Good morning from London, where the FTSE 100 is pretty much exactly where it was at yesterday's close on what its safe to say looks like a pretty quiet end to a pretty busy week. The main story this week has been interest rates and specifically the different mood music being played on either side of the Atlantic. The US Federal Reserve, European Central Bank and Bank of England have all chosen to hold interest rates this week, but some have found the Fed's dovish tone a little confusing. Ipek Ozkardeskaya at Swissquote Bank points out the contrast between the resilient US economy adopting a dovish stance while faltering European economies hold onto a hawkish position give the impression that “something is amiss.“ Michael Hewson at CMC Markets agreed. He says “The contrast between the ECB's tone and the Fed's tone could not have been starker, and yet when you look at the numbers the divergence becomes even more bizarre… if anything the policy stances should be in reverse.” Over in Asia China has reported its fastest monthly expansion of industrial output in almost two years at 6.6%, with retail sales groeing 10.1%, as the world's second-largest economy continues to recover in fits and starts from the pandemic. And turning to equities now and there's no one FTSE100 listed stock that's done anything particularly dramatic so far, but outside the top 100 the trainline's share price is up 20% on news that the government is abandoning plans to build its own national rail app. And Naked Wines' share price is also up this morning, albeit slightly, after its half-year report revealed SOME progress in cutting costs and getting things moving in the right direction. #ProactiveInvestors #FTSE100 #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

Having existed through the glory and the doldrums of German wine, the VDP, the association of top wine growers in Germany, has set out to re-establish German wine as one of the finest in the world. With 20 years under its belt, the Grosses Gewachs (“GG”) system has elevated the status of dry German wines in a short time. Theresa Olkus, Managing Director, and Steffen Christmann, President, discuss the history, goals, and role of the VDP and how the GG classification is bringing quality back to dry German wine.

Named one of Forbes magazine's “30 Under 30,” he graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law School and holds a master's degree in international relations from the University of Chicago. ABOUT THE BOOK What did it take for the United States to become a global superpower? The answer lies in a missing chapter of American foreign policy with stark lessons for today. The cutthroat world of international politics has always been dominated by great powers. Yet no great power in the modern era has ever managed to achieve the kind of invulnerability that comes from being completely supreme in its own neighborhood. No great power, that is, except one—the United States. In We May Dominate the World, Sean A. Mirski tells the riveting story of how the United States became a regional hegemon in the century following the Civil War. By turns reluctant and ruthless, Americans squeezed their European rivals out of the hemisphere while landing forces on their neighbors' soil with dizzying frequency. Mirski reveals the surprising reasons behind this muscular foreign policy in a narrative full of twists, colorful characters, and original accounts of the palace coups and bloody interventions that turned the fledgling republic into a global superpower. Today, as China makes its own run at regional hegemony and nations like Russia and Iran grow more menacing, Mirski's fresh look at the rise of the American colossus offers indispensable lessons for how to meet the challenges of our own century.

Today: The province has passed the controversial Bill 60 that expands surgeries in private care clinics. Meanwhile, Ottawa has expelled Toronto-based Chinese diplomat Zhao Wei and in a tit for tat response, Beijing expelled Canadian diplomat Jennifer Lynn Lalonde from Canada's consulate HQ in Shanghai. And, Ottawa is also organizing a list of names of foreign labs and universities that pose a risk to Canada's national security. ---- CHINA-OTTAWA TENSIONS ESCALATE AS BOTH COUNTRIES EXPEL DIPLOMATS Libby Znaimer is now joined by Charles Burton, Senior Fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute and expert on Canada-China relations, Cheuk Kwan of the Toronto Association for Democracy in China, and Dr. Jeremy Paltiel, Professor of Politics, government and foreign policies of Asia (China and Japan) at Carleton University. Tensions continue to escalate between Ottawa and Beijing as Trudeau's government decided to expel Toronto-based Chinese diplomat Zhao Wei after a CSIS report revealed that Conservative MP Michael Chong and his family were targeted by the Chinese. As a response, China is sending our very own diplomat Jennifer Lynn Lalonde from the consulate in Shanghai. Meanwhile, the government is drafting a list of foreign labs and universities that pose a threat to Canada's national security. So, where does it all go from here? And what must be done in order for Canada and China's frosty relationship to improve? Listen live, weekdays from noon to 1, on Zoomer Radio!
Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Growing the Animal Advocacy Community in China - Engaging Stakeholders in Research for Improved Effectiveness, published by Jack S on April 25, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Summary This is the second in a series of blog/ forum posts that looks at the application of stakeholder-engaged research methods in EA-related cause areas. This post looks at how Good Growth has been applying these methods to supporting the community concerned about farmed animal welfare and alternative protein in China Improving research in the Chinese animal advocacy space should be a priority, in order to improve our theories of change and support the Chinese advocacy community We think that stakeholder-engaged research using mixed methods is particularly suitable for farmed animal welfare, community building, and alternative protein research in Asia, because there are large gaps in our theories of change, and a range of stakeholders whose input can provide value We describe two of our studies where we have used stakeholder-engaged methods to understand advocates and consumers in China These findings can help to refine the strategies and pathways of organisations focused on these cause areas We invite EAs to explore these methods. If you're interested in doing so reach out to us at team@goodgrowth.io or DM us (Jack or Jah Ying) on the EA forum Introduction In the last post, we introduced our perspective on stakeholder-engaged research methods we think might be neglected in EA, and we put the spotlight on some of our past research in the community building/ meta-EA area. To recap, too much research is produced without engaging the people who might use or be informed by it, reducing both the quality of the research and limiting the potential for impact on the world. To resolve this issues, we should find creative ways to involve various stakeholders, such as implementing organisations, policymakers, and the general public, throughout the process of producing and disseminating research. This is not a new idea. A variety of terms are used to describe the idea of doing research with stakeholders playing a significant role - some of the more well-known terms include Mode 2 research, research co-creation and community-based participatory research. We use the term stakeholder-engaged research to encompass all of these approaches. Stakeholder-engaged research is often connected with various kinds of qualitative research, such as ethnography, participant observation, in-depth interviews (structured, semi-structured or unstructured), and focus groups, where engagement is “built-in” to the methodology, but it can encompass quantitative methodologies, natural science and engineering. In this post and the next, we're going to look at Good Growth's current area of focus - farmed animal welfare - and the related field of alternative protein. Our work is focused on supporting the broader community of people working on animal advocacy in Asia - this post will focus specifically on our China research. We're using ‘animal advocacy/ animal advocates' as an umbrella term to refer to all communities trying to help animals, regardless of focus on rights/ welfare or wild/ farmed animals. Why Animals in Asia/ China? Animal welfare in Asia is an important and neglected cause area: Asia is home to over 40% of farmed land animals and produces over 85% of farmed fish, the majority of which are in China. On top of the enormous welfare impacts, the growing animal industry in the region also contributes significantly to the global risks of climate change and zoonotic pandemic risk. Despite this, Asian advocates only receive an estimated 7% of global animal advocacy funding, and Chinese advocates are particularly neglected. As well as addressing welfare directly, developing and promoting alternative protein is an incr...

Meanwhile, advocates are saying that this is having an impact on those who need to move in to these homes from the community. ---- HEALTH CANADA REVIEWING RSV VACCINES FOR SENIORS Libby Znaimer is joined by Dr. Barry Pakes, the medical officer of health for York Region and Dr. Dawn Bowdish, the Canada Research Chair in Aging and Immunity. In the news: Health Canada is reviewing a vaccine designed for Seniors to better protect them from RSV (or respiratory syncytial virus). Pediatric hospitals have been feeling the strain from patients coming in with the virus and there is growing concern from doctors that Seniors will be the next group to be at risk of hospitalization from RSV. ---- OTTAWA'S NEW INDO-PACIFIC POLICY & CHINA'S PROTESTS Libby Znaimer is joined by Charles Burton, Senior Fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute and expert on Canada-China relations as well as Dr. Jeremy Paltiel, Professor of Politics, government and foreign policies of Asia (China and Japan) at Carleton University. As part of Canada's new Indo-pacific policy, Ottawa has announced that it will be strengthening its national security's efforts to combat threats of foreign influence and disinformation campaigns. As part of this commitment, the federal government will be funding $230-million over the next five years to expand the country's intelligence and cyber security agencies. This comes a few weeks after foreign Affairs minister Mélanie Joly announced that Ottawa would be bolstering its trade ties with countries in the region as part of a strategy to reduce dependency on China. Meanwhile, China has been seeing protests from its own citizens and growing calls for the resignation of its leader Xi Xinping over COVID-19 lockdowns. Our guests react to the latest.

China's objective in recent years has been to establish a firm foothold in the Gulf region, as the country is highly reliant on Middle Eastern oil to fuel its economic growth. The Belt and Road Initiative, their new approach, is paving the road for them to attain their goal. Similarly, China has a different strategy, relying on soft power to develop favorable influence throughout the region. China wishes to deepen economic links with the Middle East, and soft power relationships can result in significant bilateral exchanges for both parties.In this episode, We are joined by Shaojin Chai, a professor of international relations at the University of Sharjah. He spent a lot of time thinking and writing about China's cultural, educational, and religious outreach to the Middle East. His specialization is International Studies, Modern Chinese History and Political Science.

About John: Rusty Gilbert is President and owner of JR Gilbert Energy LLC after serving more than 40-years with Chevron and Gulf Oil. In his last assignment, served as General Manager of new Technology Deployment and Adoption in Chevron Technology Ventures (CTV), successfully leading the implementation and use of externally developed innovative technology solutions across Chevron operations. In Pittsburgh, PA (2013-15), Rusty's team applied new technology to unconventional plays which reduced cost and increased performance. A rotational assignment in Cabinda-Angola (2010-12) involved mentoring CABGOC national staff to become proficient earth scientists. While in Business Development (2008-10), he led a major effort to provide a geologic understanding and model the subsurface, delineate reserves, and identify optimal development scenarios in preparation for a significant bid round in southern Iraq. Working out of TX & CA, held numerous leadership assignments in R&D which supported Chevron's worldwide shale plays as well as provided subsurface support for major capital projects. Other leadership assignments include exploration, production and new ventures campaigns in Alaska, California, Washington, Texas, Namibia, and southeast Asia (China, Bangladesh, Thailand, India, etc.). These efforts led to wells being drilled with some resulting discoveries and commercial development. Rusty has a BS degree, Honors, in geology from Rutgers University and a MS degree in geology from the University of Massachusetts in Amherst. Prior to graduate school he briefly worked in the environmental and water resource field. Outside of work, Rusty created the “Patriotic Colors” mobile app, which launched in 2018 with thousands of downloads on IOS & Android. The app offers patriotic overlays on new and existing photos accessible from your phone. He's also developed an e-commerce site for numerous originally designed patriotic products.

In this episode, I talked to Sebastian Strangio, Southeast Asia editor of The Diplomat and author of “In the Dragon's Shadow: Southeast Asia in the Chinese Century” book. We were trying to assess the Southeast Asia-China relationship by linking the COVID-19 pandemic with the current behaviors of ASEAN states towards China. Some questions raised during the interview such as whether Sebastian see any cautiousness felt by Southeast Asian leaders to the rising China's influence in the region and also which countries, he thinks is the best in addressing the Beijing-Washington rivalry. At the end of our conversation, I asked his thoughts on Indonesia's stance in engaging China and how will Jakarta-Beijing move forward in the nearer future under the Jokowi's administration. Moreover, I was a bit naughty and asked him whether China has brought any negative influences to Southeast Asia's democracies.

Clematis terniflora (sweet autumn clematis, sweet autumn virginsbower) is a plant in the buttercup family, Ranunculaceae. It is native to northeastern Asia (China, Japan, Korea, Mongolia, Russia (Siberia), Taiwan). It was introduced into the United States in the late 1800s as an ornamental garden plant, and has naturalized in many of the eastern states. It is considered a Category II invasive plant in Florida (north and central) and some other eastern states, meaning it is invading native plant communities but is not yet seen as displacing native species.

Hello!This episode is about the politics of the Asian diaspora. We explain why we named our podcast Time to Say Goodbye and update one another on quarantine pickling (to Maangchi or not to Maangchi?). We then tackle the more serious topic of Asian American politics: How might we move beyond “seat at the table,” professional-class concerns and embrace an “internationalist” perspective that looks to Asia?Andy tells us about his new book, published just last week, which leads to a brief discussion of scholarly trends and why Asian history—that of China and India, in this case—deserves to be studied not only through the lens of tradition and culture but also political economy.In the second half, we speak with Wilfred Chan, a freelance reporter, contributing writer at The Nation, and activist based in New York. Oh, and Andy’s former student! Check out Wilfred’s writing on the 2019 Hong Kong protests and the Lausan 流傘 collective, New York City’s “essential” food couriers, and the WHO’s costly discrimination against Taiwan.1:20 - We answer the burning question of why we’re called Time to Say Goodbye.

Hello everyone I am happy to be back with another show about the Land of the Snow Leopard Network. I interviewed Darla Hillard of the Snow Leopard Conservancy and Maria Azhunova, the newly elected leader of the Land of the Snow Leopard Network. Last year I interviewed the founder of the Snow Leopard Conservancy, Dr. Rodney Jackson where he explained what is happening in conservation of these cats. Today’s topic is more about the people coming together to not only protect these cats but protect their traditions. The Land of the Snow Leopard Network spans across 12 countries in Asia: China (where at least half of all wild snow leopards are believed to exist), Bhutan, Nepal, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Russia, Kyrgyz Republic, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Mongolia. As you can imagine this area is diverse in tradition, culture and political views. The Land of the Snow Leopard Network shares the voices of local stewards working in the same areas where snow leopards reside. In these indigenous communities the snow leopard is a symbol of endurance and indicator of the health of the high mountain ecosystems. Protectors and stewards of the land in each country are coming forward, reviving spiritual and cultural practices while educating their communities about the importance of saving the snow leopard. So I hope you enjoy this episode as Darla and Maria share their stories and the work they are doing. Photo Credit: Nicolas Villaume

Developments of the last days demonstrate that the potential to bring the world into a new era of peaceful economic progress is emerging, centered around the diplomacy and physical economic advances associated with China's New Silk Road (NSR) policy. The dynamic unleashed by the NSR, which Helga Zepp LaRouche has called the New Paradigm, has brought together the leading nations of Asia — China, India, Japan, South Korea — and Eurasian power Russia, into an alliance which is causing increasing panic among those still yearning for the days when the British Empire's geopolitics dominated every aspect of international relations.

Wilhem Gesenius, a German biblical critic and Semitic language scholar, commented that "The Arabians and other Asiatics called China Sin, or Tchin; the Chinese had no special name for themselves, but either adopted that of the reigning dynasty or some high-sounding titles. This view of 'Sinim' suits the context which requires a people to be meant 'from far,' and distinct from those "from the north and from the west." "And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared." – Revelation 16:12__________________________________________________ RIVER EUPHRATES God created the Euphrates River."The name of the third river is Tigris, the one that flows east of Asshur. And the fourth river is the Euphrates" (Torah: Bereshith / Genesis 2:14). The river of the same name marked one of the boundaries of the land promised by God to Abraham and to his descendants: Isaac, Jacob, and to the end of his seed line. In the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) it is often referred to simply as "The River" (ha-nahar). (Torah: Bereshith / Genesis 15:18). The Euphrates marks the north-eastern border of the land God promises to Abram: "To your descendants I give this land from the wadi of Egypt to the Great River, the river Euphrates" (Torah: Genesis 15:18 in the Jerusalem Bible) God tells the Israelites to go to the Promised Land: "Start out and make your way to the hill country of the Amorites and to all their neighbors in the Arabah, the hill country, the Shephelah, the Negeb, the seacoast, the land of the Canaanites, and the Lebanon, as far as the Great River, the river Euphrates." ( (Torah: Devarim / Deuteronomy 1:7). God (through Moses) promises the Israelites the Promised Land: "Every place where you set the soles of your feet shall be yours. Your borders shall run from the wilderness to the Lebanon and from the River, the river Euphrates, to the western sea." (Torah: Devarim / Deuteronomy 11:24). The Lord says "Your King will make peace among the nations; He will rule from sea to sea, from the Euphrates River to the ends of the earth." (Tanakh: Zechariah 9:10) THE GREAT EUPHRATES RIVER AND PROPHECY OF REVELATION 16:12 The great River Euphrates is the water boundary separating the Holy Land (promised by God to Moses, Abraham, Israel) from Asia to the East. Because of dams constructed in the last century to divert water for irrigation, there are at times little or no water in the river bed. The act of the sixth angel in pouring out his vial upon the River Euphrates may have more to do with soil impaction or alignment than hydrological forces. However, it could be that the Euphrates River―due to some kind of engineering or dredging―may be fed with a network of tributaries in the future. At any rate, regardless of the Euphrates having more or less water in the future, it will be a viable variable in the logistics of the future and the Eastern "region kings" who play a key part in end time prophecy. KINGS OF THE EAST In the last days their will be a major military, political, and economic force that arises from the East. This force will NOT be from just one national entity, but will be a confluence of several regional powers in the East ... and NOT from just the Pacific Rim. Direction in the Holy Bible is always oriented from Jerusalem, Israel. So these "kings of the east" can represent forces in the Near East, Middle East and/or Far East. This force may be an amalgamation of national and cultural social interests flowing together for advancement, protection, control and power. One or more of the region kings may be a separate entity, however, working either in cooperation with or separately from the other region kings. However, these region kings will move simultaneously or in approximation to or with each other. The timing will be in prophetical precision and It will be a synergistic force that will be in effect designed by God as "pawns" to bring about the establishment of His Kingdom on earth. However, even though this force from the East fits into the end time plans of Almighty God, the regional EPM (Economical - Political - Military) powers will NOT have as their goal(s) the service of God. They will in effect be drawn (inspired) by Satan to do his bidding. There are / will be several players in this field of "region kings." In the following discussion, we will review some of the major players; however, keep in mind, that any power adjacent to the Euphrates River and beyond (easterly) may be a candidate for this role. This would include present day Iraq, Syria, Eastern Turkey, the southern steppes of Russia (from the former USSR), Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, China, Mongolia, North and South Korea. We will now discuss some of the more poignant players at this present time from the "region kings" of the East. [Note: Iran will not be included in this discussion because, even though it could be included in the area of the region kings of the East, this section is more directed to the area of "Sino Asian Emergence." Iran is covered in several other sections of the U of E site: Israel and Middle East Islam and Its Teachings Turkey and Word War Three SOME IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT CHINA China's Silk Road Resurrected. “One Belt, One Road.” 21st Century version of the ancient Silk Road traveled by Marco Polo. President Xi Jinping [chi-jin-ping] hosts the so-called Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) Summit. The BRI is Xi’s $1 trillion – with a "T" -- plan to build state of the art roads, ports, pipelines and airports that will link China to 110 countries around the world and make Beijing the epicenter of world trade for decades to come. The initiative is a brazen attempt to seize worldwide economic leadership from the United States. Xi sees an opportunity to bind emerging trade partners to him by offering them access to China’s vast consumer market. Xi is offering a lot of money and infrastructure to a lot of recipient countries who have a pressing need for their economies to be modernized. China is effectively applying soft power in a very visible way. It wants to become what the USA has been until now – the leader of the world economy. Among the massive infrastructure projects being offered to potential partners, China wants to build a port in Pakistan, complete a China-to-Myanmar pipeline, giving it access to Middle East crude oil, and dredge and deepen the historic Greek port of Piraeus. For Xi, this means showing that the rest of the world is girded to China, and that all roads lead to Beijing. ‒ Reference: John Moody, Executive Vice President, Executive Editor for Fox News China's economy will be larger than that of the USA by 2030. China controls: The Port of Long Beach (on the West Coast of USA); Both entrances to the Panama Canal; and, The key NAFTA Mexican port city of Lazaro Cardenas at the southern tip of the North American Union highway. China and many other countries have wanted to take away control from the USA for many years. Prohibition of imports of US products are now in place unless they are based on intellectual property that is developed and/or owned in China. U.S. products cannot be sold in China unless companies give China their current patents plus their research and development of new products. The longtime consensus among government and business elites has been that as China became richer, its interests would become more like the FREE world. It didn't work out that way because China is a Communist totalitarian country striving for military and economic superiority and still tortures, kills, and imprisons Christians. In 1949 China began to eliminate all religious entities from their borders. When Mao Zedong ("Chairman Mao") took over power he referred to religion as "the opium of the mind." China, today, is still one of the most repressive forces of Christianity in the world, with many Christians belonging to the "house" churches being tortured and imprisoned. NOTE: The "house" churches are those NOT registered with the government. In an attempt to control Christians, the government requires that all churches register with them. The government controlled church is called the "Three-Self Patriotic Movement." Millions of born again believers are part of the "house" churches and are NOT aligned with the government authorized churches. There are about 12 million registered believers in the official "State" churches and over 100 million believers in the non-registered "house" churches. The Chinese government tells the registered "3 Self" churches: 1. Where they can worship; 2. Who can worship (only those over 18); and, 3. What they can teach. REASONS FOR THE RISE OF CHINA IN THE WORLD MARKETPLACE President Richard Nixon opened trade agreements with China in 1972. After Chairman "Murderer" Mao died in 1976, certain of the Communist leaders realized that to succeed in world market share they must attempt to pattern what the leading non-communist nations were doing. These leaders realized they must move toward "capitalism" to become competitive in world trade, but they decided to "code" their terminology in new language so they would still be identified as communistic. New terms, such as "market socialism" and "socialism with Chinese characteristics" were coined. The new economic leaders decided upon a four pronged plan of attack to help them become competitive in world trade. This plan was known as the "Four Modernizations" and included: Agriculture Industry Technology Military They realized that their previous programs of mass starvation, torture, forced labor, and personal regimentation were achieving the opposite of motivating the "collective" Chinese people. In 1978 Deng Xiaoping became the key Communist leader in China mainly because of his economic expansionist plans leading China out of an abysmal position of market share production. Having been a sluggard in production due to Marxist / socialist control of manufacturing, China had been far behind the leading nations of the world until then. China decided to model other successful nations in the Far East: Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore. These countries were referred to as the East Asian Tigers, and all of which were non-Communist, free market economies. As an indicator of how far China has come in world trade, at this time the USA purchases 40% of its consumer goods from the Chinese. China now produces two-thirds of the world's DVD's, photocopiers, shoes, and microwaves ... and that's just a small part of their production landscape. As for information and communications technology, China has overtaken the USA. And, China is expanding its export market from the USA, Europe, and Japan to Latin America, Africa, and third world countries. For example, China’s foreign investment in Africa has increased from $1.5 million in 1991 to $1.2 billion in 2005. The KEY move right now by China is to obtain security in oil and energy imports to supply its great expansion in production and standard of living. China is investing money in oil and energy projects in countries where the West (USA, EU, etc) places sanctions. (For example, countries where US companies are NOT allowed to do business.) China is also building factories close to raw materials in African countries, and providing them with foreign aid, military equipment, building infrastructure, and forming favored agreements to foster friendship. (See the News Release in "Other Resources" below as an example.) Major leaps in banking have been effected by China. Even Alan Greenspan said China's central bankers “just a few years removed from isolated central planning, have become major players in operating the global financial system.” Chinese central bankers now play important roles in the BIS (Bank for International Settlements) in Switzerland and in the IMF (International Monetary Fund). With all its increase in productivity, China has NOT become less of a threat in the area of human rights. And, it is soon planning major efforts in redistribution of wealth because of internal division in the areas of wealth and literacy between the urban wealthy and poorer citizens. Also, corruption in all levels of government is a major problem. China is the most populated country in the world, and has the third-largest economy. It is also the third-largest exporter. China controls (owns) over $2 trillion in foreign currency reserves. And in the worst global recession since the Great Depression, It was the only large economy that was growing in the global economic recession of 2008-2011(since the Great Depression of 1929 thru 1934). In 2012-2013 China overtook the USA as the #1 oil importer from the Middle East; however, more than just oil ... it is has already become the largest energy consumer in the world overall taking into consideration all forms of energy. It uses more coal than the rest of the world combined. China/ automobile production reached 16 million compared to 14.5 million in the USA recently. In the not too distant future, China may become the world's leading nation. Because of "quantitative easing" and other economic factors of the USA since 2008 that fed potential hyper inflation, the USA leaned on Communist China to purchase US Treasury Bonds. China is forced to support the US ... and recently Europe ... because these are two major markets for China's products. FACT: 83 members of Communist China's National People's Congress (NPC) are billionaires in terms of US Dollars. NOTICE: A multiple formation planned by Satan. At the same time as the Kings of the East are being forged militarily, politically and culturally, so is an economic front that will force itself into the New Global Governance: The formation of a global elite sector: a small group of people ... extremely wealthy and powerful ... who control political and economic sectors is in preparation for the "global equalization." OTHER PLAYERS IN THE SINO ASIAN EMERGENCE Note: All the creditor nations are in Asia: China, Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, and the large amounts of assets in Asia. All of the debtor nations (USA, UK, etc.) are in the West. SCO The Shanghai Cooperation Organization – SCO Founded 2001: China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgystan, Tajiistan, and Uzbekistan. Nations with “observer” status: Mongolia, India, Pakistan, Iran. Will account for HALF of production of the world. BRIC Brazil, Russia, India, and China Looks like will be more than HALF of GDP on Planet Earth in 20 years. “As India, China, and revitalized EU overtake the US, there will be a transformation of the global scene.” ‒ David Mason, The End of the American Century The People's Bank of China is now calling on the world to replace the US Dollar as the world's reserve currency and for the IMF to issue a new, single “super-sovereign” currency. SINO INDIAN COMPETITION India is expanding port control in Indian Ocean: Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Myanmar (Burma), Bangladesh. India has great R&D, software, services, and simulation packages and is a KEY player in world trade. Note: 25% of the world's NEW workers each year are in India. PAKISTAN Pakistan's military, although smaller than India's, is greater in per capita numbers. Both Pakistan and India are evenly matched in missile and nuclear facilities. INDIA India has the second largest military manpower in the world (second only to China). While India has maintained an average annual growth of 8.8% in the recent years, the failure of the government to control terrorist activities recently have put a dampening effect on new business ventures. Also, India and Pakistan are nuclear sparring partners. China and India are the accelerating force in world markets; however, most of the key economists feel that China will be the driving force in controlling the current global economic meltdown and be the major player in economic recovery. Here is information on India as an Economic Super Power. China and India will serve as nearly twice the engine for growth as of the United States and the Euro Zone combined by 2025. COMPARISON OF INDIA AND PAKISTAN IN MILITARY PROWESS Pakistan has a does NOT follow a "no first use" policy with regard to nuclear attack. It "will / can / probably" attack India (or anyone it want to) without notice or even aggravation by the opposing force. This is fundamentally a "super threat" because of Islamic militancy. In recent months terrorist forces have attempted to militarily encircle the central storage facilities for the Pakistani nuclear weapons armory. "If a purely conventional war were to take place between both these countries, India would most likely overpower Pakistan owing to its superior military technology and infrastructure, larger manpower, more territorial area and a strategic advantage in its sea and air forces. It must also be noted that a war between these two countries will matter more than India’s conventional superiority as both these nations are nuclear powers on an equal deadlock. India has maintained a ‘no first use’ nuclear policy in the lines of a similar policy by China while Pakistan does not have any such policy, considering their only hope against India is in nuclear deterrance. It would be risky for India at the present scenario to go into any aggressive war against Pakistan as the repercussions would be serious a nuclear devastation for both countries." – Aby the Liberal / The Internationalist For the annual assessment of the military capabilities and defence economics of 170 countries worldwide, go to: The Military Balance 2017.

Iraq suffers as Euphrates River dwindles: NY Times 2009-07-14 India vs. China on Military Strength - Conventional and Nuclear. Nuclear Missile Forces: USA vs. China vs. Russia. To compare the military strength of the nations of the world - excluding nuclear capability - go to: www.globalfirepower.com/. You will see that China and India are two out of the four top players in the world. They rank as follows: USA China Russia India Again, this does NOT take into account nuclear capabilities: the ranking above is based solely on a nation's capabilities from land, sea and air (with other statistics covering the logistical and financial aspects of waging war). But if you include nuclear capabilities, then the "kings of the east" (east of the Euphrates River) who would be formidable military threats would have to include: Pakistan, North Korea, Japan, Iran and Turkey. We are NOT including Iran or Turkey in this section, "Sino Asian Emergence," as we cover Iran and Turkey elsewhere, as mentioned above. SUMMARY In conclusion, it is evident that China and India are two of the fastest growing economic and military powers in the world. The Euphrates River will be dried up (maybe having more to do with soil impaction or alignment than hydrological forces).in the future to prepare the way for the kings of the east. Whether or not the Euphrates River has more or less water in the future (from increased flow of tributaries or from mechanical dredging) remains to be seen. But ... the Euphrates River will be a vital variable in the logistics of the Eastern "region kings" who come (or, are drawn) to the battle of the great day of El Shaddai, God Almighty. (Brit Chadashah: Revelation 16:14) In the last days their will be a major military, political, and economic force that arises from the East. This force will NOT be from just one national entity, but will be a confluence of several regional powers in the East ... and NOT from just the Pacific Rim. Direction in the Holy Bible is always oriented from Jerusalem, Israel. So these "kings of the east" can represent forces in the Near East, Middle East and/or Far East. The Sino Asian Emergence is a KEY construct in end times prophetic fulfillment. The rapid Sino Asian Emergence that is developing now is a sign of the END TIMES. In Asia ... as in other sectors of the world ... the stage is being set where the kings of the east will have their function in the final days of Planet Earth when Messiah comes to establish His Kingdom. Make sure you know Messiah personally … before He comes to Earth … or before you die. Be ready. If you are NOT sure you will go to Heaven when you die, then pray this prayer: “God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, if Yeshua is really my Messiah, then reveal Him to me … and I will serve you the rest of my life. Help me to live for You, and take me to Heaven when I die. Amen!” _________________________________________ "And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared."– Brit Chadashah: Revelation 16:12 MAP OF THE END TIMES Baruch haba b'Shem Adonai.

Wilhem Gesenius, a German biblical critic and Semitic language scholar, commented that "The Arabians and other Asiatics called China Sin, or Tchin; the Chinese had no special name for themselves, but either adopted that of the reigning dynasty or some high-sounding titles. This view of 'Sinim' suits the context which requires a people to be meant 'from far,' and distinct from those "from the north and from the west." "And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared." – Revelation 16:12__________________________________________________ RIVER EUPHRATES God created the Euphrates River."The name of the third river is Tigris, the one that flows east of Asshur. And the fourth river is the Euphrates" (Torah: Bereshith / Genesis 2:14). The river of the same name marked one of the boundaries of the land promised by God to Abraham and to his descendants: Isaac, Jacob, and to the end of his seed line. In the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) it is often referred to simply as "The River" (ha-nahar). (Torah: Bereshith / Genesis 15:18). The Euphrates marks the north-eastern border of the land God promises to Abram: "To your descendants I give this land from the wadi of Egypt to the Great River, the river Euphrates" (Torah: Genesis 15:18 in the Jerusalem Bible) God tells the Israelites to go to the Promised Land: "Start out and make your way to the hill country of the Amorites and to all their neighbors in the Arabah, the hill country, the Shephelah, the Negeb, the seacoast, the land of the Canaanites, and the Lebanon, as far as the Great River, the river Euphrates." ( (Torah: Devarim / Deuteronomy 1:7). God (through Moses) promises the Israelites the Promised Land: "Every place where you set the soles of your feet shall be yours. Your borders shall run from the wilderness to the Lebanon and from the River, the river Euphrates, to the western sea." (Torah: Devarim / Deuteronomy 11:24). The Lord says "Your King will make peace among the nations; He will rule from sea to sea, from the Euphrates River to the ends of the earth." (Tanakh: Zechariah 9:10) THE GREAT EUPHRATES RIVER AND PROPHECY OF REVELATION 16:12 The great River Euphrates is the water boundary separating the Holy Land (promised by God to Moses, Abraham, Israel) from Asia to the East. Because of dams constructed in the last century to divert water for irrigation, there are at times little or no water in the river bed. The act of the sixth angel in pouring out his vial upon the River Euphrates may have more to do with soil impaction or alignment than hydrological forces. However, it could be that the Euphrates River―due to some kind of engineering or dredging―may be fed with a network of tributaries in the future. At any rate, regardless of the Euphrates having more or less water in the future, it will be a viable variable in the logistics of the future and the Eastern "region kings" who play a key part in end time prophecy. KINGS OF THE EAST In the last days their will be a major military, political, and economic force that arises from the East. This force will NOT be from just one national entity, but will be a confluence of several regional powers in the East ... and NOT from just the Pacific Rim. Direction in the Holy Bible is always oriented from Jerusalem, Israel. So these "kings of the east" can represent forces in the Near East, Middle East and/or Far East. This force may be an amalgamation of national and cultural social interests flowing together for advancement, protection, control and power. One or more of the region kings may be a separate entity, however, working either in cooperation with or separately from the other region kings. However, these region kings will move simultaneously or in approximation to or with each other. The timing will be in prophetical precision and It will be a synergistic force that will be in effect designed by God as "pawns" to bring about the establishment of His Kingdom on earth. However, even though this force from the East fits into the end time plans of Almighty God, the regional EPM (Economical - Political - Military) powers will NOT have as their goal(s) the service of God. They will in effect be drawn (inspired) by Satan to do his bidding. There are / will be several players in this field of "region kings." In the following discussion, we will review some of the major players; however, keep in mind, that any power adjacent to the Euphrates River and beyond (easterly) may be a candidate for this role. This would include present day Iraq, Syria, Eastern Turkey, the southern steppes of Russia (from the former USSR), Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, China, Mongolia, North and South Korea. We will now discuss some of the more poignant players at this present time from the "region kings" of the East. [Note: Iran will not be included in this discussion because, even though it could be included in the area of the region kings of the East, this section is more directed to the area of "Sino Asian Emergence." Iran is covered in several other sections of the U of E site: Israel and Middle East Islam and Its Teachings Turkey and Word War Three SOME IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT CHINA China's Silk Road Resurrected. “One Belt, One Road.” 21st Century version of the ancient Silk Road traveled by Marco Polo. President Xi Jinping [chi-jin-ping] hosts the so-called Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) Summit. The BRI is Xi’s $1 trillion – with a "T" -- plan to build state of the art roads, ports, pipelines and airports that will link China to 110 countries around the world and make Beijing the epicenter of world trade for decades to come. The initiative is a brazen attempt to seize worldwide economic leadership from the United States. Xi sees an opportunity to bind emerging trade partners to him by offering them access to China’s vast consumer market. Xi is offering a lot of money and infrastructure to a lot of recipient countries who have a pressing need for their economies to be modernized. China is effectively applying soft power in a very visible way. It wants to become what the USA has been until now – the leader of the world economy. Among the massive infrastructure projects being offered to potential partners, China wants to build a port in Pakistan, complete a China-to-Myanmar pipeline, giving it access to Middle East crude oil, and dredge and deepen the historic Greek port of Piraeus. For Xi, this means showing that the rest of the world is girded to China, and that all roads lead to Beijing. ‒ Reference: John Moody, Executive Vice President, Executive Editor for Fox News China's economy will be larger than that of the USA by 2030. China controls: The Port of Long Beach (on the West Coast of USA); Both entrances to the Panama Canal; and, The key NAFTA Mexican port city of Lazaro Cardenas at the southern tip of the North American Union highway. China and many other countries have wanted to take away control from the USA for many years. Prohibition of imports of US products are now in place unless they are based on intellectual property that is developed and/or owned in China. U.S. products cannot be sold in China unless companies give China their current patents plus their research and development of new products. The longtime consensus among government and business elites has been that as China became richer, its interests would become more like the FREE world. It didn't work out that way because China is a Communist totalitarian country striving for military and economic superiority and still tortures, kills, and imprisons Christians. In 1949 China began to eliminate all religious entities from their borders. When Mao Zedong ("Chairman Mao") took over power he referred to religion as "the opium of the mind." China, today, is still one of the most repressive forces of Christianity in the world, with many Christians belonging to the "house" churches being tortured and imprisoned. NOTE: The "house" churches are those NOT registered with the government. In an attempt to control Christians, the government requires that all churches register with them. The government controlled church is called the "Three-Self Patriotic Movement." Millions of born again believers are part of the "house" churches and are NOT aligned with the government authorized churches. There are about 12 million registered believers in the official "State" churches and over 100 million believers in the non-registered "house" churches. The Chinese government tells the registered "3 Self" churches: 1. Where they can worship; 2. Who can worship (only those over 18); and, 3. What they can teach. REASONS FOR THE RISE OF CHINA IN THE WORLD MARKETPLACE President Richard Nixon opened trade agreements with China in 1972. After Chairman "Murderer" Mao died in 1976, certain of the Communist leaders realized that to succeed in world market share they must attempt to pattern what the leading non-communist nations were doing. These leaders realized they must move toward "capitalism" to become competitive in world trade, but they decided to "code" their terminology in new language so they would still be identified as communistic. New terms, such as "market socialism" and "socialism with Chinese characteristics" were coined. The new economic leaders decided upon a four pronged plan of attack to help them become competitive in world trade. This plan was known as the "Four Modernizations" and included: Agriculture Industry Technology Military They realized that their previous programs of mass starvation, torture, forced labor, and personal regimentation were achieving the opposite of motivating the "collective" Chinese people. In 1978 Deng Xiaoping became the key Communist leader in China mainly because of his economic expansionist plans leading China out of an abysmal position of market share production. Having been a sluggard in production due to Marxist / socialist control of manufacturing, China had been far behind the leading nations of the world until then. China decided to model other successful nations in the Far East: Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore. These countries were referred to as the East Asian Tigers, and all of which were non-Communist, free market economies. As an indicator of how far China has come in world trade, at this time the USA purchases 40% of its consumer goods from the Chinese. China now produces two-thirds of the world's DVD's, photocopiers, shoes, and microwaves ... and that's just a small part of their production landscape. As for information and communications technology, China has overtaken the USA. And, China is expanding its export market from the USA, Europe, and Japan to Latin America, Africa, and third world countries. For example, China’s foreign investment in Africa has increased from $1.5 million in 1991 to $1.2 billion in 2005. The KEY move right now by China is to obtain security in oil and energy imports to supply its great expansion in production and standard of living. China is investing money in oil and energy projects in countries where the West (USA, EU, etc) places sanctions. (For example, countries where US companies are NOT allowed to do business.) China is also building factories close to raw materials in African countries, and providing them with foreign aid, military equipment, building infrastructure, and forming favored agreements to foster friendship. (See the News Release in "Other Resources" below as an example.) Major leaps in banking have been effected by China. Even Alan Greenspan said China's central bankers “just a few years removed from isolated central planning, have become major players in operating the global financial system.” Chinese central bankers now play important roles in the BIS (Bank for International Settlements) in Switzerland and in the IMF (International Monetary Fund). With all its increase in productivity, China has NOT become less of a threat in the area of human rights. And, it is soon planning major efforts in redistribution of wealth because of internal division in the areas of wealth and literacy between the urban wealthy and poorer citizens. Also, corruption in all levels of government is a major problem. China is the most populated country in the world, and has the third-largest economy. It is also the third-largest exporter. China controls (owns) over $2 trillion in foreign currency reserves. And in the worst global recession since the Great Depression, It was the only large economy that was growing in the global economic recession of 2008-2011(since the Great Depression of 1929 thru 1934). In 2012-2013 China overtook the USA as the #1 oil importer from the Middle East; however, more than just oil ... it is has already become the largest energy consumer in the world overall taking into consideration all forms of energy. It uses more coal than the rest of the world combined. China/ automobile production reached 16 million compared to 14.5 million in the USA recently. In the not too distant future, China may become the world's leading nation. Because of "quantitative easing" and other economic factors of the USA since 2008 that fed potential hyper inflation, the USA leaned on Communist China to purchase US Treasury Bonds. China is forced to support the US ... and recently Europe ... because these are two major markets for China's products. FACT: 83 members of Communist China's National People's Congress (NPC) are billionaires in terms of US Dollars. NOTICE: A multiple formation planned by Satan. At the same time as the Kings of the East are being forged militarily, politically and culturally, so is an economic front that will force itself into the New Global Governance: The formation of a global elite sector: a small group of people ... extremely wealthy and powerful ... who control political and economic sectors is in preparation for the "global equalization." OTHER PLAYERS IN THE SINO ASIAN EMERGENCE Note: All the creditor nations are in Asia: China, Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, and the large amounts of assets in Asia. All of the debtor nations (USA, UK, etc.) are in the West. SCO The Shanghai Cooperation Organization – SCO Founded 2001: China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgystan, Tajiistan, and Uzbekistan. Nations with “observer” status: Mongolia, India, Pakistan, Iran. Will account for HALF of production of the world. BRIC Brazil, Russia, India, and China Looks like will be more than HALF of GDP on Planet Earth in 20 years. “As India, China, and revitalized EU overtake the US, there will be a transformation of the global scene.” ‒ David Mason, The End of the American Century The People's Bank of China is now calling on the world to replace the US Dollar as the world's reserve currency and for the IMF to issue a new, single “super-sovereign” currency. SINO INDIAN COMPETITION India is expanding port control in Indian Ocean: Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Myanmar (Burma), Bangladesh. India has great R&D, software, services, and simulation packages and is a KEY player in world trade. Note: 25% of the world's NEW workers each year are in India. PAKISTAN Pakistan's military, although smaller than India's, is greater in per capita numbers. Both Pakistan and India are evenly matched in missile and nuclear facilities. INDIA India has the second largest military manpower in the world (second only to China). While India has maintained an average annual growth of 8.8% in the recent years, the failure of the government to control terrorist activities recently have put a dampening effect on new business ventures. Also, India and Pakistan are nuclear sparring partners. China and India are the accelerating force in world markets; however, most of the key economists feel that China will be the driving force in controlling the current global economic meltdown and be the major player in economic recovery. Here is information on India as an Economic Super Power. China and India will serve as nearly twice the engine for growth as of the United States and the Euro Zone combined by 2025. COMPARISON OF INDIA AND PAKISTAN IN MILITARY PROWESS Pakistan has a does NOT follow a "no first use" policy with regard to nuclear attack. It "will / can / probably" attack India (or anyone it want to) without notice or even aggravation by the opposing force. This is fundamentally a "super threat" because of Islamic militancy. In recent months terrorist forces have attempted to militarily encircle the central storage facilities for the Pakistani nuclear weapons armory. "If a purely conventional war were to take place between both these countries, India would most likely overpower Pakistan owing to its superior military technology and infrastructure, larger manpower, more territorial area and a strategic advantage in its sea and air forces. It must also be noted that a war between these two countries will matter more than India’s conventional superiority as both these nations are nuclear powers on an equal deadlock. India has maintained a ‘no first use’ nuclear policy in the lines of a similar policy by China while Pakistan does not have any such policy, considering their only hope against India is in nuclear deterrance. It would be risky for India at the present scenario to go into any aggressive war against Pakistan as the repercussions would be serious a nuclear devastation for both countries." – Aby the Liberal / The Internationalist For the annual assessment of the military capabilities and defence economics of 170 countries worldwide, go to: The Military Balance 2017.

Iraq suffers as Euphrates River dwindles: NY Times 2009-07-14 India vs. China on Military Strength - Conventional and Nuclear. Nuclear Missile Forces: USA vs. China vs. Russia. To compare the military strength of the nations of the world - excluding nuclear capability - go to: www.globalfirepower.com/. You will see that China and India are two out of the four top players in the world. They rank as follows: USA China Russia India Again, this does NOT take into account nuclear capabilities: the ranking above is based solely on a nation's capabilities from land, sea and air (with other statistics covering the logistical and financial aspects of waging war). But if you include nuclear capabilities, then the "kings of the east" (east of the Euphrates River) who would be formidable military threats would have to include: Pakistan, North Korea, Japan, Iran and Turkey. We are NOT including Iran or Turkey in this section, "Sino Asian Emergence," as we cover Iran and Turkey elsewhere, as mentioned above. SUMMARY In conclusion, it is evident that China and India are two of the fastest growing economic and military powers in the world. The Euphrates River will be dried up (maybe having more to do with soil impaction or alignment than hydrological forces).in the future to prepare the way for the kings of the east. Whether or not the Euphrates River has more or less water in the future (from increased flow of tributaries or from mechanical dredging) remains to be seen. But ... the Euphrates River will be a vital variable in the logistics of the Eastern "region kings" who come (or, are drawn) to the battle of the great day of El Shaddai, God Almighty. (Brit Chadashah: Revelation 16:14) In the last days their will be a major military, political, and economic force that arises from the East. This force will NOT be from just one national entity, but will be a confluence of several regional powers in the East ... and NOT from just the Pacific Rim. Direction in the Holy Bible is always oriented from Jerusalem, Israel. So these "kings of the east" can represent forces in the Near East, Middle East and/or Far East. The Sino Asian Emergence is a KEY construct in end times prophetic fulfillment. The rapid Sino Asian Emergence that is developing now is a sign of the END TIMES.
