It is only 21 km long, yet they have been maintaining it for over 3 years. This is unacceptable. I am very dissatisfied with the progress and the quality of the work on this road. By Monday, they should collect their equipment and leave the site - Minister @HonByamukama
Strong businesses are built by men who can sit with uncertainty, make decisions with incomplete information, and still take full responsibility for the outcome.
This is genuinely shocking, and says so much about our approach to China.
I decided to check for independent reviews of the English version Xi Jinping's latest book, published a year ago, to see what people had to say about it since I hadn't read it myself.
To my surprise, I couldn't find any: not a single thoughtful review about the book out there! Even on Amazon, check it for yourself (https://t.co/1LVlhACA53): the book has only 3 ratings, that's it.
No matter where you stand on China, you’ve got to admit that’s pretty crazy: the sitting president of the world's rising superpower publishes a 700-page book explaining exactly what he's doing and why, and we don’t even care to look.
If there ever was a fact that illustrates just how willfully ignorant we are about China, this is it.
All the more because we then go spew the usual clichés around how secretive and impenetrable the Chinese system is: the book is on Amazon for $21 for crying out loud!
Anyhow, this felt so wrong that I figured I'd fix it. I bought the book, read it attentively and wrote what I hope you'll agree is a thoughtful review of it.
The book contains genuinely surprising passages, such as Xi writing that oversight of the Communist Party by "the judiciary, the public, and the media" was not just something the Party must “readily accept,” but something that he framed as historically decisive - an essential component to "escaping the historical cycle of rise and fall" that has doomed every dynasty in China's history.
Other passage that I'm sure would surprise many: a common narrative out there is that China blames the West for the century of humiliation and is driven by revenge. Well, Xi explains that's not true at all: the century of humiliation was China's own mistake, originated in the Ming Dynasty's disastrous "policy of national seclusion" that "resulted in China missing out on the opportunities presented by the Industrial Revolution" and "led to China’s decline."
All in all, the book is remarkably self-reflective and thoughtful. For instance Xi recognizes that his drive for “full and rigorous internal governance” - including to rid the Party of corruption - risked "instill[ing] fear and apprehension, or intimidate members into inaction.” He emphasizes the need for pragmatism in this regard, codified in a framework called the “Three Distinctions” that separates honest mistakes - made while experimenting, reforming, or operating without precedent - from deliberate violations committed for personal gain.
And many other surprises still. I found it a genuinely fascinating read for anyone interested in how the Chinese system works and how Xi thinks - or anyone interested in governance, period, as so much of what he writes is pretty universally applicable.

_Haryomideh Based on Forbes Real-Time Billionaires (June 21 2026):
$200B would place Aliko Dangote in the global top 10, likely 6th or 7th.
Current top 5:
1. Elon Musk (~$1.2T)
2. Larry Page (~$301B)
3. Sergey Brin (~$278B)
4. Jeff Bezos (~$254B)
5. Michael Dell (~$235B)
Next spots hover around or below the $200B range and shift daily with markets. Massive leap from his current ~$32B!
A closer look at the Mobile Lab 🚐
Unveiled during the official launch of the SERENE Project, the Mobile Lab is a visible symbol of NBRB’s commitment to public engagement, technical outreach, and safer building practices.
By bringing awareness and building safety messages closer to communities, the Mobile Lab will support efforts to promote resilience and encourage compliance with standards across Uganda.

Happy Annual Engineering Week.2026
Engineering spaces, converting them into liveable and ambient residences, commercial and luxurious holiday destinations is a testament that what God didn't accomplish was handed over to mankind to make living more efficient.
