The city is located in present-day north central Mongolia, around 1000km or 700 miles northwest of Beijing and about 500km or 300 miles south of Irkutsk, Russia. Its current population is around 1.5 million, meaning it contains around 50% of Mongolia's residents, and is comparable in population to San Diego or Munich.

While China has dramatically curtailed its bilateral development financing in Africa and other regions around the world, Beijing is increasing its engagement in multilateral and regional development banks around the world, including the African Development Bank among others.This points to an important, yet little understood trend about China's growing influence in international financial institutions.Two reports have come out recently, one from the Center for Global Development and the other from the Overseas Development Institute (ODI), that explore China's role in these multilateral institutions. Yunnan Chen, a senior research officer at ODI and a co-author of the ODI analysis on the issue, joins Eric & Cobus to discuss how Beijing is turning to these institutions "to pursue its geopolitical agenda and to promote alternate norms of global governance."SHOW NOTES:Overseas Development Institute: China in the multilateral development banks: evolving strategies of a new power by Yunnan Chen and Chris Humphrey: https://bit.ly/3CR6AiDCenter for Global Development: Mapping China's Rise in the Multilateral System by Scott Morris, Rowan Rockafellow and Sarah Rose: https://bit.ly/3nSogWXWEBINAR: TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 30TH AT 14:00GMT: China's role in the multilateral development banks -- RSVP: https://bit.ly/3nSosp9JOIN THE DISCUSSION:CAP on Facebook: www.facebook.com/ChinaAfricaProjectTwitter: @eolander | @stadenesque | @yunnanchenJOIN US ON PATREON!Become a CAP Patreon member and get all sorts of cool stuff including our Week in Review report, invitation to join monthly Zoom calls with Eric & Cobus, and even an awesome new CAP Podcast mug!www.patreon.com/chinaafricaprojectSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Communist China and Russia just announced an ominous ramping up of their strategic military cooperation. The truth is that Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping have been intensifying such collaboration for years, including in simulated joint nuclear attacks against this country. Even more ominous is the extent to which both of these adversaries have been assiduously modernizing their respective thermonuclear arsenals, while our deterrent has been inexorably obsolescing. The cumulative effect of these inverse trends has been to raise serious questions about whether Moscow and Beijing now feel they have checkmated the United States and can therefore act with impunity on their respective plans for aggression in Ukraine and/or the Baltics, and Taiwan and/or India. For too long, we've contended that nuclear war in unwinnable and unthinkable. Unfortunately, our enemies believe neither is true. It behooves us to restore our deterrent ASAP. This is Frank Gaffney.

Pro-democracy activist Nathan Law was Hong Kong's youngest legislative councillor, until he was arrested for speaking his mind. Now living in exile here in Britain, he talks to Arthur Snell about his new book Freedom: How we lose it, and how we fight back, the reasons for our recent democratic recession, and how he's fighting for Hong Kong from afar. “The 2019 protests saw over 2 million people marching, over a quarter of Hong Kong's population” “When mainland China wanted Hong Kong back in 1997, people were fearful of a return to autocracy” “I had to continue to speak up for Hong Kong, which meant I had to leave the place I consider home” “Hong Kong is just one example is the democratic recession we've seen across the world” Presented by Arthur Snell.

What You Need to Know is China is silencing CNN! China is censoring CNN because of the tennis player, Peng Shuai, who claimed she was assaulted by a senior communist official. China blocks CNN's signal to prevent reporting about tennis star. The world was outraged and concerned after China censored her and no one had heard from her. China then had Peng record a video and write a public statement “show” she was fine. Looks more like a hostage situation! This has the potential for being a big problem for the Chinese Regime.  Melanie Kirkpatrick, author, senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, former deputy editor of The WSJ's editorial page, shares her new book Thanksgiving: The Holiday at the Heart of the American Experience.

Elizabeth Beisel achieved athletic notoriety at age of 15 when she became the youngest member of the US Olympic Team in Beijing. She earned two medals in London and served as the swim team's captain in Rio, but in 2020, when her father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, Elizabeth decided to do something no woman has done before.  In this episode, we talk with Elizabeth about her Block Cancer Swim, which takes her from Rhode Island's mainland, to sleepy Block Island, 10 miles offshore. Her efforts raised over $160k for cancer research in her father's memory. Take a listen!

From the BBC World Service: The Red Cross says policies designed to withhold funds from the Taliban are depriving ordinary Afghan people of the means of survival.

Mark Arendz delivered performance after performance at the 2018 Pyeongchang Paralympic games. He skied and shot his way into uncharted territory, nailing an incredible six medals in six events. Which left Canada's undisputed star of the games in something of a motivational bind. It's relatively easy to train with a goal of doing ‘better next time'. But how to focus on improving after an outing like that? Heading into the Beijing games, as Arendz explains to Anastasia Bucsis, means evolving as an athlete. ‘More' is not the answer, but ‘different' might be. Arendz' relentless pursuit of technique and fitness has led him to a place where he can still find flaws in his own gold medal races. He can still see ways to hit more bullseyes, more quickly. He can still bring more of his phenomenal talent and drive to bear on all the notoriously difficult Nordic disciplines. In conversation on the edge of ‘Frozen Thunder', the shoulder season cross country training track at Canmore, Alberta, Arendz slowed down long enough to describe how his passion for technical excellence in sport likely evolved from his early need to solve the daily challenges of living minus an arm lost to a childhood accident on his family farm in P.E.I. 24 years of overcoming physical problems, as it turns out, is excellent preparation for an unparalleled athletic career. It should come as a surprise to no one that Arendz is already visualizing precisely where he'll be at noon on March 5th, 2022…the minute, hour and day that his next Paralympic Nordic race gets underway.

Hungarian László Cseh is one of the most decorated swimmers in the history of our sport: six (6) Olympic medals, seventeen (17) World Championship medals, and forty-eight (48) European Championship medals. Michael Phelps was his kryptonite. Cseh finished 2nd behind him in 3 events at the 2008 Olympics, earning 3 silver medals in the 200 IM, 400 IM, and 200 Fly. In 2014, after a coaching change from György Turi to Zsolt Plagányi, his focus shifted to shorter events.

The China-India relationship remains strained as the year-and-a-half long standoff in eastern Ladakh continues. The border issue coupled with tensions over the COVID-19 outbreak pushed India to decouple from China, limiting Chinese investment in Indian tech companies and banning many of Beijing's most successful mobile applications. At the same time, India has renewed its commitment to the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue, bolstered its defense partnerships with Australia and Japan, and become more active in Indian Ocean maritime security. Can the two countries find common ground despite lingering tensions? And what do deteriorating China-India relations mean for the United States' approaches to the world's two most populous countries?During a live recording of the China in the World podcast, Paul Haenle spoke with Han Hua, Director of the Center for Arms Control and Disarmament at Peking University's School of International Studies, and Darshana Baruah, associate fellow with the South Asia Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. This panel is the first of the Carnegie Global Dialogue Series 2021-2022 and is also available to be watched online.

The International Olympic Committee has announced it will end its trans-athlete policy in March, just after the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. Instead, the Olympics are offering a 10-point framework to encourage each individual sports' governing body to create its own policies around who can compete in the women's category. Kirsti Miller joins us this week from Australia to talk about the new policy. The trans athlete has advocated for changes to sporting policy for trans athletes for years. This new policy reflects some of what Miller has been pushing for years, namely a framework that is built around each individual sport and athlete. She talks about the effects that transitioning has had on her, and why she is so encouraged by the new IOC policy. You can follow Kirsti Miller on Twitter. Learn more about your ad choices.

PART 01: America's September 2021 Treasury International Capital data corroborates dis/deflationary indications observed across various sources, the vast majority of which imply there's not enough money, and/or it's inadequately distributed, for the global economy to achieve permanent recovery.PART 02: Beijing reconfirmed what was made clear in 2017, during the 19th National Party Congress: the economic boom was over and it is time to prepare for it. If anyone in the West would care to listen, the Central Committee is referring not only to China but the entire global economy.PART 03: M1 and M2 once informed central bank decisions. But the monetary aggregates were so narrowly defined that they were, in effect, mere keyholes that offered policymakers an unsatisfactory, and often-enough misleading, peek into the great monetary hall.----EP. 164 REFERENCES---TIC: Consistent, Coherent, Corroborated, Inflation Never Had A Chance: https://bit.ly/3cDfqpOChinese Ice Cream: https://bit.ly/3kPgTO4We Can't Depend On the Ms, Which Only Produce Bad Vs: https://bit.ly/3wZexRAIs M2 The Money Behind Inflation?
