orld’s largest collaboration of NGOS – designed round bottom-up economic models that help make charities sustainable wherever practical and which in pre-digital era to 1996 have innovated big data small conditional giving (targeted so recipients graduate round self-sustaining livelihoods which also build communities resilience/self-capacity)
BRAC was Established 1972, by Sir Fazle Abed, previously Shell’s national CEO for the nation of East Pakistan, within the first year of the new nation of Bangladesh -8th most populous nation, originally poorest. Core to Muslim S Asia bordered to west and north by India and east by Myanmar
.As a formal constitution, BRAC was founded 11 years ahead of Grameen Bank though the 1970s was a decade in which both Muhammad Yunus and Sir Fazle tested many ideas concerned with empowering village women and their urgent challenges to end their children’s death by famine and by dehydration, as well as failure to develop mind and body during the first 1000 days of infancy
Overall, BRAC’s innovations empower Bangladesh rural partnership solutions celebrating female networks:
Goal 2 solutions to end hunger pioneered rice science for small landowners with China and sme redesign of many agricultural value chains and food security for mothers and infants
Goal 3 developed rural health service from scratch. Sir Fazle Abed originally went to live and learn ion a 40 square mile area where a million people had been killed by cyclone and war, with all infrastructure lost. Among many live-saving solutions, oral rehydration was the first that brac tested fir replication across the rural nation. Scaling this in partnership with UNIXEF took BRAC’s networks nation wide and empowered mothers and daughters to network health (raising life expectancy from 30s to 60s- and establishing women as economic actors in a culture that had previously treated women as an underclass). Thanks to health service networking the modal rural family size was reduced from 9+ children to about 3 during brac’s first 20 years of generation)
Goal 4 brac was founded round type 2 education which in 2015 NPR estimates to have impacted livelihoods of 150 million peoples – ie peer to peer skills exchange across communities recovering from disaster and continuing with personal development (ed adults ending illiteracy) and development of interconnecting rural communities. Targeted initially at adults, BRAC’s primary education networks over its first 15 years connected village schooling for rural children- with many of brac’s teachers originating as graduates of its adult program. In billion dollar funding partnership with mainly DFID, BRAC emerged as the world’s largest non-government operator of schools (primary and pre-primary
During the pre-digital quarter century, BRAC can be seen to have targeted leading co-creation of the billion jobs that renew communities with focus on goals 1-5. In progressing these goals , BRAC also redesigned the value chain of financial services around women-owned SMEs. It is BRACs form of microfinance plus that offers an integrated model of banking for the poor which stays ahead of big banking's crises
1996: Technology partnerships (including mobile and microsolar) started to be planted in Bangladesh originally around Muhammad Yunus who was also asked by famous people like the Clintons and Queen Sofia to launch the annual millennial goals summit microcredisummit. BRAC took a much longer-term approach to global partnerships it selected.
A Bangladesh end poverty NGO cannot fundraise for international development. Out of the Netherlands BRAC formed a constitution so that it could go international mainly by choosing one (technology) partner who wished to support the development of a specific Muslim nation. Such partnership through the 2000s included Gates Foundation, George Soros (who selected several ;post-genocide nations), MastercardFoundation. Although the Clintons continued to mainly to promote partnerships around Muhmmad Yunis, when it came to last mile health networking they and jin kim and paul farmer found that BRAC was the origin of most solutions
Back in Bangladesh in 1999, Sir Fazle Abed started to found BRAC University. This is a for-profit university but aims to join new universities concerned with develop flagship curricula for the future of public service- The James Grant School of Public Health being BRAC’s first leading case
Technology partners who originally designed experiments with Muhammad Yunus soon found that if digital models are going to scale to bank for a billion or more unbanked, it was BRAC’s total SME design of financial services they needed to partner in Bangladesh. It also helped to focus on this concept to market from 2006 (as by then kit was clear that mobiles would offer universal forms of connectivity unimaginable in 1996). So partners of BRAC developed bkash to become the world’s largest cashless banking system (admittedly drawing on some coding and regulatory innovations that were first seen in Kenya’s MPESA
2008-2012 saw many pre-digital microfinance institutions that had been celebrated in the west fail to complete technology transformations without changes of ownership away from a majority pro-poor base. By 2012 BRAC felt confident enough to stage 2 roundtables at the japan embassy in Dhaka hosted by Sir Fazle Abed and Kamil Quadir on the good news that they now appeared to have sufficient global partners to develop bkash to continue girl empowerment and be the number 1 cashless bank. This milestone was reached by 2016 and in Apriil 2018 Jack Ma’s Ant Finance announced it was joining the partners of Bkash as Ant Finance also wanted to see banking for over 1 billion previously unbanked S Asians, and as Alibaba's Global Business School wants to be sure that its first cases clarify female developments whole truth.
In June 2018, the UN General Assembly reviewed how the 17 smartest goals of our human race BUT as yet have no financial access to the main liquid assets (300 trillion dollars worth) it was recommended that yet again Bangladesh can be one of the first places to explore how to urgently change this non-sustainable state of affairs…

Presentation:
Five hundred million and counting. China has more internet users than the entire population of the United States, and recently disclosed government plans are aimed at connecting over one billion users to 3G or 4G mobile networks by 2020. Not surprisingly, with a quickly proliferating internet use came the unprecedented growth of China’s e-commerce: a market which in 2014 reached a net worth of over 440 billion USD. Despite facing innumerable competitors, it comes as no surprise that companies such as Alibaba and JD are making sizable profits, attracting China’s increasingly urban population to their online stores.
Yet, as argued by Tsinghua University Professor Ying Lowrey, focusing on success stories of everyday online retail may not do justice to a much broader phenomenon that is currently taking China by storm.
#47 2
According to Prof. Lowrey, in fact, Alibaba is doing much more than dominating over China’s e-commerce landscape; rather, it is allowing the country’s overall economy to grow by means of a new economic model – one based on “unleashing grassroots entrepreneurship”.
At the very heart of this innovative model lies the expertise of small retailers, manufacturers, artisans, and farmers eager to expand their market by turning locally-sourced goods (or agricultural produce) into commodities available nationwide, if not internationally.
Often times, however, China’s most geographically dispersed peoples pay the price of living away from urban centers by not having access to the technology that would allow their business to grow. Small business owners and entrepreneurs thus find themselves stuck in their local reality, often having to deal with a stagnant market that leaves no room for progress and innovation.
“That’s when Alibaba comes in”, commented Prof. Lowrey. After claiming the record for the world’s largest US-listed initial public offering last year, in fact, Alibaba decided to ensure its further development by investing over 10 billion RMB in what became known as the company’s ‘Rural E-Commerce Strategy’ – an initiative meant to give greater visibility to rural entrepreneurs. At the time, the e-commerce giant invested in 1000 counties across Mainland China, while kick-starting micro financing projects in a total of 100,000 villages for the establishment of so-called “Taobao Village Stations”. Each Taobao Village Station “would then be equipped with the technology and infrastructure necessary to allow each community, however small, to be connected to the internet in a fast and secure way”, Prof. Lowrey explained. Statistics have shown that the establishment of Taobao Villages around China lead to astounding results: by June 2014, the population of China’s rural netizens had grown by 28.2%, 84.6% of whom mainly rely on mobile internet services.

Addressing the question of what made Alibaba’s visions of net-preneurship possible in rural China, Prof. Lowrey mentioned Alibaba’s shift to Big Data technology and the establishment of AliCloud. In Lowrey’s view, “the greater a company’s computing power, the greater its possibility to join the e-commerce community in an efficient way”. This is certainly true for the Chinese e-commerce juggernaut; at present, in fact, Alibaba’s servers support the capacity of 17 million website access per minute. Greater computing power thus equips “a country, a business, a school, or even an individual” with competitive advantages that become all the more crucial within the e-commerce realm. Today, after having switched to Big Data and having reaped the benefits of the use of AliCloud, Alibaba hopes for Chinese businesses to move away from IT (information technology) systems to DT (data technology) ones. This much needed structural change, Lowrey argues, would eventually allow Chinese businesses to perform even more complex tasks, such as “implementing systems for the traceability of agricultural products” and improve the overall security of foodstuffs sold across China. At the same time, greater traceability would possibly lead to the emergence of what Lowrey defines ‘the invisible moral standard’, whereby producers and manufacturers feel compelled to provide the best service they can offer and selling the best products, while not allowing counterfeit ones to enter the e-marketplace.
As Big Data helped Alibaba bring the “Rural E-Commerce Strategy” to its full realization, the company now seeks to “employ the same technology to increase its competitiveness on a global scale, alongside promoting cross-border”, Prof. Lowrey said. In fact, Alibaba’s new long term vision consists in “fostering a collaborative e-ecosystem of various international partners that will serve the world’s 2 billion consumers with the most highly efficient logistic services at the company’s disposal”. Seeing this vision fully take shape may require a decade of efforts on Jack Ma’s side; yet, the prospect of giving rise to an economic system that is almost entirely based on the success of smaller-scale entrepreneurs (“mass flourishing”) worldwide is too rewarding for Alibaba not to continue following its development strategies in the foreseeable future.
For the time being, what is certain is that the growing popularity of net-preneurship initiatives will continue fostering China’s “willingness, capability and aspiration to innovate” – the fundamental driving force behind every successful economy.
Q&A:
Responding to a question on what could be identified as Alibaba’s key to success, Lowrey spoke about the ‘Alibaba Way’ by paraphrasing a famous Chinese proverb: “Give people a day’s profits, and they’ll eat for a day. Teach people how to do business, and they’ll thrive for life”. The core of Alibaba’s competitive strategy, therefore, lies in the company’s ability to empower entrepreneurs at across all levels of society. Lowrey calls this “growing by unleashing”, and believes Alibaba has gone to great lengths in its effort to improve China’s contemporary business culture.
Addressing a question on the challenges that the ‘Alibaba-model’ may face in the foreseeable future, Professor Lowrey argued that China’s leading e-commerce firm always seeks new strategies to favor its future development, and it is thus likely to deal with potential with relative ease. Further, when asked to elaborate on what Alibaba’s future might entail, Lowrey argued that the results obtained upon having implemented the ‘Rural E-Commerce Strategy” are indicative of how the company should continue providing support to small businesses and invest in micro-finance projects across China. “Alibaba knows that society needs constant innovation”, Lowrey said, “and I hope it will be able to hold on to that principle”. Yet, if ever there was a concrete obstacle for Alibaba and the realization of its visions, that may come from three parts: one is the State’s pervasive bureaucracy, or its excessively tight regulations; the second one is the severe competition from domestic and international markets; and the third is themselves. As media has noticed that Alibaba has involved in very intensive capital operations in purchasing businesses from all spectumes. I am a little worried about the remaining impact of 20th century Wall Street on Alibaba that might lead to a direction foucing on short-term profit gaining rather than the long term wellbeing.

The Alibaba Way: Unleashing Grassroots Entrepreneurship to Build the World’s Most Innovative Internet Company, The World Edition of English by McGraw Hill Educational Press. January 2016. The book is listed in THE GLOBAL BUSINESS THOUGHT LEADER SERIES. The book addresses the function of public goods & services by private Internet companies. These companies enable grassroots entrepreneurship and facilitate job creations in the society.
“Business Creation is Job Creation: Estimating Entrepreneurial Jobs,” using several large databases in the US, the paper empirically demonstrates that in the process of creating businesses, entrepreneurs not only create jobs for others, but most importantly for their own. The paper estimates that only about 1/4 of new jobs go to “employed workers” and the rest 3/4 belong to “self-employed entrepreneurs.” The Wall Street Post, the Harvard Business Review and many other media across the USA cited the paper. The paper was presented at the 2011 American Economic Association Annual Conference in Denver.
“An Examination of Entrepreneurial Effort,” a seminal theoretical paper presented at the 2006 American Economic Association Annual Conference in Boston. Using neo-classical economics framework, the paper explains: 1) why do entrepreneurs create businesses; 2) what the role of entrepreneurial effort is in the macroeconomy; 3) what the role of government is in the allocation of entrepreneurial efforts; and 4) what the role of “Initial Capital” is in the allocation of entrepreneurial efforts.
“Business Density, Entrepreneurship and Economic Well-Being,” research paper presented at the 2005 American Economic Association Conference in Philadelphia. Using the US 50-states data, this paper is the only paper known relating business pervasiveness to people’s economic wellbeing. The paper estimates that increasing 1% of business density escalates personal income, household income and tax revenue by more than 1%. Especially, the test indicates the impact of women business ownership to be more robust in improving economic well-being.

Professor William Baumol has systematically introduced the theory of economic growth based on innovation and entrepreneurship into the field of mainstream microeconomics: the first is his 1993 book Entrepreneurship (Translation and Publishing of Wuhan University Press) The second time is the "Growth of Capitalism Growth in 2002 - Free Market Innovation Machine" (translated and published by CITIC Publishing House); the third time is the microeconomic theory of innovation that my colleague and I translated together. (will be published by Gezhi Publishing House).
These unremitting efforts come from Baumol's regret for life, that is, innovative entrepreneurs are the protagonists of creating modern technology and civilization. Economics lacks a highly abstract mathematical analysis and rigorous analytical derivation. He often quotes the British saying "there is no Hamlet of the Danish prince" to describe the situation in which mainstream economic growth theory ignores research entrepreneurs.

How much credit can be given to entrepreneurship for the unprecedented innovation and growth of free-enterprise economies? In this book, some of the world's leading economists tackle this difficult and understudied question, and their responses shed new light on how free-market economies work--and what policies most encourage their growth.The contributors take as their starting point William J. Baumol's 2002 book The Free-Market Innovation Machine (Princeton), which argued that independent entrepreneurs are far more important to growth than economists have traditionally thought, and that an implicit partnership between such entrepreneurs and large corporations is critical to the success of market economies.The contributors include the editors and Robert M. Solow, Kenneth J. Arrow, Michael M. Weinstein, Douglass C. North, Barry R. Weingast, Ying Lowrey, Nathan Rosenberg, Melissa A. Schilling, Corey Phelps, Sylvia Nasar, Boyan Jovanovic, Peter L.

ar as does amy's friend yuxuan
'
what i dont understand is any of the politics of the various ruling families and foundations of qatar or UAE'
what i know is
WISE Initiative about 6 years ago qatar launched the wise education laureates and summit and chose my hero sir fazle abed of brac as its first laureate- ironically both sir fazle and I wish desperately that microcreditsummit had called itself microeducation summit - it would been much better for the youth queen sofia cares about most if it had which is why wise at madrid is now a big deal albeit probably too late to save much of europes youth from being the jobless generation
WISE Initiative
WISE is an international, multi-sectoral platform for creative thinking, debate and purposeful action that contr...
while unable to navigate exactly what eg qatar wants i have found almost everything that happens within wise very exciting and its hosts are to be congratulated for opening a space to education that wasnt previously there
it commissions a year of research around its laureates and tries to organise youth projects - there's a lot at their web
18 months ago wise announced that instead of a big annual summit out of qatar this would become once every 2 years but they would co-sponsor big meeting with other nations-
i went to the one in beijing which qin joined me at (amy was doing her own thing)
what is clear is that qatar joins up with places which are not ruled by teachers monopolies and having too many old experts - therefore the wise networks are potentially an extraordinary win-win with the education commission and with what I believe china has to see education transform round if the majority of its half a billion under 30s are ever to have good livelihoods
also there can be a huge synergy between wise and all those researching what open learning exists - which we have found intel is in the middle of and know who leads thios out of new york - i trust all the open learning connections out of new york connect largely with john kiel's networks and fablabs etc- they connect with what we want to make baltimore the number 1 hub in black -and - america of every color
i welcome other opinions though assume we all know by know that urgent changes are needed to both finacial inclusion and education if any of the sustainability goals are to be real and not endless greenwashing

HOW MASS SME FRANCHISING CAN CHANGE JOB CAPACITY OF GLOBAL MARKET SECTORS LOCALLY (related concept 1984 search for first 30000 microfranchises of end poverty and netgen sustainability]
MULTIPLE SECTOR OVERVIEW
C01 Community-based incubators (eg CEO space) – yes but is this anchored in college, bank, health as mother of all public services or mobile?
C02 Women-owned businesses – partners Woman’s Online and Education Network and The Women’s Information Network
C03 Cloud Computing mobilization- CC is the practice of using a network of remote servers hosted on the Internet to store, manage, and process data, rather than a local server or personal computer.
Cloud computing offers lower start-up costs, significant savings§ and operating efficiencies to small and self-employed businesses.
C04 Conscious Direct-Care (health by the community)
C05 Real estate SME for sustaining community and families
C06 Business Ministries The largest social network in America, 327,000 churches, is the one that is the least prepared for a joblessness— the need is great. Families broken by§ unemployment, poverty and financial hopelessness justify development of business ministries.
C07 Capital to the Base-of-the-Pyramid
C08 How a nation like USA chooses internetaional investors to 2025 – will they go way above zero sum empowering youth worldsocialtrade?

Curriculum of Cloud Computing: This educational program is evolving around the new evolution of the global World Wide Web called “cloud computing”. The technology research firm Gartner Inc. published its survey of 2,000 Chief Information Officers (CIOs) reporting that “cloud computing” is their top spending priority while overall spending plans for traditional computer equipment and personnel have been flat or decreasing.

how to MOOC, .I would suggest items below plus any questions he wants to ask
If you see elements of this presentation which you yourself want more debate on please say
==============================================
MOOC Recommendation to BRAC
1 Most basic skill of MOOC is presenting training in 10 minute module vitually- what?
2 Simplest case to study is Khan Academy – why know about KA & Coursera?
3 Two questions to ask to maximise BRAC value chain of mooc and whole internet
3.1 -what 10 minute modules do millions of youth most need to interact
3.2 How do the 10 minute modules link together in a whole course
4 Recommendation- start up a 10 million youth-training-outreach
Lab wherever you do social labs or lead bottom-up practices .( Software to
start lab to produce same training format as khan is only $300 per licence)
5 What BRAC brand can scale that no other partner network can? How to
linkin to post 2015 millennium goals summits that value open job creating
education as critical collaboration multiplier
6 Debate – these recommendations come from 42 years of
other way round experiments in online learning thanks to Norman Macrae's
lifetime editorial interest in this future. Expensive (top-down) professionals
will advise different starting points to MOOC. Depends how much you want to
always be in editorial control of your own training content and how nearly
free you want hundreds of millions of youth interactions to spread.
Is this the curriculum Bangladesh, Chinese and Japanese youth need most? your view s of most needed free curricula welcome!!
-------------------------------------------
FAST TRACK-Someone like Taddy Blecher could give sir fazle eg a telephone
briefing on that fom leading practioner viewpoint. Someone like Japan Ambassador could
reconvene meeting on above with sir fazle and quadir brother and other
Bangla open tech wizards. If chemistry is good between sir fazle and say paul
farmer then they could both discuss how to mooc free nursing college. If its
good with say soros they could include aflatoun in a financial and currency
literacy curriculum. Sir Fazle should brainstorm which partners to mooc what
youth practice networks on first
OPTIONAL ADDITION
A former first lady of s.africa used to call dhaka the open university of microcredit.
Why not: one day worked youth can call BRAC the open university of everything
Since 1972 we have assumed a race is going on for peoples to free education
with big brothers who want the exact opposite. Currently MOOC is the
most urgent freedom challenge any entrepreneurial revolutionary can collaborate
around-by celebrating this now the triad of japan, china, bangladesh could live
up to dad's 1970s published vision in The Economist of Asian region saving
worldwide youth 1975-2075. My guess is Jack Ma may be a critical connector of
this but we need bangladeshi open tech wizards to brainstorm who…

Dear Professor Lowrey
Yuxuan and Amy's Friends (eg John Kiehl New York, Ian Ryder UK,:: Mostofa Dubai and Bangladesh, Maurice Rome, Vatucan University Youth) and I are trying to work out how to maximise win-wins between pro-youth markets designed by Jack Ma and Sir Fazle Abed
the education commission -launch at UN on 18 september appears to be a huge opportunity
If you (or your New York economics friends) see how this or other spaces can empower young people's opportunities to help linkin and celebrate such world record job creators. please tell me at any time.
Outside of Bangladesh, I cannot recall a meeting as inspiring as that with you last weekend.
Thanks
- China and Female Capitalism must-needs save youth's global village planet

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
nye:csis jan2020 dc the greatest debate help search 2025NOW.COM
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
