Maybe

But then again, I think there are also some interesting narrative shifts unfolding

To begin with, you have 100s of western journalists who have not been to China for almost a decade showing up and suddenly saying “hold on a second. What happened here??? How come China has better cars, better phones, better trains, etc… So that’s one sudden narrative shift

Another is the idea that China is uninvestible because “China is about to invade Taiwan”. Anyone with two brain cells and/or isn’t on the payroll of the US military industrial complex now acknowledges that this won’t happen. Prior to Russia invading Ukraine, Biden was not bringing half of his cabinet to Moscow to shake hands with Putin…

Anyway, lots of narrative shifts

Including the ABC idea (anything but China) being buried in real time…

@richardker FYI she also won the Shaw prize and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society.

Also awarded Fellow of the Royal Society. Which is a pretty big deal.

A good description of leadership. Actually I think it has less to do with AI and more to do with the nature of people and the arcs described existed long before LLMs became vogue.

Why is it when Malaysians are corrupted - it is always cars... Can we have some culture please? How shallow do you have to be when you have a windfall the only thing you can think of is cars.

They’re playing the nationalism card? Seriously??!!! Tolong la. The fact that we are here means we believe in this country. But don’t insult our choices and intelligence by asking us to accept mediocre leadership and subpar planning and implementation.

MMA menghormati semangat yang dibawa Tan Sri KPPA @jpagov dalam isu ini.

Namun, izinkan MMA bersuara dengan jelas :
• Doktor-doktor kita bukan tidak cintakan Malaysia.🇲🇾
• Mereka pergi kerana SISTEM & DASAR tidak membalas cinta❤️mereka.
• Kontrak yang tidak menentu.
• Elaun yang tidak setimpal dengan pengorbanan.
• Laluan kerjaya yang kabur & tidak pasti.
• Kenaikan pangkat yang tidak telus — di mana merit tidak selalunya menang.
• Penempatan yang tidak menghormati pilihan dan pengorbanan mereka.

Nasionalisme itu sedia ada dalam diri mereka.
Yang kurang adalah keadilan daripada SISTEM & DASAR itu sendiri.
Perbaiki SISTEM & DASAR . Mereka akan kekal. Pulihkan kepercayaan.
Mereka akan pulang.

@ken5hin Thats our challenge. Small market, not deep enough in capital & resources, plus we squandered many chances. And then we have this giant in our backyard. I’m not for protectionism forever but globalisation can cause wipeout. Maybe go super niche like what we’re trying in semicon

[Nadiah Wan @lapetitemaligne]

Reading the comments I think there’s a real need to understand how cheap Chinese exports will affect domestic industries in the region. While consumers want the cheapest products, the danger is without having real value production & capture domestically, our SMEs will bleed.

Now it may be BYD, hotpot, mee tarik or shopee sellers setting up shop here. In the future, it could affect everyone because China is just that big. If we don’t innovate and go up the chain fast we all will end up collectively poorer.

This took place in 2012, and by 2013 the cement cones had been removed. It prompted Guangzhou to initiate policy discussions on bridge space management. Today, the spaces beneath flyovers have become beautiful public facilities and green spaces that benefit citizens' well-being.

I'm happy to announce this new paper — we compile evidence on the extraordinary harms caused by IMF and World Bank structural adjustment programmes in the global South since the 1980s.

The empirical record is devastating: documented negative impacts on wages, poverty, inequality, maternal mortality, infant mortality, healthcare access, etc.

SAPs inflicted misery on the periphery in order to curtail their consumption, scupper independent development, and make labour and resources more cheaply available for the core.

An 18-month-old infant in Gaza, Jawad Abu Nassar, was tortured by Israeli soldiers to press his father into confessing during interrogation after being abducted near the Al-Maghazi refugee camp, according to his family and doctors.
