In a move towards greener transportation, Bally also visited BYD (Build Your Dream), one of the world's largest electric vehicle manufacturers. Through discussions with BYD's Chairman x Founder Wang Chuanfu, the President extended an invitation for the company to consider investing in Zambia, highlighting the country's abundant mineral resources that could support the production of electric vehicle batteries x components.

On May 23, 2022, at a press conference in Tokyo, President Biden said the US would defend Taiwan if provoked by China, asserting, “that’s the commitment we made.” 

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin noted that the “one China” policy has not changed under the Taiwan Relations Act of 1979 which establishes diplomacy between China under the expectation that relations with Taiwan will be “peaceful.”

My latest Op-Ed for the Taipei Times. 

#Taiwan #China #US #UK #One China Policy #strategic ambiguity

[tomorrowusa]

This video from Australia's public broadcaster ABC News does a better job at explaining China's current economic meltdown than anything else I've read or seen about it.

The root of the problem is China's previous one child policy which lasted for about three decades. Though other factors certainly contributed to it.

Indirectly the demographic situation in China raises some issues which deserve more attention.

The conventional wisdom is that population growth is necessary for a healthy economy. But when a country achieves a certain level of prosperity, the birthrate tends to level off.

So one question which economists should address with more urgency is: Can a country, or even the world, maintain prosperity with a largely constant population?

Obviously human population cannot grow endlessly, that certainly isn't great for the environment or the climate.

The old and endless arguments over capitalism and socialism are ultimately linked to the concept of unending population growth. Such talk needs to be supplanted by discussion and research on how to maintain prosperity in an environmentally friendly way for a consistent population level while respecting democratic norms.

That latter bit about democracy is vital – and not just for touchy-feely reasons. It was the autocratic Communist Party of China which implemented the heavy-handed one child policy and encouraged a culture of mendacity which led to the current crisis. Any system which does not respect democratic rights is doomed to failure in the long run.

PROPS TO ABC AUSTRALIA: Just want to repeat my previous praise for ABC News Australia – the source of that excellent vid. The country punches above its weight with news and public affairs programming from its public broadcaster. It deserves a place on everybody's news menu. They have an app as well as a major presence on YouTube.

The former prime minister of Japan, Shinzo Abe, was shot. It looks very serious.  Abe has always been very friendly towards Taiwan. The two countries are friendly allies. I hope everything will be alright.

Consider current world news, I hope people who aren’t familiar with Asia international politics can resist any improper jokes or making this whole situation all about the English-speaking world again (I don’t want to make any example, but, you know those kinds... If you want to joke about your own government that’s fantastic. It’s not necessary to bring every other countries with it.)

#shinzo abe #asia politics #Japan #Taiwan #asia pacific #also some people have to understand some not every county’s parties divided into left and right like English speaking ones do #sometimes Asian countries have one right wing and another pro china ones #the right one can be a dick sometimes but it can be negotiated but the pro china ones are DANGEROUS #and sometimes those progressive policies are pushed by parties not right or left but just ones that’s more connected to the society atm #you can just wiki and decide you want to burn every right parties in the world but how about starting from your own #stop your everyone has to be just like ME attitude for just one second would be nice #some English speaking people are just showing off that they’re as ignorant and self centered EXACTLY like their president or PM #and consider themselves progressive because of that #tbh I find this attitude more colonialism than what they claimed to fight against #making memes online about things you half know won’t changed your own country’s political atmosphere #vote and engage in your local and national social movement are only ways

if china didnt consistently have objective evaluations similar to mine then id either start to doubt myself or doubt chinese policy-setters

#luckily have yet to find a meaningful reason to! #LFP - Hydrogen - Covid ... #obv there are some broader societal issues which i would prefer chinese policy makers to be more bold about #but they also have mechanisms im confident are capable of addressing those - social contradictions dont disappear overnight #& even if they didnt - not my country so itd more manifest as being less pro-china than rly ever being 'anti-china' #this is the sort of contradiction rubric which is more readily applicable to emerging novel situations instead of longstanding ones

Chinese men: “Why aren’t women having kids?” Chinese women: “Aren’t we getting poorer with each child we have?”

28-year-old Joy Yu’s parents each had three siblings. As they were growing up in the 1970s, the Chinese government started to limit the number of babies born.

Government statistics show on average a woman in China went from having about three babies in the late 1970s to just one.

Four decades on, China’s leaders are asking women to have three children again, which doesn’t sit well for Yu, an only child.

“For me to give birth to three children, my future husband must be rich enough to make sure I can live well without a job. This is a big challenge,” Yu said.

Last year, China’s population dropped for the first time in six decades by 850,000. That still leaves the country with 1.41 billion people but if the decline continues, there will be multiple impacts on the economy.

One-child policy

China began enforcing birth limits in the late 1970s when the country was poor and there were too many mouths to feed.

In a Chinese propaganda film called the Disturbance of Gan Quan Village, the birth restrictions were justified on economic grounds.

“We should put our energy into getting rich rather than keep having children,” says one woman in the film.

She’s sitting among a group of women picking corn kernels off the cob. “Aren’t we getting poorer with each child we have,” she says. The rest of the group nods in agreement.

Chinese leaders enforced, sometimes brutally, the so-called one-child policy in 1979, just as the country was coming out of the tumultuous Cultural Revolution.

“The post-[Chairman] Mao leadership thought that economic development would be the new basis for the party’s political legitimacy and based on pseudo-scientific and demographic projections, limiting birth to one child per married heterosexual couple,” said Yun Zhou, an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Michigan.

There were exceptions. Some ethnic minority groups could have up to three children. People from rural areas could try for a second child if their first-born was not a boy. Later, if both parents had no siblings they could have two children. Starting in 2016, China raised the birth limit for everyone to two children, but there was no sustained baby bump.

Obstacles

Yu said she had opportunities her parents never had because she grew up without siblings. She attended one of China’s top colleges and her parents are able to help her with a down payment on a pricey property in Shanghai if she so desires.

Still, Yu said over an Italian meal in Shanghai, she is not even sure she wants to get married or have children.

Raising children in China is expensive. Also, the work of raising children, like in many countries, falls disproportionately on women. Those demands would be hard to juggle with China’s long work hours. A six-day work week is standard in many sectors.

Other people have complained of being penalized in the workplace for being mothers.

“Women are being forced back to the home to increase births. It is like my body isn’t mine.”

Only-child, Joy Yu

Global impact

Fewer people might mean slower growth in China, which will be felt by the U.S. and beyond.

“They’ve now become, you know, the center of the global manufacturing superhighway and are typically the largest contributor to growth every year,” said Scott Kennedy with the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington D.C.

Chinese officials often credit the so-called one-child policy for preventing over 400 million births, but some analysts say China’s population would have declined regardless.

“It’s just simply a rule across all countries, that as you urbanize, and as you get a more educated female population that enters the workforce, fertility numbers fall,” Kennedy said.

China’s birth restrictions merely sped up that trend and made the fertility rate drop dramatically and unevenly. The traditional preference for boys in Chinese families combined with the birth limits and ease of access to abortion has led to a massive gender imbalance.

Chinese government statistics show in 2020 for every 100 women there are 105 men, whereas the global ratio is one-to-one. 

Attempted incentives

To encourage more births, the Chinese government has dangled a mix of carrots and sticks — cash incentives, tax breaks, pledging to lower the cost of children’s education, and making it harder for couples to divorce.

“Now, the government organizes matchmaking events, and it’s a mission just like when it enforced the one-child policy. This is so terrifying,” Yu said. “Women are being forced back to the home to increase births. It is like my body isn’t mine.”

A backdrop of gendered violence

Sometimes, the government is asked to step in, but officials are instead accused of a cover up.

For example, when a woman was found chained up in a far-flung village after having given birth to eight children, it triggered a discussion on human trafficking. But efforts by local journalists and concerned citizens to verify the details of this woman’s life independently have been repeatedly blocked by local officials. That includes an attempt by pioneering lawyer Li Zhuang earlier this year. He wrote a post about the difficulties he encountered, which was later deleted.

In northern China’s Tangshan city, a group of men savagely beat some women at a restaurant. The incident provoked a public outcry and while officials have punished the men and dismissed some police officers, the women have not been seen in public since. Officials were accused of suppressing the discussion about violence against women.

Even women in wealthy cities like Shanghai said they could identify with the victims in the reports.

“Those reports encapsulate a sense of gendered precarity that speaks to women in [a] deeply patriarchal and gender unequal society,” social demographer Zhou said.

Economic costs

The number of Chinese workers is already declining; according to the World Bank, in 2001, China had 10 workers to support one retiree.

“In 2020, that was down to five working folks for each retiree and by 2050 it’ll be down to two,” Kennedy said.

He believes China still has time to offset the effects of population decline, including by boosting productivity, increasing the retirement age and lifting restrictions on people from rural areas to freely settle in cities with their families.

“I don’t think the problem has become so severe that demography is destiny, and China is destined to radically slow down and its chances of becoming an economic superpower breaking out of the middle income trap have been dashed,” Kennedy said.

“[But] these are pretty significant challenges.”

If you don't mind me asking, your aunt who threw a divorce party, was she being abused by him? Also, is this a black aunt or an asian aunt and is it common in those communities to do things like that?

i don't mind at all. she's black and she wasn't being abused in terms of like her husband was hitting her or yelling at her but he cheated on her multiple times and got like 4 other women pregnant in a one year span. he's evil like nick cannon and most of my family would beat his ass on sight if he hadn't moved across the country. as for it being common in any specific community... i don't think it's common in general lol my auntie is a very flashy woman and she wanted to show that she was happier in divorce than she was on her wedding night while being surrounded by people who support and love her. have you ever seen the photos of nicole kidman after her divorce got finalized from tom cruise? it's kind of like that but in party form.

#also i have no aunts or uncles or cousins on my dad's side of the family because he grew up in shanghai during #china's one child policy #so if i mention family that isn't a grandma or grandpa or my dad it's not from his side of the family #my mom's family is south sudanese and she has 6 siblings so as you can imagine i have a lot of relatives lol #that being said i am an only child lol

Great video to understand the protests in China & the reality that differs from the western imperialist media narrative ^^^

#🇨🇳 ♥️ 🇨🇳 ♥️ #I enjoy the reframing about the individualism of the USA #and the ‘’freedom’’ to catch and spread COVID killing massive amounts of people #vs collective liberation that protects the most vulnerable like zero COVID policy in China #my mom has COVID for the third time and with her past medical issues I really worry it could kill her one of these times #people saying lockdowns etc are against freedom reminds me of my idiot father saying wearing a seatbelt takes away freedom #Youtube

ppl are so fucking disgusting on how they treat and talk about chinese idols in the kpop industry. like ofc course kpop fans are gonna believe sinophobic anti-china/communist. like i absolutely stand behind everything that jackson wang has said about china. and i absolutely stand behind yixing cutting ties with companies who believed the lie about a “genocide” going on. both korean and international stans are so nasty towards chinese idols and i cannot express how disgusting it is to see and we should always call it out

#like idk i might get hate or lose followers/oomfs over this but i really don’t care bc as someone who considers themselves a communist #(and i continue to learn and grow as one) #i am aware that these are all fabricated lies on china to picture it as a bad guy #the chinese govt is NOT committing a genocide against the uyghur population that is literally a made up lie #any ’proof’ is fabricated by the u.s and it’s western allies to further anti china/communist sentiment #and also all these chinese idols being actively for the one china policy are good too bc HK IS RIGHTFULLY PART OF CHINA #like the only reason why hk is separated from china is bc of colonization from the UK #like the amount of ppl on twitter saying shit on chinese idols makes me so angry and upset like pls can y’all open your eyes to the lies #and propaganda that the west and its allies are feeding you!!!!! #mytxt
