The Importance of Xi Jinping
EconomistDiary.com normanmacrae.net &ERworld.tv Global Entrepreneurial Revolution filenote 50.4
1 Half of the world is aged under 30. In aiming to be the sustainability goals generation, they are most fortunate that a place leader like Xi Jinping exists
2 Provided President Xi does not lose the trust of the fifth of the peoples of the world whom he serves, his alignment to sustainability goals delivers continuity through the 2020s while other place leaders come and go.
3 AI BELT ROAD MAPMAKING
Those who have valued Moore’s law since the mid 1960s appreciate significance of 2020s as when human brains will be outnumbered by computer brains. Big data choices will determine how happily the intelligence new world advances the human lot
Put another way, the 2020s starts up a humanAI Era with one trillion times Moore machine intelligence than Americans raced to the moon with in the 1960s. Mapping win-win trade routes between any two communities requires a platform which hundreds of nations trust as an updating databank. It is hard to imagine a moore valuable information process uniting nations- whether we call this Technology’s AI Belt Road or something else.
4 COMMUNITY OF SHATRED CDESTINY
These are not ordinary times; love of all human diversity will be exceptionally needed. Unilateral policy making will disadvantage nations as it becomes obvious to world citizens that only sustainability losers do that. Statisticians expect AI analytics will show that the acceleration of many risks has been underestimated as exponential models have historically been regarded as needing too much analysis compared with linear models. Some local dynamics of climate crisis may have underestimated urgency by a factor of ten
5 Most Chinese families of the 2020s still recall when the 17 sdgs posed life shaping innovation challenges. While the USA was racing to the moon, most Chinese had no access to electricity and some estimates show that up to 10% of mothers and children starved to death. Logically and emotionally the Chinese are now demanding a 2020s in which they can be proud of every city and village rising by getting smarter in finally ending poverty (Xi mission 2020) and newly becoming greener (renewable).
6 Being proud, locally responsible, for a huge and beautifully diverse land unites most Chinese families- their consciousness their roots. Chinese culture values rituals providing communal time and space to reflect even as the pace of life rushes forward. Artistic harmony is reinforced in such intangibles as a picture language - to be literate is Chinese is to unite artistically and round heritage in ways that those who speak a 26 letter western alphabet cannot experientially learn.
7 Unlike the G6 countries, China has many many borders. The Chinese understand they are facing an interdependent Eurasia (shared exchanges and hopefully smart apps) with neighbours facing ultra sustainability challenges – examples :
7a South to the population sustainability challenge of connecting with China half the world’s people
7b Isolated and landlocked peoples to the West and North- connecting particularly to Russians as peoples who are the gateway not just to their own landlocked sustainability but the climate challenges through which the arctic circle may be nature’s final examination may be gravitated
7c To China’s East, see peoples like those from Japan South Korea Singapore who have the world’s most experience of experimenting with tech for human development. They are top according to the World’s Bank’s human capital indices – and Japan’s new Reiwa era offers multiple world stage gatherings to facilitate deep debates on what will cooperating with trillion times more AI and G5 and other hi-tech hi-trust connections bring. The Economist’s 1975 maps of Asian Pacific century will leap forward – the only question left is will old people’s vested interests in the G6 really deny their own children entrepreneurial opportunities of #DigitalCooperation
8 China’s best kept 21st C secret may concern how it values its youth’s imagineering, particularly girls’ demands of what smart places’ markets will purposefully design (see trilliondollaraudit.com ) . There will be ever less markets driven by consumer more; instead markets will be about serve more or teach more For those who have not tracked China’s first 25 years of digital leaps forward, start with the story of Jack Ma. His human leapfrogging with technology values every hard working youth’s dream to make a difference. Moreover, AliBaba may be the only startup to have united Chinese Japanese Taiwan and Stanford investors in the opening round
8a Inside china, Jack represents the first generation with freedoms to explore the whole world. Aged 10 his city Hangzhou was one of China’s first designated tourist cities. He trained himself and thousands of youth to speak English and to be tour guides. His curiosity was stimulated by a geography teacher who told her class- I dont have a text book of the world’s maps- go see if tourists will draw maps with you.
8b From age 10 to 30 joyfully sharing stories and maps of each other nations was what Jack Ma became smartest at across his region of China. Then by good fortune, he was hired to be a translator in a commercial exchange with Seattle. Jack Ma’s first trip to USA encountered microsoft’s hub of the worldwide web- an innovation space no young Chinese person at that time had ever seen.
Jack’s number 1 passion -his being - is how to create livelihoods through village scale enterprises and his generation– so in 1994 he returned to China with the stream of questions: how can the coming of the internet to China co-create livelihoods? and maximise youth’s contributions to sustaining China? and friend all like-minded millennials? Ironically if you compare every year between 1994 and 2008 of US West Coast and China’s East Coast-note how china was juggling with 3 leaps in one- railways for all , telecoms for all, digital creativity for all. Big data small mapping is core to engineers who ground innovations that communities of people value multiply with. This dynamic was almost totally absent in silicon valley where big data big (and big advertisers big) were how america’s capital investments in technology spiraled.
9 There are two extra optimistic rational features of China to reflect on. First, China comprises half a billion under 30s who need livelihoods. Second, most family trees, due to the historic one child policy and a relative lack of social security for the oldest, now depend on how smart their 20 something family member can linkin to levels of productivity way beyond that parents could access.
10 Is there any family anywhere in the world that cannot gain from their teens and twenties friending Chinese teens and twenties? For the first time apps are available so that these youth can share English Chinese, mother tongue and coding. AI teachers assistants are blossoming too. China started AI as a primary school curriculum in 2018 before Mr Trump appears to have realized America has a G5 crisis.
11 Jack Ma says that having experimented for25 years with how digital markets of finance and commerce round livelihoods- he will now return the rest of his life mainly to the greatest economic development challenge of all time - half of youth the world over will not be employable unless we transform education beyond the classroom and by valuing the quotient of love not just the brain’s analytic power. This is a simultaneous problem around every hemisphere. Jack can only succeed in the education transformation he imagines if the whole world of education joins in.
From this day on, smart places hub/benchmark with each other how to trust teenagers to apprentice in how 2020s technologies can change the world round every community rising and so action network sustainability goals to be valued as borderless as they need to be locally transparent.
12 Jack Ma’s energies now inform the United Nations, the future of the Olympics and related youth expos, networks hubbing out of some of the world’s UNESCO heritages sites as well as most notable female superstars who want to know how to give back. He is as near a worldwide citizen of human imagination and digital cooperation as youth can search. But equally alumni of his gateway17.com roadshow across N America are confident Jack would rather transfer that responsiblity to local girls and boys ready to linkin their region’s most diverse responsibilities.
13 For every community to develop self-sufficiency, to empower girls to be as productive as boys, to humanize artificial intelligence as an opposite endgame to Orwell’s Big Brother nightmare, we need a new world of maps that also share big data for local analysis particularly where 400 years of the colonial age erected borders. 90% of globalisation supply chains depend on maps of how ships and trains linkin exchanges of things just-in-time. New education needs youth greeting each other at old borders with arts , and sports and fashions and yes loveq and hi- trust as well as hi-tech. Media isn’t social or true because an advertising agent says so. It is only as true where diverse youthful people meet and find happiness and safety in what they locally free markets to serve
14 Jack Ma is also unusual among technology world’s investors in loving to stage celebrations on a world stage. Xi Jinping appears to have recognized that ability in assigning China’s G20 top Hangzhou in 2016. Jack Ma has since gone on to be trusted by the Olympics to reform the value of celebrities and celebrations of youth on that world stage.
15 Let’s return to today’s 100 trillion dollar question : which place leaders match Xi Jinping in having earned deep and diverse trust across national leaders. Please tell us who’s who. And lets track where your nomination and Xi Jinping meet to be more than their parts
16 If you ever visit china or meet a young Chinese female tourist, you may discover that overall china’s quarter billion under 30s women take responsibility for cultural and communal care of each other extremely seriously. The West’s media does not support this- lets learn now to live up to every parent’s dream that their daughter enjoys as much chance from life as as any son wherever she is born. BY all means ask your leaders to test XI Jinping’s family on how they live up to this goal.
17 There is an oriental proverb- the King can’t change until the people change. Probably Xi Jinping is the exception that proves the rule. As a young graduate from Tsingua he immersed himself in action learning of rural development – his published essays out of poverty track back to 1988. He later returned to Tsinghua to kickstart teaching of how rural markets were redesigned to end poverty. In all likelihood when he talks to place leaders – be they in china or worldwide – he tacitly knows how much access to real data on ending poverty any leader has access to. That’s the deepest market transparency and public servant can celebrate if we are all to be in time to help sustain a global village world.
18 Diaries of where world leaders meet provide fascinating insights to how diversely globalization is being mapped by different cultures. The G7 combo of world empires represents less than 10% of peoples- it claims to be the forum that decides how the world economy works. The more it does that on its own the less it appears to be in touch with climate, transformational education and other sustainability innovations youth livelihoods can celebrate. In contrast XI Jinping fills the research gap of advantages of nations : with China meeting clusters of the other 193 nations where cooperation opportunities could be mapped BRICS SCO CEEC 16Plus1 plus Greece from 2020 – Africa cofac, latin America’s celac … China is entering the 2020s with Xi Jinping understanding at a direct leadership level the most important issue shared by each of over 125 nations leaders. Millennials who want to be the sustainability generation can cheer on leaders who help form such a global community of shared interests.

China launched the idea that the G20 be annual open space for solutions to sustaining all youth's livelihoods; it was the first to see that sustainability goals are collaboration goals out of every community starting with those that Industrial Revolution 1 didn't reach (eg villages with no electricity, no telecoms, cut off from mdoer learning , rotten distribution channels, no running water of sanitaion .

the connection of radical changes in technology with innovation by educators than any other skill set
==================year 36 let's learn to do better than 2020- 7.5 billion brains can ...
as 2020 closes - one ray of hope: two thirds of world who are asian now celebrate round education commission asia and then nov 2020 global leaders forum hosted by korea, keynote by gordon brown
rough transcript gordon brown - korea global leaders forum
00:01 i'm delighted to join you at this eighth global leadership forum and i congratulate you on choosing as this year's theme the biggest question of our time
00:12 what will our post-covid world look like?
and i want to start by thanking all those who contributed to the organization of this important event and in particular the leader who asked me to speak to you my friend professor lee whose distinguished career has included his great success in reforming education in the republic of korea as minister of education science and technology and his path-breaking work on the global and korean education commissions that i had the privilege to chair
00:37 and who as an academic and writer is recognized and admired for his innovative research and insights especially in HTHT: High-Tech High-Touch education, admired not just in this continent but in every continent --now this conference meets at the right time because we're indeed at an inflection point
00:53 covid 19 this microscopic parasite 10000 times smaller than a grain of salt has not only infected 50 million people( ed some models of asymptomatics figure nearer 500 million)
-and destroyed more than a million lives, but it has made us as individuals come face to face with our own vulnerability- and indeed our mortality
01:10 and it has brought more economic havoc, disrupted more trade, killed off more jobs, led to more lost production, caused more company closures than has any modern recession
01:20 And it has not only undermined the cultural and social foundations of our lives but it is making us rethink the way we live, the way we work, the way we travel. the way we learn the way we study
01:31 in some cases it is accelerating already underway changes: like the online economy…in other cases exposing age-old problems like poverty and deprivation which have come to the surface and in other cases making what previously seemed impossible
-- work is changing as more people work from home and communicate online the consumer economy is changing as retail moves online
01:55 public services are changing as we see online education and online health dramatically expand
02:01 the social contract is changing as we reframe the rights and responsibilities of individuals and governments
our ideas of fairness are changing as we recognize we will have to do more to value and reward all those who have been underpaid and under recognized ;especially those running personal one-to-one face-to-face
services like social care where some of the lowest paid workers in the world have had to take some of the biggest risks and the jobs we do are changing as IT , logistics, the digital economy as well as social care have to expand to meet new needs-
our ideas of what is acceptable are changing as workers who have been prepared to be self-employed (without job/health/pension contracts) now seek greater security-
our idea of society is changing but people have been isolated now more than ever that being part of a community matters more to them than ever it did
02.58 and so each country will have to find its own way forward as it rebalances the relationships
between individuals and communities
between markets and states,
between risk and security,
between freedom and control; .
between the very rich and the rest and of course between man and nature
03:08
and education is changing; and this is where i want to focus the rest of my remarks
indeed i want to suggest today that because we are now more aware than ever of inequality of families and children denied opportunity- of the vast gap between the world's education rich and the education poor,
there is now no route to the future that does not have education at its center, no route to greater equality of opportunity that does not involve education
03:35 no route to more prosperous economies, stronger communities and fairer societies without investing in education, no route to rebuilding our countries too -
03:44 no route to building back better without the contribution of education of teachers, trainers, researchers, academics to the common good
04.00 -so for all these reasons, i have to say to you that the pandemic has robbed millions of children of the future
because the education they once enjoyed has been interrupted- many of whom may never return to school, or even if they do they may never catch up on their learning
04:08 you know at the height of the pandemic 1.6 billion children and young people- 90 percent of the world's pupils and students had their education disrupted-nearly a billion students are still shut out from schools today
and the risk is that short-term school closures will lead to long-term reversals in educational attainment with the opportunities available to the world's poorest and most marginalised children already diminished and hit even more
04:34 before the pandemic
let us remember 260 million school-age children did not go to school,
400 million children left education at 11 or 12 never to return,
800 million half the developing world's children left education without any usable qualifications for the workplace
and that while the numbers of graduates (from high school) has increased from 100 million 50 years ago to 400 million in 2 000 to 700 million now ..even in the 2040s when children born today will first come of age 70% of all the adult population of the world will never have the secondary nor college nor university qualifications needed for the well-paying jobs the world can offer
05:20 in low-income countries today a staggering 90 percent of children are in learning poverty which means they cannot read a basic text by the age of 10;now in the last financial crisis the typical child fell six months behind in their educational attainments . but children who are out of school for more than a year are even more unlikely even to return,
and in crisis settings,
girls are two and a half times more likely to drop out of school than boys; but missing out on school means millions of children also go hungry; indeed during this pandemic 370 million children have been missing out on free or subsidized school meals which have often been their only regular source of nourishment
06:01 and with families under extreme financial pressure millions of boys and girls may soon join the 152 million children already forced into child labour
06:11 and many girls will join the 12 million girls a year who are forced into becoming child brides
06.21 with one estimate suggesting this illiteracy could lose us as a society as much as 10 Trillion dollars per year in future earnings we are standing by doing too little as havoc is reaped by one of the biggest forces accelerating inequality in our generation
06:35 quality education is vital to lift people out of poverty; to ensure healthier families advance racial and gender equality, unlock job opportunities increase security
06:45 and create a more just peaceful and sustainable world- and girls education is a proven link to lowering fertility rates and reducing population growth which itself is one of the key drivers of climate change
06:56 education especially of girls leads to better health- a child whose mother can read is
· fifty percent more likely to live past the age of five
· fifty percent more likely to be immunized twice as likely to attend school
07:09
and so this is why we must come together as a global community and save the future of our children in response to this crisis
07:18
the education commission in partnership with an unprecedented global coalition of international organizations launched save our future to call for urgent investigation in education to prevent what we call the generational catastrophe
07:33
three actions are urgently needed
· first we must reopen schools but make sure they are safe schools
· second we must prevent what the world bank and unesco estimate could be a funding gap of 200 billions in education budgets in the next year as countries reallocate resources to health and social welfare and
· third to use available resources to greatest effect we must be innovative
by creating the international finance facility for education securing 500 million of grants and government guarantees that could unlock two billion dollars of educational investment to be made through the asian development bank and other development banks
08:13 and i urge the korean government to join as a funding donor of the development banks and we must use this crisis as an opportunity to transform education
8.25 you see if you think of the monumental changes we have seen in the way we organize our factories, our homes, our hospitals and our travel,
08:30 and then think of how little education has changed with until recently so little online and how little the school itself has changed from the setting of world classrooms with the teacher as the sage on the stage and the pupils sitting in rows of desks
08:44 think of the educational revolution we need as we meet the demand for ever-changing skills: continuous learning and try to harness technology to support those most left behind
08:55 a study published just last year revealed how disparities in learning achievements have not diminished over the last 50 years; the most disadvantaged still perform at levels that are three to four years behind the most affluent and we must change this
09:09 online learning became a necessity almost overnight but yet close to half of the world's pupils and students don't have access to the internet
09:17 across the world more than 460 million- almost one third of school-aged children had not been reached by remote learning at all -so this could be the moment for us to transform education, to create individualized adaptive learning which meets children where they are with personalized learning, at scale for every student not just the lucky few
09:39 https://educationcommission.org/about/commission-leadership/
this is why the education commission and its hub in asia under the leadership of korea’s ju-ho lee are spearheading the high tech high touch for all initiative: combining the power of human touch and interaction from teachers with the power of adaptive learning and technology such as artificial intelligence. the high-tech refers to an adaptive technology that can help deliver personalized learning. it identifies prior knowledge and tailors instruction to diverse learning
needs allowing students to be stimulated and nurtured as they progress at their own pace. this can also be done initially in low-tech ways but artificial intelligence can allow us to track a child's
experience with software informed data and gear every child's learning to their aptitude is one way forward. the high touch element is the indispensable human connection provided by teachers. with the use of high tech teachers, can give more personalized guidance.no longer just the lecturer who's the sage on the stage but also the tutor and mentor who is the guide by the side.

we've already seen the promise of this approach in asia in vietnam as well as in india-and here in korea the HTHT university consortium which includes 16 member institutions provides support to korean universities that use the HTHT approach in their curricula and the k-12 consortium targets low-income students across multiple cities
TODAY. i'm glad to announce the launch of HTHT for all a global consortium across governments, ed tech innovators, industry providers and educators that will develop a rigorous evidence base and create a collaborative network to support bold ways to address the digital divide so let us be the first generation where every child not only goes to school and learns but feels able to bridge the gap between what they are and what they have in themselves to become and let us be the first generation where instead of developing only some of the talents of some of our children in someof the world's countries we develop all of the talents of all children in all countries

ed in 1972 by seeing 500 youth sharing knowledge on an early digital network; I see MOOC as one of last gamechangers education may ever in my life, but of course I am interested in gravitaing a very segmented partner group -eg those that want 'edu" to help youth co-create 3 billion new jobs so net generation can be most productve and sustaibable time for youth to be alive www.wholeplanet.tv
FRAMING
i am interested in assembling partners around the first moocs that attract a million young participants helping them to explore what they dont know because conventional powers have not alowed them to explore that
if you could choose one first source to start such a guided tour through both her or his life's work (and peer network permissions) who can else list what innovation conflicts they see coming up next who would you choose
would it be berners lee ?, would it be joi ito? negroponte? someone else? in my case it will be sir fazle abed because
1)after 7 years of networking hunderds of people to explore bangaldesh, my friends and i can urgently and actionably inetract with sir fazle abed "editorially" -he's chairing a series of events on will BRAC MOOC during last week of march out of dhaka;
2 his life's work at the world's largest ngo is 1 not wholly understood;
3 brac offers about 100 collaboration franchises that many developing communities desperately need to test; he is in his last 2 years ov working life and is desparate to share
4 he is a nice surprisingly modest but grounded person for someone responsible for over 100000 employees serving development of about 100 million peoples lives- in other words unlike our politicians he is one of the greatest public servants alive measured by truly exponential impact metrics, and it would be wise right now if his ideas on post 2015 goals were heard - for example he honeslty says over-focus funding evluation on a singular goal such as all children go to primary school is an error- in his organsiation's case it has got over a billion dollars for primary but next to nothing for job creating secondary
i think wiki could help but only if it was not edited by whomever has most time to re-edit it- for example wikipedia is ghastly on any future changing entry that needs what turing called the uniquely human process of recursion; and really only useful in stuff that is about historical fact and even then there are clear lobbies who swarm to rewrite history in their own view; in other words while technically wiki is a fascinating opportunity for letting a whole community access need to know information it doesnt have, socially a wiki needs contextually fit rules - and as yet i havent seen a wiki designed around eg the qualities of say a true 5000 perosn real open space which deliberately iterate through conflict resolution especially that caused by broken system caused by conventional wisdom over-ruling
wikimedia sounds interesting but what exactly is its purpose - and the more innovative its purpose what sort of social rules does it acuially edit in opposite ways to less innovative wikis
chris skype chrismacraedc email chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk
incidentally there is only one network. within my awareness, that has worked for over 30 years now on te sort of radical educational chnage that my dad and I first scripted as main advantage of net generation 30 yeras ago- its out of new zealand, primarily secondry stage, its at www.thelearningweb.net - and no if you had relied on putting teachers around a wiki you wouldnt have ever got here…

KERRY GLASGOWIS HUMANITY'S LAST BEST CHANCE - Join search for Sustainaabilty's Curricula
101ways-generation.docx 101 ways education can save the world WHAT IF WE DESIGNED LIFELONG LIVELIHOOD LOEARNING SO THAT so that teachers & students, parent & communities were empowered to be ahead of 100 times more tech rather than the remnants of a system that puts macihnes and their exhausts ahead of human life and nature's renewal 2016 is arguably the first time thet educatirs became front and centre to the question that Von neummn asked journalist to mediate back in 1951- what goods will peoples do with 100 times more tech per decade? It appears that while multilaterals like the Un got used in soundbite and twittering ages to claim they valued rifghts & inclusion, pubblic goods & safety, they fotgot theirUN tech twin in Genva has been practising global connectivity since 1865, that dellow Goats of V neumnn has chiared Intellectual Cooperation in the 1920s which pervesrely became the quasi trade union Unesco- it took Abedian inspired educations in 2016 ro reunite ed and tecah as well as health and trade ; 7 decades of the UN not valuing Numenn's question at its core is quite late, but if we dare graviate UN2 aeound this digital coperation question now we give the younger half if the world a chnace especially as a billion poorest women have been synchronised to deep community human development since 1970
Dear Robert - you kindly asked for a short email so that you could see if there is a CGTN anchor in east coast who might confidentially share views with my expectation of how only Asian young women cultural movements (parenting and community depth but amplified by transparent tech in life shaping markets eg health, food, nature..) can return sustainability to all of us
three of my father's main surveys in The Economist 1962-1977 explain imo where future history will take us (and so why younger half of world need friendship/sustainable adaptation with Chinese youth -both on mainland and diaspora)
1962 consider japan approved by JF Kennedy: argued good news - 2 new economic models were emerging through japan korea south and taiwan relevant to all Asia Rising (nrxt to link the whole trading/supply chains of the far east coast down through hong kong and cross-seas at singapore)
1 rural keynsianism ie 100% productivity in village first of all food security- borlaug alumni ending starvation
2 supercity costal trade models which designed hi-tech borderless sme value chains- to build a 20 million person capital or an 8 million person superport you needed the same advances in engineering - partly why this second economic model was win-win for first time since engines begun Glasgow 1760 ; potentially able to leverage tech giant leaps 100 times ahead; the big opportunity von neumann had gifted us - knowhow action networking multiply value application unlike consuming up things
1976 entrepreneurial revolution -translated into italian by prodi - argued that future globalisation big politics big corporate would need to be triangularised by community scaled sme networks- this was both how innovation advancing human lot begins and also the only way to end poverty in the sense of 21st C being such that next girl born can thrive because every community taps in diversity/safety/ valuing child and health as conditions out of which intergenerational economic growth can spring
in 1977 fathers survey of china - argued that there was now great hope that china had found the system designs that would empower a billion people to escape from extreme poverty but ultimately education of the one child generation (its tech for human capabilities) would be pivotal ( parallel 1977 survey looked at the futures of half the world's people ie east of iran)

IN MORE DETAIL TECH HUMAN EXPONENTIALS LAST CHANCE DECADE?
- we are in midst of unprecedented exponential change (dad from 1960s called death of distance) the tech legacy of von neumann (dad was his biographer due to luckily meeting him in his final years including neumann's scoping of brain science (ie ai and human i) research which he asked yale to continue in his last lecture series). Exponential risks of extinction track to mainly western top-down errors at crossroads of tech over last 60 years (as well as non transparent geonomic mapping of how to reconcile what mainly 10 white empires had monopoly done with machines 1760-1945 and embedded in finance - see eg keynes last chapter of general theory of money); so our 2020s destiny is conditioned by quite simple local time-stamped details but ones that have compounded so that root cause and consequence need exact opposite of academic silos- so I hope there are some simple mapping points we can agree sustainability and chinese anchors in particular are now urgently in the middle of
Both my fatherwww.normanmacrae.netat the economist and I (eg co-authoring 1984 book2025 report,retranslated to 1993 sweden's new vikings) have argued sustainability in early 21st c will depend mostly on how asians as 65% of humans advance and how von neumann (or moores law) 100 times more tech every decade from 1960s is valued by society and business.
My father (awarded Japan's Order of Rising Sun and one time scriptwriter for Prince Charles trips to Japan) had served as teen allied bomber command burma campaign - he therefore had google maps in his head 50 years ahead of most media people, and also believed the world needed peace (dad was only journalist at messina birth of EU ) ; from 1960 his Asian inclusion arguments were almost coincidental to Ezra Vogel who knew much more about Japan=China last 2000 years ( additionally cultural consciousness of silk road's eastern dynamics not golden rule of Western Whites) and peter drucker's view of organisational systems
(none of the 10 people at the economist my father had mentored continued his work past 1993- 2 key friends died early; then the web turned against education-journalism when west coast ventures got taken over by advertising/commerce instead of permitting 2 webs - one hi-trust educational; the other blah blah. sell sell .sex sell. viral trivial and hate politicking)
although i had worked mainly in the far east eg with unilever because of family responsibilities I never got to china until i started bumping into chinese female graduates at un launch of sdgs in 2015- I got in 8 visits to beijing -guided by them around tsinghua, china centre of globalisation, a chinese elder Ying Lowrey who had worked on smes in usa for 25 years but was not jack ma's biographer in 2015 just as his fintech models (taobao not alibaba) were empowering villagers integration into supply chains; there was a fantastic global edutech conference dec 2016 in Tsinghua region (also 3 briefings by Romano Prodi to students) that I attended connected with great womens education hero bangladesh'sfazle abed; Abed spent much of hs last decade hosting events with chinese and other asian ambassadors; unite university graduates around sdg projects the world needed in every community but which had first been massively demonstrated in asia - if you like a version of schwarzman scholars but inclusive of places linking all deepest sustainability goals challenges
and i personally feel learnt a lot from 3 people broadcasting from cgtn you and the 2 ladies liu xin and tian wei (they always seemed to do balanced interviews even in the middle of trump's hatred campaigns), through them I also became a fan of father and daughter Jin at AIIB ; i attended korea's annual general meet 2017 of aiib; it was fascinating watching bankers for 60 countries each coming up with excuses as to why they would not lead on infrastructure investments (even though the supercity economic model depends on that)
Being a diaspora scot and a mathematician borders (managers who maximise externalisation of risks) scare me; especially rise of nationalist ones ; it is pretty clear historically that london trapped most of asia in colomisdation ; then bankrupted by world war 2 rushed to independence without the un or anyone helping redesign top-down systems ; this all crashed into bangladesh the first bottom up collaboration women lab ; ironically on health, food security, education bangladesh and chinese village women empowerment depended on sharing almost every village microfranchise between 1972 and 2000 especially on last mile health networking
in dads editing of 2025 from 1984 he had called for massive human awareness by 2001 of mans biggest risk being discrepancies in incomes and expectations of rich and poor nations; he suggested that eg public broadcast media could host a reality tv end poverty entrepreneur competition just as digital media was scaling to be as impactful as mass media
that didnt happen and pretty much every mess - reactions to 9/11, failure to do ai of epidemics as priority from 2005 instead of autonomous cars, failure to end long-term carbon investments, subprime has been rooted in the west not having either government nor big corporate systems necessary to collaboratively value Asian SDG innovations especially with 5g

I am not smart enough to understand how to thread all the politics now going on but in the event that any cgtn journalist wants to chat especially in dc where we could meet I do not see humans preventing extinction without maximising chinese youth (particularly womens dreams); due to covid we lost plans japan had to relaunch value of female athletes - so this and other ways japan and china and korea might have regained joint consciousness look as if they are being lost- in other words both cultural and education networks (not correctly valued by gdp news headlines) may still be our best chance at asian women empowerment saving us all from extinction but that needs off the record brainstorming as I have no idea what a cgtn journalist is free to cover now that trump has turned 75% of americans into seeing china as the enemy instead of looking at what asian policies of usa hurt humans (eg afghanistan is surely a human wrong caused mostly by usa); a; being a diaspora scot i have this naive idea that we need to celebrate happiness of all peoples an stop using media to spiral hatred across nations but I expect that isnt something an anchor can host generally but for example if an anchor really loves ending covid everywhere then at least in that market she needs to want to help united peoples, transparency of deep data etc
