mischaracterisation when viewed in the context of global supply and demand."

Using electric vehicles as an example, he argues that "Chinese products have already far surpassed their competitors in both quality and value for money, yet their current sales volume and market share remain below what they should achieve due to various external barriers." He asks rhetorically: "Are other companies or governments really suggesting that people should just accept higher prices and lower-quality goods?"

His basic point: overcapacity is a Western narrative to protect inferior, more expensive products from legitimate market competition.

That's it, please go read the entire interview (https://t.co/q3inkXE8qz): again it's very rare to hear a former Chinese official speak so openly about the inner workings of the system; we should have more of this!

[Cyril Onih @Cyrilonih]

@OlayinkaLere This is doctored. Edited. The full video is online.. and you will see that the "where are his children and I'm sure they will hate God" was not referring to Apostle Babalola. But agenda has to agend!

[Cyril Onih @Cyrilonih]

Sure, classy will suddenly get a new meaning to suit your bias.
Just as no response will ever be enough for those who are determined not to hear it. Never mind that he does not owe "YOU" any response whatsoever.
And you can now determine false prophets. Wehdone Junior God!

[Chxta @Chxta]

The response of CAC to Fatoyinbo is as classy as it gets.

Think about it.

12 years on, he has still not delivered his "robust response" to Ese Walter.

Why?

Because he is a false prophet who is doing well in a morally decrepit environment.

PRESS RELEASE BY THE COMMONWEALTH OF ZION ASSEMBLY

RE: PRESS RELEASE BY THE CHRIST APOSTOLIC CHURCH (CAC News) ON REV BIODUN FATOYINBO

My attention has been drawn to a press release on statements credited to my person relating to the family of the Late and Highly Revered Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola, a most distinguished father of faith in Nigeria and indeed all over the world.

I appreciate the fact that a church I personally love, admire and respect would be so kind and magnanimous enough to address the issues which have been misconstrued in an exemplary Christian manner. I am indeed grateful.

The exploits of Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola, which in the video I stated explicitly are too numerous to count remains the hall mark of most Christian organizations in Nigeria and beyond till this very moment.

Indeed many of the churches in this part of the world take their DNA either directly or indirectly from the ministry and grace over the life of Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola of which I cannot but also state categorically that I am a beneficiary.

I am therefore honored, humbled and grateful for every word, admonition and correction in the statement issued this morning by CAC. I am a child who grew up in the church and cannot erase that part of my formative years.

Let me state however that at no time in the sermon did I refer to the children of the late Apostle and Father of faith in bad light. I would never do that. The raw copy of the message is online and this can be verified.

Our church is known worldwide as a place of Honor and I would never in any way of manner take lightly the grace over Apostle Babalola, his children or his ministry for granted or speak lightly of same.

I am also aware that the children of the late Veteran of faith, who are all serving God and keeping up the legacy of our late father of faith are not only shining examples of generational impact, but good and present day examples for children of visionaries to follow.

I remain proud of their achievements and honor them in no small measure.

Finally, I apologize if any other statement made by me has caused any form of distress, hurt or discontentment to the CAC, the family of the late Apostle Babalola or his associates.

I will never disrespect or speak of them in that manner either publicly or privately.

I pray that this puts to rest the entire episode and we pray that the CAC and the legacy of our father Apostle Joseph Ayo Babalola, continues to grow in leaps and bounds.

Your Son,

‘Biodun Fatoyinbo
Global Senior Pastor
Commonwealth of Zion Assembly

[therealchurchgist @therealchurchg1]

With wisdom and a calm spirit, Rev. Biodun Fatoyinbo addresses the CAC statement, dispelling misconceptions while honouring the late Apostle Babalola and his family. This is what it means to handle matters “decently and in order.”
