CHINA’S GLOBAL LEADERSHIP LIST – CHARTS AND FACTS – Eurasia News Online

Look at the social media comments, and it’s clear that too many Americans – especially Trump supporters – are filled with misinformation and prejudice. “China is 100 years behind” … “All Chinese products are crap” … “China can’t innovate” … “It’s a communist, poor, polluted country” … and, of course, the most popular theme is “China’s economy is about to collapse.” It’s hard to change these opinions, since those people reinforce their biases by gleefully consuming and sharing only anti-China articles. Anything remotely positive about China is attacked as “Chinese propaganda.” While it’s true that China as whole has a long way to go in GDP-per-capita, many big cities in China are essentially “developed economies.” U.S., Taiwan Manipulate Chip Supplies To Press For War With China.

A strong semiconductor industry is critical to US global economic competitiveness and national security in an era of digital transformation and artificial intelligence.

How Restricting Trade with China Could End US Semiconductor Leadership

The US has long been the semiconductor leader, with a 45% to 50% market share. US leadership is grounded in a virtuous innovation cycle that relies on access to global markets to achieve the scale needed to fund very large R&D investments that consistently advance US technology ahead of global competitors. Frictions between the US and China, whose device makers accounted for around 23% of global semiconductor demand in 2018, have generated significant headwinds for US semiconductor companies.

Sugar and Spice and Everything Vice: the Empire’s Sin City of London – the Canadian patriot.

Sugar and Spice and Everything Vice: the Empire’s Sin City of London – the Canadian patriot

Since the 2008 financial crisis, which is considered the most serious financial crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930s, many have not been able to go back to sleep after such a lucid nightmare. Lockdown lessons from the history of solitude. When the poet John Donne was struck down by a sudden infection in 1623 he immediately found himself alone – even his doctors deserted him.

The experience, which only lasted a week, was intolerable. He later wrote: “As sickness is the greatest misery, so the greatest misery of sickness is solitude.” It’s hard to believe now, but until relatively recently, solitude – or the experience of being alone for significant periods of time – was treated with a mixture of fear and respect. Revolutionary Times and Systemic Collapse – “The System Cannot Handle It” Some have queried how it could be that President Putin would co-operate with President Trump to have OPEC+ push oil prices higher – when those higher prices precisely would only help sustain U.S. oil production.

Revolutionary Times and Systemic Collapse – “The System Cannot Handle It”

In effect, President Putin was being asked to underwrite a subsidy to the U.S. economy – at the expense of Russia’s own oil and gas sales – since U.S. shale production simply is not economic at these prices.

List of countries by external debt. This is a list of countries by external debt, the total public and private debt owed to nonresidents repayable in internationally accepted currencies, goods, or services,[1] where the public debt is the money or credit owed by any level of government, from central to local, and the private debt the money or credit owed by private households or private corporations based in the country under consideration.

This is not to be confused with public debts which can be found under 'List of countries by public debt'. For informational purposes, several non-sovereign entities are also included in this list. Note that while a country may have a relatively large external debt (either in absolute or per capita terms), it could be a "net international creditor" if its external debt is less than the total of the external debt of other countries held by it. For example, Norway, Luxembourg, Switzerland, China and others are net international creditors. Notes[edit] See also[edit] References[edit] L'Union Européenne sert à l'évasion fiscale.

Money. If Your Boss Makes Millions, It’s Not Because of the Market. How the Economy Works as It Reaches Energy Limits — An Introduction for Actuaries and Others. Why have long-term interest rates generally fallen since 1981? Why have asset prices risen? Can these trends be expected to continue? The standard evaluation approach by actuaries and economists seems to be to look at past patterns and assume that they will be repeated.

The catch is that energy consumption growth plays a hugely important role in GDP growth. It also plays an important role in interest rates that businesses and governments can afford to pay.
