可以搜索公号【璐璐的英文小酒馆】或者添加【luluxjg2】咨询课程or加入社群，查看文稿和其他精彩内容哦~ So far we've talked about your studies, we talked about your interest in your field, but let's move on to something that is more about life in America, or life in academic setting in America. So first things first, let's talk about academic setting, because this is more specific. So far you have got degrees in British university, Chinese university and now doing a degree in American university. How would you compare these three very different university environment?Yeah, It's one of those things. Ah, it's a little bit difficult to compare the environments. But I definitely think, one of the things that comes to mind immediately is they definitely look after you more in China.So in America, they just kind of say here's some money, find somewhere to live, find something to eat and just take care of yourself. Of course, the Americans they think of this is freedom, right? I'm free to live wherever I want and eat and do whatever I want. But I do have to admit that I do like the Chinese system which kind of looks after you, right? Here's your room, the electricity is on this card and the canteen is down the road and it's tasty and it's cheap. Yeah, everything is sorted.Yeah, I guess it's very beginner friendly, newcomer friendly. Because you don't have to spend all the time feeling disoriented. Exactly! Right. And they'll usually have some kind of orientation does quite comprehensive and give you a nice map, and of course the professors and other students in America have been very kind to me and very helpful.But it's a lot more informal. There is some kind of online induction and training, but it's nowhere near as detailed and comprehensive as the things I experienced in China.What about British university then? Do they do anything like that for newcomers? Yeah, somewhere in the middle, I think, cause you do have the canteens and they are a little bit more expensive and exclusive than the Chinese ones. And it's different when you're undergraduate as well, actually. I think the undergraduates here get a little bit more guidance, just like I did in the UK. But I do think the UK, they kind of give you the training wheels a little bit. But they don't do too much to help you either. Yes, it's closer to America than China, I think. I see. But what about just this whole work ethics? I don't know if it's the right word to describe it, like in terms of hardworking, how hard, which would you… I know every country, every university has the really, really hardworking people. It has also slackers. But comparatively speaking, which country has the hardest working students?I think it's interesting cause it's a continuum right? So I think in America they give you the most work, so you in terms of like the readings for the courses and things, they give you way more reading than it's humanly possible to do. And I think the idea is you have to kind of choose the important parts, find the important parts. So it's a kind of literature review every time. When I was at Fudan, they don't give you as much. Like maybe we just read like two passages of the Laozi, but you've got to know every single character, of course you've got to be able to read them, but the history of that character. And you've got to know what Huangdi said about that character. And you've got to know what He Shan Gong said about that character. And you've got know, like, there's so much more detailed. I see. This is sort of very two different styles, different focus.

可以搜索公号【璐璐的英文小酒馆】或者添加【luluxjg2】咨询课程or加入社群，查看文稿和其他精彩内容哦~ Hi everyone, and welcome back to your favorite segment Global Village. 欢迎回来你们最喜欢的板块【小酒馆·大世界】. Actually today in our studio welcome back an old friend, some of you probably remember we had this philosophy segment called Let's Philosophize? 可能还有一些小伙伴记得原来你们很喜欢的一个板块叫做【知乎哲也】，是讲哲学问题的, 当时就有很多人喜欢这个板块的嘉宾主播TJ, so TJ, welcome back. Hi, Lulu. I'm very glad to be back with you after a long hiatus. I mean you have been really busy, right? I thought the reason why I invited TJ to this segment rather than Let's Philosophize is because he has some interesting life updates to share. Like before in this segment earlier this year, if some of you still remember, we talked to Brad about his move to Japan. And TJ, you were in China in Beijing before COVID and during the COVID years you were back in the UK, and now you're in America. Right, O'er land of the free and the home of the brave as they call it. I'm just trying to get used to the culture shock of being in another place. I call it my third childhood. I had my first childhood in England, my second childhood in China. Now I'm learning everything again, right? Completely different environment. I'm sure this is going to be a very interesting talk. But first things first, let's start with where exactly are you? I mean the United States is a big place. Where are you? The area that I'm in is called the Midwest. The Midwest is the area that's seen as almost like the suburbs of America. It's lots of corn. People are supposed to be very friendly and they've been very nice to me so far. And it's somewhere that seemed to have a community and family values. Which state are you in?So the state that I'm in is called Indiana. Indiana, okay. Are you in like a big city at least or are you like really in suburbs or even countryside of America? So it's one of the strange things really that I'm in a town called Bloomington, which has under 100,000 people. So it is quite small. It's like a village in China.Right. You can bike around very easily. And the interesting thing about Bloomington to me is that its almost half of the entire population is to do with the university, right, its teachers, students or staff. This is my next question and I'm sure a lot of you want to ask this question. Why are you in America? It's a good question, right? Especially as I focus on early Chinese philosophy. So it's a strange place. It's essentially it's because my supervisor in China told me to come here. We have some of the best researchers that focus on early Taoist thought and early Confucian thought in all of the western world. Let me get this straight. You now move from China or from the UK to America to study Chinese philosophy? Yes. That is true. I know it seems very strange. But the degree you're doing right now is your PhD right, your doctorate? Right. I'm doing a PhD.For those of you who don't really know TJ's really interesting educational background, Let me fill you in. TJ has got two master's degrees, right? One from the UK one, from China, from Fudan university. Yes, that's right. Can you tell us a little bit about that like what degree did you like, what major did you do it in what field?My undergraduate degree I did in Leeds in England that's philosophy. Then I went to Beijing Normal university and did some language courses at Beijing Normal University. After that, I did my teacher training. It was in Manchester but it's the Cambridge certification, right? That's not as impressive as it sounds for the listeners that are easily “fooled”. And then a master at Birmingham and then as another master of Fudan, now a PhD in America. So you're just one of those like perpetual students. Right, right. I think I do grow up slowly. It takes a long time for me to grow up.

Eine Universitätsstiftung ohne Universität? Das gibt es – sogar finanziert mit erheblichen öffentlichen Mitteln. Die „Phantom“-Stiftung ist mit dem geplanten Campus der chinesischen Fudan-Universität in Ungarn verbunden. Die Budapester Staatsanwaltschaft ermittelte.

Sixième épisode de notre série « Les nouvelles routes de la soie, 10 ans après ». La conquête chinoise de l'Europe passe par Budapest. La Hongrie a été le premier pays européen à signer, en 2015, un accord de coopération avec Pékin dans le cadre de « l'Initiative de la ceinture et de la route ». Parmi les projets phares de ce partenariat : la ligne ferroviaire entre Budapest et Belgrade en construction, prévue pour faire circuler des trains remplis de marchandises chinoises depuis le port grec du Pirée, jusqu'à l'Europe centrale.   De son jardin, situé à quelques mètres des rails, István observe le ballet des engins de chantier. Cet ancien employé des chemins de fer hongrois suit attentivement l'avancée des travaux de rénovation de la ligne Budapest-Belgrade autour de la petite gare de Kelebia, fermée depuis près d'un an, pour travaux. Dans la grande plaine méridionale, cette localité de quelque 2 400 habitants, est la dernière avant la frontière serbe et la ville de Subotica.Un camion benne déverse du gravier autour des traverses en béton qui portent les rails. La ligne à voie unique, en service depuis 150 ans, doit être modernisée et transformée en ligne à double voie. Mais devant la maison d'István, il pourrait y avoir jusqu'à six voies. « Ici, le train s'arrêtera devant les locaux de la gare de la police aux frontières, un peu plus loin, il y aura la douane et la brigade financière. Selon le projet, des portiques seront installés : les trains passeront à vitesse réduite pour y être scannés, comme cela se fait déjà pour les camions aux postes-frontière », explique le maire de Kelebia, József Maczkó.Comme István, plusieurs dizaines de personnes vivent tout près de la voie de chemin de fer. Murs anti-bruit, décorations végétales : les initiateurs du projet vont s'efforcer de minimiser les nuisances, assure l'édile : « Lorsque les voyageurs arriveront par le train, ils ne verront pas une zone industrielle lugubre ou une clôture, mais une zone plus verte, luxuriante. Ça a l'air de rien comme ça, mais c'est important et ça n'est pas donné : on parle de centaines de millions de forints [soit plus d'un million d'euros, Ndlr]. » Le coût du chantier et son financement, c'est justement ce qui préoccupe une partie des résidents de Kelebia. « J'ai très peur que ce chantier coûte beaucoup plus cher que ce qu'ils ont convenu. Ici, on voit clairement que c'est une affaire d'oligarques. On donne du travail aux bons copains, sans savoir s'ils s'y connaissent et s'ils feront du bon boulot », s'emporte Gyulia, un habitant, dans un café du village. « On ne sait rien de ces travaux. Ils nous présentent ce projet en disant que ce sera merveilleux ! Mais on ne sait rien des coulisses », renchérit la propriétaire de l'établissement.La construction de la section hongroise de la ligne ferroviaire Budapest-Belgrade, soit quelque 150 km sur un total de 350, a été confiée à un consortium rassemblant des groupes chinois et la holding Opus Global. Cette dernière appartient à l'homme le plus riche de Hongrie, l'oligarque Lőrinc Mészáros, ami d'enfance du Premier ministre Viktor Orban. Le coût du projet estimé à près de deux milliards d'euros, est financé à 85% par un prêt chinois. « On parle d'un crédit chinois mais c'est surtout un investissement hongrois. Nous aurions volontiers emprunté de l'argent à l'Europe de l'Ouest, mais ni Siemens, ni Alstom n'étaient intéressés par ce projet et le résultat, c'est que les Chinois ont saisi cette opportunité », soutient le député du Fidesz, Gábor Bányai, fervent défenseur du projet.Kelebia a tout intérêt à ce que les trains de marchandises passent par ici, souligne pour sa part le maire József Maczkó, se réjouissant à l'avance de l'activité commerciale qui pourrait en découler : « On va accueillir ici l'un des centres de fret de la compagnie nationale de chemins de fer. On percevra aussi la taxe professionnelle. Plus le transport de marchandises sera important, plus il y aura de produits à contrôler et plus la municipalité en tirera profit. » Contrat secretLe Parlement hongrois a voté en faveur de la mise au secret pour dix ans des détails du contrat de financement par la Chine de la ligne ferroviaire Budapest-Belgrade. Le flou a aussi été maintenu sur l'étude de faisabilité. Le gouvernement défend cette absence de transparence dans cet investissement d'infrastructure le plus important jamais réalisé en Hongrie, par la volonté de ne pas « mettre en danger la politique étrangère hongroise ». « Certaines questions sont si importantes pour un État qu'il n'est pas possible de les rendre publiques. Et dans ce projet, ce sont précisément les effets à long terme qui sont les plus importants », souligne Ágoston Sámuel Mráz, directeur de Nézőpont Intézet, un groupe de réflexion pro-gouvernemental.Pour autant, ce prêt dont les détails restent entourés de mystère, comporte des risques. « La Hongrie a déjà contracté des emprunts, par exemple pour la centrale nucléaire construite par les Russes. Ce projet risque donc d'alourdir considérablement la dette de la Hongrie », note Agnes Szunomar, professeure d'économie spécialiste de la Chine à l'université Corvinus de Budapest. Autre question qui se pose : le projet est-il viable financièrement ? Pour ses opposants, ses avantages apparaissent bien maigres, au vu de l'argent dépensé. Des économistes ont fait le calcul : il faudrait attendre 2 400 ans avant que cette ligne de chemin de fer ne devienne rentable pour la Hongrie.Bien qu'étant un projet privé qui ne dépend pas directement du grand plan de Xi Jinping pour faciliter les exportations chinoises via de nouvelles infrastructures, le plus grand des terminaux intermodaux terrestres d'Europe, inauguré en octobre 2022 à Fényeslitke, à proximité immédiate de la frontière entre la Hongrie et l'Ukraine, se targue d'être « la porte occidentale des "nouvelles routes de la soie” », selon  l'expression de Janos Talosi, PDG de l'entreprise East-West Gate, interrogé par Le Monde.Étant donné sa situation géographique centrale en Europe, la Hongrie de Viktor Orban souhaite jouer un rôle de plus en plus important dans « l'Initiative de la ceinture et de la route ». En réalité, Budapest cultive ses relations avec Pékin depuis le début des années 2000. La Hongrie a été le premier pays de l'UE à adhérer au projet des « nouvelles routes de la soie ». « Le gouvernement socialiste qui a précédé celui de Viktor Orban, était, lui aussi, ouvert et amical envers la Chine », rappelle Agnes Szunomar.L'ancien Premier ministre Péter Medgyessy a facilité la première vague d'investissements économiques chinois dans le pays. Aujourd'hui, la Hongrie accueille de nombreuses institutions culturelles chinoises, un cercle de réflexion, cinq instituts Confucius, une école bilingue, un établissement de médecine traditionnelle chinoise et de nombreuses organisations culturelles. C'est sous le gouvernement de l'actuel Premier ministre que la Hongrie « est devenue l'un des pays de la région les plus vulnérables à l'influence chinoise », note l'Institut Carnegie dans un rapport. « Il semblerait qu'Orban considère le gouvernement chinois - qui donne la priorité aux principes de souveraineté de l'État et de non-intervention dans les affaires intérieures de ses partenaires diplomatiques - comme une alternative à l'Occident libéral, où ses homologues se sont montrés très critiques à l'égard du recul démocratique de la Hongrie. »Si au début du siècle, « l'objectif principal était de stimuler les relations économiques [sous le gouvernement Orban], on est probablement passé d'une logique économique à une logique plus politique dans les relations », selon la professeure d'économie spécialiste de la Chine à l'université Corvinus.Université Fudan à Budapest ?La construction d'un campus de la prestigieuse université Fudan de Shanghai à Budapest participe de cette logique. L'établissement devrait ouvrir en 2024 et accueillir 6 000 étudiants et 500 enseignants. Mais sur la friche industrielle du IXe arrondissement de la capitale hongroise, rien ne bouge autour de l'immeuble rouge brique à l'abandon, qui doit constituer le bâtiment principal de Fudan. Le projet, qui a rencontré une vive opposition, a été suspendu.La maire de l'arrondissement, Krisztina Baranyi, aurait préféré faire construire à la place une cité universitaire pour y accueillir les étudiants des universités budapestoises. Mais cela ne sera pas possible tant que le projet Fudan n'aura pas été officiellement enterré : « Il a été suspendu avant les législatives d'avril 2022. Mais la fondation montée pour superviser cette université est toujours là, ils ne l'ont pas fait disparaitre. Elle continue de recevoir des milliards d'argent public. Cette fondation est une coquille vide, on ne sait pas vraiment ce qu'ils y font », raconte l'édile, qui a pris part à plusieurs manifestations contre le projet.Les opposants pointent, entre autres, les modes de financement troubles. Le gouvernement a décidé de fournir gratuitement un terrain de 26 hectares, estimé à 2,2 millions d'euros, à l'université Fudan. Selon le média d'investigation Direkt36, l'opération serait presque entièrement financée par un prêt d'1,3 milliard d'euros accordé par la Chine à la Hongrie et il serait principalement construit par des entreprises chinoises. Krisztina Baranyi redoute aussi que ce projet ne se transforme en outil d'influence voire de surveillance pour Pékin. « Nous savons pertinemment comment fonctionnent certaines organisations chinoises, telles que les instituts Confucius ou d'autres instituts d'éducation », dit la maire du IXe arrondissement de Budapest, redoutant que cet établissement chinois ne devienne « un cheval de Troie sur le territoire de l'Union européenne ». Certains universitaires hongrois craignent, en outre que le projet Fudan ne dilue le budget de l'État consacré à l'enseignement supérieur et ne contribue à étouffer la liberté académique.Pour s'opposer au projet et marquer clairement son opposition à la Chine et au régime communiste au pouvoir à Pékin, la mairie de Budapest a renommé quatre rues entourant le site du futur campus : « voie des martyrs ouïghours », « avenue de Hong Kong libre » , « avenue du Dalaï-lama » et « rue Xie Shiguang », du nom d'un ex-évêque catholique chinois, arrêté plusieurs fois de son vivant pour s'être opposé au contrôle de la religion par les autorités. Ce geste, critiqué par Pékin, pourrait être l'une des raisons pour lesquelles l'université Fudan a suspendu son projet, selon le politologue Agoston Samuel Mraz : « j'ai le sentiment que les partenaires chinois, considèrent qu'il n'est plus très intéressant pour eux de venir s'installer à Budapest parce qu'ils ne sont pas à l'aise dans cette situation où la ville ne soutient pas le projet. Ça n'est plus une question économique, c'est devenu une question politique ». L'affaire n'est pas enterrée pour autant, tant les relations avec les Chinois sont importantes pour l'équipe Orban, estime, pour sa part Krisztián Takács, conseiller municipal du IXe arrondissement et membre du parti centriste Momentum. « Ce gouvernement a chassé de Budapest l'Université d'Europe centrale, qui était l'une des meilleures universités de Hongrie et il en fait venir une autre de Chine. Pourquoi expulser une université européenne, qui est là depuis longtemps, et en faire venir une autre de Chine ? », s'interroge l'élu.Le gouvernement de Viktor Orban déroule également le tapis rouge aux entreprises chinoises et sud-coréennes de batteries électriques pour automobiles. Mais cette stratégie se heurte à des résistances locales.Eva Kozma, mère de famille, milite activement au sein de « l'Association des mamans de Mikepércs », contre l'installation d'une gigantesque usine de batteries, à l'orée du village paisible et verdoyant, où elle a déménagé il y a une bonne quinzaine d'années, soucieuse d'offrir un cadre de vie plus sain à ses enfants. Le fabricant chinois CATL a choisi ce site, à deux heures et demie de route de Budapest, près de Debrecen, la deuxième ville du pays, à quelques kilomètres d'une usine en construction de BMW. Un autre fabricant chinois de batteries au lithium, Eve Energy, a annoncé en juin qu'il s'apprêtait à investir 1,4 milliard de dollars dans la construction d'une usine dans la région.Redoutant que l'installation d'une usine de batteries ne s'accompagne de pollution sonore, de l'air et des eaux, les associations locales se mobilisent. « On a épluché toutes les autorisations et toutes les données que l'entreprise a bien voulu nous fournir. Le représentant de l'usine nous a dit des choses qui sonnaient bien. Mais ils ne construisent pas un atelier de chocolat ! », s'emporte Eva Kozma. Révolte des riverainsLes opposants au projet craignent particulièrement que l'usine ne menace l'approvisionnement en eau de la ville. Avec des besoins à hauteur de 3 000 à 6 000 mètres cubes par jour, la demande en eau de l'usine sera supérieure à celle de toute la ville de Debrecen. À Budapest, le représentant hongrois du géant chinois se veut rassurant : « Nous envisageons la possibilité d'utiliser les eaux grises, c'est-à-dire les eaux usées traitées, à la place de l'eau potable ou d'autres eaux dites techniques. Nous sommes ouverts à l'utilisation de ce type d'eau pour couvrir plus de 70 % de nos besoins », affirme Balázs Szilágyi, directeur des affaires publiques de CATL Hongrie.Des substances toxiques trouvées dans des puits de la ville de Göd, qui accueille une usine de batterie Samsung, a donné de nouveaux arguments aux militants de Mikepercs. « Ces cas ne sont pas avérés et nous n'avons aucune preuve de l'existence d'un quelconque incident sur d'autres sites, balaye Balázs Szilágyi, le représentant du fabricant chinois. Dans le cas de l'usine CATL, il ne sera pas possible de déverser de tels produits dans les eaux souterraines, tout simplement parce qu'il y aura un système d'isolation. Les produits ne pourront tout simplement pas y pénétrer. Nous aurons aussi 12 puits de surveillance des eaux souterraines : il y aura donc un contrôle continu et il sera facile de prouver qu'il n'y a pas de pollution. » Pas de quoi rassurer Zoltan Timar, le maire de Mikepercz, lui aussi, opposé à la construction de l'usine chinoise. Dans le potager communal qui fournit la cantine municipale en fruits et légumes biologiques, il envisage de créer un jardin témoin. « Nous ferons des prélèvements réguliers pour les faire analyser dans des laboratoires agréés. Si on trouve quoi que ce soit, on se tournera immédiatement vers les autorités, d'autant que le maire de Debrecen a déclaré qu'en cas de constatation d'une contamination, il pourrait faire fermer l'usine. »Autre inquiétude du maire de Mikepercz : l'arrivée sans doute massive de travailleurs étrangers. Après la crise économique de 2008, la région a connu un exode massif vers l'ouest de l'Europe et affronte aujourd'hui une importante pénurie de main-d'œuvre. « Notre localité paisible et familiale n'y est pas préparée. Je ne veux pas que des foyers de travailleurs s'installent ici », martèle Zoltan Timar, inquiet de la transformation d'un pavillon de sa commune en foyer, où des travailleurs chinois du chantier de l'usine de batterie, s'entassent à 6 ou 8 par chambre. « Je n'ose pas imaginer les risques sanitaires qui peuvent exister dans ces logements. Mais malheureusement, on est impuissant », regrette le maire.Balázs Szilágyi répond aussi aux craintes concernant l'emploi de travailleurs étrangers : le recrutement se fera, à terme, au niveau local, assure le représentant de CATL. « Nous n'embauchons pas en Chine, soutient-il. Nous ne faisons que transférer temporairement quelques personnes de là-bas, parce qu'elles ont les connaissances nécessaires pour lancer une usine et que nous avons besoin d'elles au début. »Bien que membre du Fidesz, le parti du Premier ministre Viktor Orban, Zoltan Timar s'oppose à un projet qui s'inscrit dans la stratégie d'ouverture de la Hongrie vers la Chine. Ce qui risque de lui valoir sa carrière politique. Il a d'ailleurs déjà fait les frais d'une campagne de dénigrement, destinée à le discréditer auprès de ses administrés hostiles à l'usine. Conscient de commettre un « suicide politique », il ne compte pas abandonner ce combat, qu'il sait pourtant « voué à l'échec ».

China sigue creciendo y nosotros seguimos acercándonos a ella. Pero pertenecemos a una cultura occidental, hija de Europa y con un peso enorme de Estados Unidos. Se puede decir que también tenemos elementos heredados de los pueblos indígenas, pero lo seguro es que de Asia nos sentimos lejos. Por eso vale la pena empezar a entender cada vez más sus valores, su forma de pensar, sus tradiciones. No solo seguir más de cerca su realidad política y económica, sino comprender por qué actúan como actúan en esas áreas. Aunque la China comunista tenga poco más de 70 años, la cultura china es milenaria e increíblemente rica. Hoy les proponemos acercarnos a ella, y para ello conversamos En Perspectiva con la filósofa Carla Rosso, una uruguaya, que es magíster en Filosofía China por la universidad de Fudan, en Shanghái.

This week, please join author Christan Mueller, editorialist Christopher deFilippi, and Associate Editor Torbjørn Omland as they discuss the research article "Skeletal Muscle Disorders: A Non-cardiac Source of Cardiac Troponin T" and the editorial "Skeletal Muscle Disorders: A Non-cardiac Source of Cardiac Troponin T." Dr. Greg Hundley: Welcome, listeners, to this June 14, 2022, version of Circulation on the Run. I am Dr. Greg Hundley, associate editor and director of Poly Heart Center at VCU Health in Richmond, Virginia. This week I don't have my good friend Carolyn with me, but we will grab a cup of coffee and work through several of the articles in the issue. Dr. Greg Hundley: Well, first, I want to tell you about the feature discussion today, and we're going to interview with Christian Mueller and talk about the utility of cardiac troponin T and its association with an elevation in those individuals with skeletal muscle disorders, but, before we get to that, let's go through some of the other articles in this issue. Dr. Greg Hundley: Listeners, the first study comes to us from Professor Haidong Kan from Fudan university. These investigators conducted a time stratified, case crossover study among 1,292,000 acute coronary syndrome patients from 2,239 hospitals across 318 Chinese cities between January 1 of 2015 and September 30 of 2020 to determine the associations between sub-daily or hourly levels of criteria air pollutants with the onset of an acute coronary syndrome. Dr. Greg Hundley: Now, hourly concentrations of fine particulate matter, coarse particular matter, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide and ozone were collected, and the hourly onset data of acute coronary syndrome and its subtypes including ST segment elevation myocardial infarction, non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction and unstable angina were obtained. Dr. Greg Hundley: Listeners, what did the investigators find? Well, their results indicated that transient exposure to the air pollutants of fine particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and carbon monoxide, but not coarse particular matter or ozone may trigger the onset of acute coronary syndrome even at concentrations below the World Health Organization Air Quality Guidelines. Now, greater magnitude of associations were observed among patients that were older than 65 years in age or those without a history of smoking or chronic cardiorespiratory diseases and those in the cold seasons. Dr. Greg Hundley: Listeners, next, we're going to move from the study of air pollution to the world of preclinical science. Listeners, this study comes to us from Dr. Ming-Hui Zou from Georgia State University. Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 or IDO1 is the rate limiting enzyme for tryptophan metabolism. IDO1 malfunction is involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis, and vascular smooth muscle cells with an osteogenic phenotype promote calcification and features of plaque instability, but it remains unclear whether aberrant IDO1-regulated tryptophan metabolism causes vascular smooth muscle cell osteogenic reprogramming and arterial calcification. Dr. Greg Hundley: Listeners, what did this study find? Well, this investigative team and their results revealed the previously unrecognized protective role of IDO1 in arterial calcification in that vascular smooth muscle cells defective of IDO1 result in enhanced runt-related transcription factor 2 and ectopic calcium deposition in plaques. In contrast, administration of kynurenine via intraperitoneal injection markedly delayed the progression of intimal calcification in parallel with decreased RUNX2 expression. Dr. Greg Hundley: Also, listeners, the authors found that patients with coronary artery calcification have abnormal tryptophan metabolism, and serum IDO1 activity was inversely associated with calcification development in clinical settings, so, listeners, what are the clinical implications here? Well, this work reveals a protective role for IDO1 in mitigating arterial intimal calcification through kynurenine production and then, secondly, developing interventions toward the IDO1 kynurenine RUNX2 access may prevent the pathogenesis of arteriosclerotic complications. Dr. Greg Hundley: Well, listeners, a really interesting article, and now let's turn our attention to some of the other articles in the issue. Well, first, there's a Research Letter from Professor Modarai entitled “A Higher Incidence of Chromosomal Aberrations in Operators Performing a Large Volume of Endovascular Procedures,” and then, also, there is an AHA Update from our exiting AHA president who addresses “What Does the American Heart Association Do (and How Can You Help)?” Well, now, listeners, let's turn now to our feature related to a discussion of the utility of troponin T as well as troponin I in those with skeletal muscle disorders that may also present with acute coronary syndromes. Dr. Greg Hundley: Welcome, listeners, to this June 14 issue, and we're very excited today. We have with us Dr. Christian Mueller from the University Heart Center at Basel, Switzerland, Dr. Torbjorn Omland from the University of Oslo in Oslo, Norway, and Dr. Chris deFilippi from Inova Heart and Vascular Institute in Falls Church, Virginia. Dr. Greg Hundley: Welcome, gentlemen, and, Christian, we'll start with you. Could you describe for us some of the background information that went into your study, and what was the hypothesis that you wanted to address? Dr. Christian Mueller: Thank you very much for giving me the opportunity in this podcast to discuss our study with you and together with Torbjorn and Chris, who both contributed so enormously to the field with their own research. It's about cardiac troponin, cardiac troponin, an essential pillar in our early diagnosis of myocardial infarction. In this specific study, we tried to address possible non-cardiac causes of cardiac troponin T. In our clinical practice, we use and guidelines recommend both cardiac troponin T and I more or less as equivalent in providing identical information and, when going back from the clinical practice to biology, we have learned that, the troponin complex, that it is composed of three isoforms, T, I, and C. Dr. Christian Mueller: While they are very similar in their function, they are distinct regarding amino acid sequence in configuration in cardiac and skeletal muscle. As the cardiac form, of course, is the one that we are interested in, cardiac-specific assays have been developed both for cardiac troponin T and cardiac troponin I. As with any other tests in medicine, they are very good, but they may have limitations, and the specific questions that we had set for this study is whether skeletal muscle disease might be non-cardiac source for cardiac troponin T as measured in blood, therefore, with the possible harm of having false positive increases that could lead to a misdiagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. Dr. Greg Hundley: Very nice. We're trying to understand the utility of cardiac troponin T measures in those individuals that may have concomitant skeletal muscle disorders. Christian, what was your study population, and describe for us your study design? Dr. Christian Mueller: Our study had two components, a clinical component and a translational component. The clinical component included 211 consecutive patients that presented with active and chronic muscle symptoms to a workup either with a rheumatologist or a neurologist or internal medicine specialist, so more or less elective workup for muscle, skeletal muscle symptoms, to have a population that is broad and reflects all possible skeletal muscle disorders, their possible impact on cardiac troponin T concentration. Dr. Christian Mueller: In this population, we quantified cardiac involvement as this is common in some of these musculoskeletal disorders to be either major, minor or are not. They're according to patient history, according to … ECG and cardiac imaging, and we did the measurement of high sensitivity cardiac troponin using the high sensitivity cardiac troponin T assays used all over the world and three high sensitivity cardiac troponin I assays to look for mismatches, the percentage of patients that might have elevated T concentration, but not I as a possible sign that the T might be from the muscle, not the heart, particularly in those patients that didn't have any imaging evidence of cardiac involvement, and then we correlated the amount of high sensitivity cardiac troponin T with the amount of muscle injury as quantified by CK. Dr. Christian Mueller: In the translational part, those patients who have received a skeletal muscle biopsy with quantified by differential gene expression, the MRNA of the cardiac isoform of cardiac troponin T as well as of I in those patients who had the biopsy and matched it and compared it to controls to see whether the cardiac isoform would be upregulated in those with the cases of skeletal muscle disease. Dr. Greg Hundley: Very nice, and so, Christian, was this one single measurement at one point in time or did you have a series of measures over time? Dr. Christian Mueller: In fact, this is a large, ongoing project where patients will receive followup appointments. The current study reports the first phase versus single measurement at a single time point was performed. Dr. Greg Hundley: Very good. Christian, what did you find? Dr. Christian Mueller: We first found that even in those patients with active skeletal muscle disease, cardiac troponin T still reflected the presence of cardiac disease. Those patients with severe cardiac disease did have significantly higher concentration than those patients with mild or with no cardiac disease. That was the good thing. However, the more challenging one for this biomarker in this setting is that high sensitivity cardiac troponin T was significantly higher in these patients as compared to controls. We had the chance to have a couple of thousand controls from another study that presented with non-cardiac chest and no skeletal muscle disease and, while high sensitivity troponin I concentrations were similar, cardiac troponin T was elevated, resulting in a much higher prevalence of elevated T concentration versus elevated I concentration and corresponding mismatches in these patients. Dr. Christian Mueller: In the second part, we were able to show that there was a significant correlation between high sensitively cardiac troponin T with CK quantifying somehow muscle damage while this was not seen in the correlation with high sensitivity I, and that signaled that some of the systemic cardiac troponin T concentration seems to be derived from the muscle. It was confirmed in the translational part of the study in which the differential gene expression showed an eightfold over-expression of cardiac troponin T in skeletal muscle biopsies of those patients with disease, so with active skeletal muscle disease. This … expression correlated with disease activity, a pathological score that quantifies the extent of damage in the skeletal muscle history and correlated with the high sensitivity cardiac troponin T plasma concentration measured with the immunoassay. Dr. Greg Hundley: Very nice. Listeners, it sounds as if, in patients with skeletal muscle disorders, Christian's team observed an elevation in cardiac troponin T, but not necessarily cardiac troponin I, and you've got mechanistic understanding from the biopsies where you see this cardiac troponin T expression in the damaged skeletal muscles. Well, Torbjorn, you have many papers come across your desk. What attracted you to this particular paper? Torbjorn Omland: Thank you, Greg. I think, in general, when I receive papers from circulation, there are three main criteria I consider. The first is whether this is an interesting research question and then, second, whether the study is well-designed and the third is whether they're in themselves are novel, robust and interesting with potential clinical implications. Torbjorn Omland: For this specific papers, I must say it seemed to me to fulfill all these criteria and that it would be able to bring this field forward. The study of re-expression of troponin T in skeletal muscle is not entirely novel because it has been done in small samples, but mainly with rare and neuromuscular diseases previously, but this study broadened that or generalized that to a much more clinically relevant population. The clinical implications also seemed to be much greater than what has been reported by previous papers. Dr. Greg Hundley: Very nice. Listeners, we have in addition to Dr. Omland, we have another expert with us today, Dr. Chris deFilippi, really in the area of biomarkers particularly as they pertain to cardiac injury. Dr. Greg Hundley: Chris, now turning to you, how do we put the context of the results today really with the broader scope of what we have learned about cardiac troponin I and cardiac troponin T and then their use in diagnosing acute ischemic syndromes or even forecasting future cardiovascular events down the road? Dr. Christopher deFilippi: Thank you, Greg, and thank you Circulation for inviting me to participate in this podcast and to write this editorial. First, Christian, this was a terrific paper and one that was probably great to review during the pandemic because, as I spent a good Sunday peeling back layers of the onion and reiterating what Torbjorn said, this paper makes a tremendous contribution where there already was some knowledge to maybe the expression of the cardiac specific troponin T and skeletal muscle, but there's something there for everyone just to get the takeaway message, but for those who really want to delve in, there are supplemental tables that contribute a huge amount of nuance and detail that I think will help guide researchers in the future in maybe how to optimally use cardiac troponin T and troponin I both in the evaluation for acute myocardial infarction and then in a variety of chronic conditions, so first putting this in context of how you would evaluate patients with acute myocardial infarction, and that's the predominant indication for measuring a high sensitivity troponin T or troponin I. Dr. Christopher deFilippi: As Christian in an earlier study has shown and others have shown, actually, the correlation between a high sensitive troponin I by a variety of commercial assays. Troponin T is really pretty good. I think in one study from Christian's group, it was measured at 0.89. Now, the issue that's relevant is more around the edges. People who come in with just a low elevation and, as Christian pointed out and colleagues pointed out in the paper, using the ESC algorithm, a number of those patients would have qualified for myocardial infarction with the skeletal myopathies particularly the myositis or the non-inflammatory myopathy. If there is an index of suspicion for these disorders I think particularly around the cutoff for troponin T, one has to be cautious. Whether one can actually look at serial changes and try to differentiate that way I think is an open question. It may be. Dr. Christopher deFilippi: I think the other thing that gets quite interesting for me in an area that we've delved in over the past decade is the use of high sensitive troponin T or troponin I as a measure of chronic injury that's been codified in the fourth universal definition of MI published four years ago to identify individuals at risk. These can be individuals who are living in the community without known cardiovascular disease or actually without, perhaps, a lot of other comorbidities other than advanced age, for example, who an elevated troponin I or troponin I can be indicative of an increased risk for incident heart failure over the next five to 10 years. It can be patients with other chronic comorbidities. Dr. Christopher deFilippi: Actually, what drew me to this paper and thinking along these lines was a paper that Torbjorn had published back in 2013 where, using the key study which are individuals who have chronic ischemic heart disease without heart failure, he measured both troponin I and troponin T and found there was quite a discordance. There, we're looking at … value of about 0.4 and found that troponin I was a great predictor for the risk of coronary heart disease event and an acute myocardial infarction in the future, but T was not, but both T and I were good predictors of incident heart failure in the future. Dr. Christopher deFilippi: Other investigators, the … investigators, investigators from Scotland have also found this discordance between I and T in chronic ambulatory populations with or without comorbidities, and so it opens an interesting question in individuals with maybe conditions of pre-frailty or frailty or some element of sarcopenia, subclinical skeletal muscle disease. Does this cause this discordance? Ultimately, we know particularly with heart failure, with preserved ejection fraction, it is a systemic disorder, and measures of skeletal muscle disease may be relevant in ultimately determining who's going to have symptomatic heart failure. Dr. Christopher deFilippi: I think it really opens things wide open potentially to further investigation. Is this modifiable? Is it through intervention simply like physical activity? Could you see changes in cardiac troponin T that may be reflecting cardiovascular changes and skeletal muscle changes, but maybe not so much with I, and does this have relevant prognostic implications? I think I was really excited about it based on the defined pragmatic findings with respect to evaluating patients for myocardial infarction who have these underlying skeletal muscle diseases, but also implications, what this might mean in chronic disease populations as well. Dr. Greg Hundley: Very nice. Well, Chris, you've led us really to our next series of questions, and maybe we'll circle back with each of you, first, Christian. What do you see, Christian, as the next study to be performed in this space? Dr. Christian Mueller: I think the next study should address two aspects. The first one is I think we already, with the current population have found that skeletal muscle disease includes various pathologies, and as indicated by Torbjorn, the cardiac troponin T re-expression seems to be at least of our current understanding limited to the two groups of myositis and the muscular dystrophies, whereas the other skeletal muscular disorders at least in those that we have currently investigated did not seem affected. However, we were limited by the number of patients in this subgroup, and so for sure need a larger population to cover all aspects or all classifications of skeletal muscle disease in more detail. Dr. Christian Mueller: The second point that I'd like to highlight is the followup and to look for cardiac events and to look for cardiac changes, functional or anatomical changes in cardiac imaging, because it still may be that some of the T that is more commonly seen in this patient, that the majority of this is derived from the heart, so it's not a black and white, it's only from the muscle or only from the heart. It's still possible that some of the higher concentration of T found in these patients, as in many of the skeletal muscle systemic disorders, they have cardiac involvement which may not be identifiable by current imaging techniques at the first visit. This may become apparent during followup, and so these studies will help us to get a better quantitative understanding, so ideally to understand is it just a tiny amount, I don't know, 10, 20% of the systemic T concentration that is derived from the muscle? Then it would have a very different clinical implication as compared to if, I don't know, more than 50% of the systemic concentration would be derived from the skeletal muscle rather than the heart. Dr. Greg Hundley: Very nice. Torbjorn, I would like to turn to you. What do you see as the next study to be performed in this space? Torbjorn Omland: Oh, I agree with Christian that the serial assessment of changes of disease activity versus troponin changes would be very interesting to study in more detail and also correlate that to changes, for instance, by cardiac MRI if you can see whether there are actually correlations there. Long-term prognostic implications of skeletal muscle derived cardio troponin is another subject, and then, finally, I think that we do need to know even more accurately what is the impact of these alterations on the diagnostic workup in the acute coronary syndrome setting. Is it really a clinically important confounder? I think studies that could address that will be important. Dr. Greg Hundley: Very nice, and then finally Chris, and, Chris, I want to add just another question. Just from my listening to this, if I'm trying to identify someone with an acute ischemic syndrome and then they may also have an underlying skeletal muscle disorder, both Christian was talking about inflammation, but you brought in frailty and things of that nature. Should we really then turn clinically to measuring cardiac troponin I in this setting when we're trying to rule out, for example, acute myocardial infarction? Dr. Christopher deFilippi: Yeah. I don't want to overstate that. I mean, Christian's work and others have shown actually a high sensitive troponin T and a variety of different high sensitive troponin Is in a very heterogeneous chest pain population have been equivalent, looking at receiver operator curves area under the curbs, and so they're probably our people at the margins where this will make a difference, but it should be. Listeners should be reassured at this point because troponin T is a very common assay that it's still quite efficacious and accurate for the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction from what we know, and a lot of Christian's work has identified this. Dr. Christopher deFilippi: Again, moving into the more chronic disease population outside the evaluation of acute myocardial infarction, maybe where we can use it as a differentiator, it could be helpful in some instances to look at interventions. Earlier work has shown in just small numbers of patients have been published, but patients with hypothyroidism, patients with statin-induced skeletal myopathies, the treatment of these has actually led to a decrease in high sensitive troponin I corresponding with decreases in CK, so there may be opportunities for lifestyle interventions like physical activity, and you could see that response and whether that has prognostic implications. This could be of interest for future research. Dr. Greg Hundley: Very nice. Well, listeners, what an incredible discussion today. We want to thank Dr. Christian Mueller from University Heart Center in Basel, Switzerland, Dr. Torbjorn Omland from the University of Oslo in Oslo, Norway, and also Dr. Chris deFilippi from the Inova Heart and Vascular Institute in Falls Church, Virginia, for really helping us understand that in patients... from this research, that in patients with active chronic skeletal muscle disorders, elevations in cardiac troponin T are common and may not be related to cardiac disease. These elevations were not observed in those with assessment of cardiac troponin I and, coming back to in the case of cardiac troponin T based on this wonderful biopsy work, the elevations of the troponin T appear related to re-expression of troponin T and skeletal muscle. Dr. Greg Hundley: Well, listeners, on behalf of Carolyn and myself, we want to wish you a great week, and we will catch you next week on the run.

Há anos, divergências políticas enfraquecem o Brics, o grupo de potências emergentes formado por Brasil, Rússia, Índia, China e África do Sul. Mas, agora, a ofensiva de Vladimir Putin na Ucrânia traz a oportunidade de o bloco resgatar a relevância internacional, ao evidenciar as relações comerciais cruciais entre os seus membros e com o resto do mundo, em meio à onda de sanções ocidentais a Moscou. O grupo se tornou a porta de escape para a Rússia contornar as drásticas medidas econômicas americanas e europeias. "O comércio intra-Brics, com um peso absolutamente preponderante da China, é muito relevante para os demais membros. Na verdade, o isolamento comercial não ocorre devido ao fato de a China ser o principal parceiro comercial do Brasil, importantíssimo para a Rússia e Africa do Sul, e um pouco menos relevante para a India”, resume a professora de Relações Internacionais Ana Garcia, coordenadora do Brics Policy Center, ligado à PUC-Rio. Nos últimos anos, a ascensão de governos de extrema direita na Índia e no Brasil, o enfraquecimento das instituições multilaterais e o aumento das hostilidades entre Índia e Brasil com a China foram levando o Brics a segundo plano. Mas o conflito na Ucrânia dá a chance de o bloco se fortalecer enquanto organismo "não alinhado”, além de representar os interesses dos demais emergentes e países em desenvolvimento. Guerra não interessa a ninguém Os membros do Brics têm se esforçado para manter um posicionamento relativamente neutro sobre a guerra – se abstiveram na votação de condenação à Rússia na ONU e são contidos nas críticas a Putin. "É bastante intrigante, mas há, sim, um relançamento de uma dinâmica dos países em desenvolvimento. Não que eles pensem que o conflito não lhes interessa, mas se unem em torno da ideia segundo a qual eles não tem que escolher um lado: o nosso lado é o desenvolvimento, do crescimento”, analisa o economista francês Jean-Joseph Boillot, autor de diversos livros sobre as potências emergentes, como Chindiafrique. Boillot avalia que, para além das sanções ocidentais, que sufocam a economia russa, a pressão dos emergentes para o fim do conflito também deverá pesar para Putin acelerar o fim da ofensiva – que acentua os problemas de abastecimento alimentar e energético e eleva a inflação mundial. “O mundo em desenvolvimento não quer guerra, e isso é muito claro. A razão é muito simples: ele é o que mais sofreu, em todos os pós-guerra. Ele percebe e já sente que essa lei da selva só pode lhes conduzir à miséria”, relembra o pesquisador francês. “O que está acontecendo agora, com países como o Brasil, claro, mas também a China e a Índia, é provavelmente a constituição não de um grupo contrário à globalização, afinal não estamos mais nessa lógica e os países em desenvolvimento hoje representam um peso tão importante na economia mundial que se tornaram um ator completo. Mas, sim, de um grupo politico-econômico que vai ajudar a definir os contornos de uma economia mundial pós globalização dos anos 2000”, prevê. Reposicionamento Para Ana Garcia, não é exagero dizer que o conflito, ao envolver um dos países-fundadores do grupo, coloca o Brics no seu maior desafio em mais de 20 anos de criação. "Sem dúvida nenhuma, a grande questão é se os Brics se recompõem e se reposicionam – mas, nesse caso, terão, sim, de apoiar a Rússia na saída dessa crise, e podemos ver a China atuar como um estabilizador global, como uma potência que vai conseguir guiar uma saída da crise”, afirma a professora da PUC-Rio. "Ou então, do lado inverso, é se os Brics não funcionarem mais como um agrupamento político e permanecerem simplesmente países emergentes, com mercados internos amplos, e com o seu Novo Banco de Desenvolvimento (NDB), que hoje já expandiu para além dos cinco membros fundadores.” A abertura do NDB para novos países, entretanto, tende a desacelerar, já que a Rússia não só é mais cautelosa em relação a esse projeto, como exige que não sejam incluídos países que já tenham adotado sanções contra algum dos sócios fundadores, observa Karin Vazquez, pesquisadora do Centro de Estudos sobre os Brics da Universidade de Fudan, em Shangai. Fortalecimento do “Banco do Brics” No começo de março, a instituição financeira decidiu congelar o financiamento de projetos na Rússia, apesar de o país ser um dos seus criadores, em 2015. Mas a medida está longe de representar qualquer tipo de sanção ao governo russo, assinala a pesquisadora. “Esse não foi um movimento exclusivo do NDB, e sim se somou a uma ação coletiva de vários outros bancos multilaterais, diante das circunstâncias na Rússia”, disse Vazquez. "É muito mais uma tentativa do NBD de se firmar como uma instituição financeira crível no mercado internacional, sendo bem avaliada. O NBD tem essa pretensão de se estabelecer como uma instituição financeira que vai emprestar para outros países, muito além dos membros fundadores, e emprestar para terceiros, ser aceito à mesa com as demais instituições internacionais”, complementa Garcia. Vazquez ressalta ainda que o conflito poderá fortalecer a ideia de aumentar as transações nas moedas nacionais dos membros fundadores do bloco, um antigo projeto dos países do Brics. "Essas discussões já vêm acontecendo entre a Rússia e a China. O yuan já é utilizado, mais do que o rublo, e essas discussões também acontecem no âmbito dos Brics”, explica a pesquisadora da Universidade de Fudan. "A proposta de criar um mecanismo de pagamentos em moedas locais já vem há alguns anos e tende a ganhar corpo diante da nova conjuntura mundial. O próprio NDB já tem feito empréstimos em moedas locais, como aqui na China e na África do Sul.”

Episode Notes:This episode's guest is David Rennie, the Beijing bureau chief for The Economist and author of the weekly Chaguan column. Our topic is online discourse, nationalism, the intensifying contest for global discourse power and US-China relations.Excerpts:I spoke to some very serious NGO people who've been in China a long time, Chinese and foreigners who said that this was the worst time for NGOs since 1989, and the kind of mentions of espionage and national security was a very serious thing. So then I had to make a decision, was I going to try and speak to someone like Sai Lei. Clearly he is an extremely aggressive nationalist, some would call him a troll and there are risks involved in talking to someone like him. But I felt, I'm one of the few English language media still in China, if I'm going to add value, I need to speak to these people.I had a very interesting conversation with a CGTN commentator…He said, I can't tell you how many Western diplomats, or Western journalists they whine. And they moan. And they say, how aggressive China is now and how upset all this Wolf warrior stuff is and how China is doing itself damage. And he goes, we're not, it's working. You in the Western media, used to routinely say that the national people's Congress was a rubber stamp parliament. And because we went after you again and again, you see news organizations no longer as quick to use that. Because we went after you calling us a dictatorship, you're now slower to use that term because we went after you about human rights and how it has different meanings in different countries. We think it's having an effect…One of the things I think is a value of being here is you have these conversations where the fact that we in the West think that China is inevitably making a mistake by being much more aggressive. I don't think that's how a big part of the machine here sees it. I think they think it worked….To simplify and exaggerate a bit, I think that China, and this is not just a guess, this is based on off the record conversations with some pretty senior Chinese figures, they believe that the Western world, but in particular, the United States is too ignorant and unimaginative and Western centric, and probably too racist to understand that China is going to succeed, that China is winning and that the West is in really decadent decline…I think that what they believe they are doing is delivering an educational dose of pain and I'm quoting a Chinese official with the word pain. And it is to shock us because we are too mule headed and thick to understand that China is winning and we are losing. And so they're going to keep delivering educational doses of pain until we get it…The fundamental message and I'm quoting a smart friend of mine in Beijing here is China's rise is inevitable. Resistance is futile…And if you accommodate us, we'll make it worth your while. It's the key message. And they think that some people are proving dimmer and slower and more reluctant to pick that message up and above all Americans and Anglo-Saxons.On US-China relations:The general trend of U.S. China relations. to be of optimistic about the trend of U.S. China relations I'd have to be more optimistic than I currently am about the state of U.S. Politics. And there's a kind of general observation, which is that I think that American democracy is in very bad shape right now. And I wish that some of the China hawks in Congress, particularly on the Republican side, who are also willing to imply, for example, that the 2020 election was stolen, that there was massive fraud every time they say that stuff, they're making an in-kind contribution to the budget of the Chinese propaganda department…You cannot be a patriotic American political leader and tell lies about the state of American democracy. And then say that you are concerned about China's rise…..their message about Joe Biden is that he is weak and old and lacks control of Congress. And that he is, this is from scholars rather than officials, I should say, but their view is, why would China spend political capital on the guy who's going to lose the next election?…The one thing that I will say about the U.S. China relationship, and I'm very, very pessimistic about the fact that the two sides, they don't share a vision of how this ends well.Links:China’s online nationalists turn paranoia into clickbait | The Economist 赛雷：我接受了英国《经济学人》采访，切身体验了深深的恶意 David Rennie on Twitter @DSORennieTranscript:You may notice a couple of choppy spots. We had some Beijing-VPN issues and so had to restart the discussion three times. Bill:Hi, everyone. Welcome back to the `Sinocism podcast. It's been a bit of a break, but we are back and we will continue going forward on a fairly regular schedule today. For the fourth episode, I'm really happy to be able to chat with David Rennie, the Beijing bureau chief for The Economist and author of the weekly Chaguan column. Our topic today is online discourse, nationalism, and the intensifying contest for global discourse power.Bill:I've long been a fan of David's work and the approximate cause for inviting him to join the podcast today was an article on the January 8th issue of The Economist on online nationalism. Welcome David.David:Hello.Bill:So just to start, could you tell us how you got to where you are today?David:I've been a foreign correspondent for frighteningly long time, 24 years. And it's my second China posting. I've been out there so long. I've done two Chinas, two Washingtons, five years in Brussels. I was here in the '90s and then I went off, spent a total of nine years in Washington, DC. And then I came back here in 2018 and I was asked to launch a new column about China called Chaguan, because previously I wrote our Lexington column and our Bagehot column about Britain and our Charlemagne column about Europe. They all have strange names, but that's what we do. And so this is my fourth column for The Economist.Bill:We last met, I think in 2018 in Beijing in what seems like before times in many ways at The Opposite House, I believe.David:And the days when we had visitors, people came from the outside world, all of those things.Bill:Yes. You are quite the survivor, as they say. Although there are advantages to not worry about walking outside and getting sick all the time. Although it's better here in DC now.David:It's a very safe bubble. It's a very large bubble, but it's a bubble.Bill:So let's talk about your article, the January 8th issue. It was titled “China's online nationalist turned paranoia into click bait”. And I thought it was a very good distillation of the surge in nationalists and anti foreign content that is really flooding or was flooded the internet in China. And you interviewed one of the people who's profiting from it because it turns out that not only is it good from a sort of a sentiment perspective, but it's also good from a business perspective.Bill:And that person Sai Lei, interestingly enough, then recorded your conversation and turned it into a whole new post and video about the whole experience of talking to a foreign correspondent. Can you tell us a little about the story and why you chose to write it and just to add the links to David's article and the Sai Lei article will be in the podcast notes.David:So I heard from friends and colleagues, a couple of things in two directions. One was that in the world of private sector media, a couple of reasonably well known explainer sites, popular science video companies had been taken out of business by nationalist attacks. One was called Paperclip, the other called Elephant Union. And their crime in the eyes of online nationalists had been to talk about things which are fairly uncontroversial in Western media, that eating beef from the Amazon or eating beef that is fed soy grown in the Amazon is potentially bad for the rainforest and maybe we should eat less meat.David:But because this was in the Chinese context, that China is the biggest buyer of soybeans, this explainer video was attacked as a plot to deny the Chinese people the protein that they need to be strong, that this was a race traitor attack on the Chinese. And it was outrageous because the West eats so much more meat than China. And so that was one element of it. And I heard that these companies had been shut down. The other was that I'd been picking up that this was an extremely bad time for NGOs, particularly Chinese NGOs that get money from overseas. And we'd seen some really nasty attacks, not just on the idea that they were getting money from overseas, but that they were somehow guilty of espionage.David:And there was an NGO that did incredibly benign work. Tracking maritime and Marine trash, as it floats around the coasts of China based in Shanghai, Rendu Ocean. I'd done a column on them the year before I'd been out with their volunteers. It was a bunch of pensioners and retirees and school kids picking up styrofoam and trash off beaches, weighing it, tracking where it came from and then uploading this data to try and track the fact that China is a big generator of the plastic and other trash in the oceans. They were accused of espionage and taking foreign money to track ocean currents that would help foreign militaries, attack China, that they were guilty of grave national security crimes.David:And they were attacked in a press conference, including at the national defense ministry. And they're basically now in a world of pain. They're still just about clinging on. And so these two things, you have these NGOs under really serious attack, and you also have this attack on online explainer videos. The common theme was that the nationalist attack, they were somehow portraying the country and its national security was a weird combination of not just the security forces, but also private sector, Chinese online nationalists. And in particularly I was told there was a guy called Sai Lei. That's his non to plume who was one of the people making videos taking on these people. He went after celebrities who talked about China should be more careful about eating seafood.David:This was again, sort of race traitors. And he was using this really horrible language about these celebrities who talked about eating more sustainable seafood that they were ‘er guizi”, which is this time about the collaborationist police officers who worked with the Japanese during the World War II. He calls them Hanjian, the s-called traitors to the Chinese race. Very, very loaded language. Went after a group that’s working with Africans down in the south of China, talking about how they faced discrimination. This got them attacked. They had talked also about the role of Chinese merchants in the illegal ivory trade that got them attacked by the nationalists.David:So I thought this question of whether the government is behind this or whether this is a private sector attack on that. There's the profits to be made from this online nationalism struck me something I should write about. So I talked to some of the people whose organizations and companies had been taken down, they were very clear that they thought that was a unholy nexus of profit, clickbait and things like the communist youth league really liking the way that they can turbocharge some of these attacks-Bill:Especially on bilibili, they use that a lot.David:Especially on... Yeah. And so there's this weird sort of sense that, and I spoke to some very serious NGO people who've been in China a long time, Chinese and foreigners who said that this was the worst time for NGOs since 1989, and the kind of mentions of espionage and national security was a very serious thing. So then I had to make a decision, was I going to try and speak to someone like Sai Lei. Clearly he is an extremely aggressive nationalist, some would call him a troll and there are risks involved in talking to someone like him. But I felt, I'm one of the few English language media still in China, if I'm going to add value, I need to speak to these people.David:Yes. And so I reached out to the founder of a big, well known nationalist website who I happen to know. And I said, do you know this guy Sai Lei? And he said, I do, I'll get in touch with him. Sai Lei was very, very anxious about speaking to the Western media. Thought I was going to misquote him. And so eventually we did this deal that he was going to record the whole thing. And that if he thought I had misquoted him, that he was going to run the entire transcript on full on this other very well known nationalist website that had made the introduction. So I said, okay, fine. I have nothing to hide. That's all good. I wrote the column. I quoted Sai Lei. I didn't quote a tremendous amount of Sai Lei because what he said was not especially revealing.David:He was just an extremely paranoid guy. And there was a lot of whataboutism and he was saying, well, how would the American public react if they were told that what they eat damages the Amazon rainforest? And I said, well, they're told that all the time-Bill:All the time.David:It was an incredibly familiar argument. It's on the front page of America newspapers all the time. And so he wasn't willing to engage. And so, I ran this. He then put out this attack on me. It's fair. Look, I make a living handing out my opinions. I knew he was recording me, was it a bit disappointing that he cut and edited it to make me sound as bad as possible rather than running the full transcript. I mean, I interviewed a troll and that was the thing. He attacked me on the basis of my family, which then triggered a whole bunch of stuff that was pretty familiar to me, a lot of wet and journalists get a lot of attacks and it was an unpleasant experience, but I feel that the added value of being here is to talk to people, who The Economist does not agree with.David:And his fundamental problem was that I was using online as a disapproving time. But my line with people like him, or with some of the very prominent nationalists online academics, media entrepreneurs, also with the Chinese foreign ministry, when I'm called in is my job in China is to try to explain how China sees the world. To speak to people in China to let their voices be heard in The Economist. And I absolutely undertake to try and reflect their views faithfully, but I do not promise to agree with them, because The Economist does not hide the fact that we are a Western liberal newspaper. We're not anti-China, we are liberal. And so, if we see illiberall things happening in Abu Ghraib or in Guantanamo Bay or-Bill:DC.David:Being done by Donald Trump or being done by Boris Johnson or Brexit, or Viktor Orbán or in China, we will criticize them because we are what we say we are. We are a liberal newspaper. We have been since 1843. And what's interesting is that online, the reaction was... For a while, I was trending on Bilibili. And that was new. And I take that on the chin. I mean, I'm here, I'm attacking nationalists. They're going to attack back. I think what's interesting is that the online of nationalist attacks were, I hope that the ministry of state security arrest this guy, he should be thrown out of China. Why is he in China? They should be expelled. This guy has no right to be in China.David:I think that at some level, some parts of the central government machinery do still see a value to having newspapers like The Economist, reasonably well read Western media in China. And it's this conversation I've had a lot with the foreign ministry, with the State Council Information Office, which is as you know, it's the front name plate for the propaganda bureau. And I say to them, we are liberals.David:We are not anti-China any more than we're anti-American because we criticize Donald Trump, but you know where we're coming from, but I do believe that if China is concerned about how it's covered, if they throw all of us out, they're not going to get better coverage. I mean, some of the most aggressive coverage about China in the states comes from journalists who never go to China and economists who never go to China. And I think that, that argument resonates with some parts of the machine, to the people whose job is to deal with people like me.David:What I worry about is that there are other parts of the machine, whether it's the Communist Youth League or whether it's the ministry of state security or some other elements in the machine who do also see a tremendous value in delegitimizing Western media full stop, because if you're being criticized and you don't enjoy it. Tactic number one, whether you are Donald Trump talking about fake news, or Vladimir Putin talking about hostile foreign forces, or the Chinese is to delegitimize your critics.David:And I do think that that is going on in a way that in the four years that I've been here this time. And if, I think back to my time here 20 years ago, I do think the attempts to go after and intimidate and delegitimize the Western media they're getting more aggressive and they're trying new tactics, which are pretty concerning.Bill:So that's a great segue into the next question. But first, I just want to ask the nationalist website that you said ran Sai Lei's piece that was Guancha.cn?David:Yeah. And so it's probably not secret, but so I know a bit, Eric Li, Li Shimo, the co-founder Guancha.Bill:Eric actually famous for his TED Talk, went to Stanford business school, venture capitalist. And now, I guess he's affiliated with Fudan, And is quite an active funder of all sorts of online discourse it seems among other things.David:That's right. And I would point out that The Economist, we have this by invitation online debate platform and we invite people to contribute. And we did in fact, run a piece by Eric Li, the co-founder of Guancha, the nationalist website a couple of weeks before this attack, that Guancha ran. And I actually had debate with some colleagues about this, about whether as liberals, we're the suckers that allow people who attack us to write, he wrote a very cogent, but fairly familiar argument about the performance legitimacy, the communist party and how that was superior to Western liberal democracy.David:And I think that it's the price of being a liberal newspaper. If we take that seriously, then we occasionally have to give a platform to people who will then turn around and attack us. And if I'm going to live in China and not see of my family for a very long period of time, and it's a privilege to live in China, but there are costs. If you are an expert, then I'm not ready to give up on the idea of talking to people who we strongly disagree with. If I'm going to commit to living here to me the only reason to do that is so you talk to people, not just liberals who we agree with, but people who strongly disagree with us.Bill:No. And I think that's right. And I think that also ties in for many years, predating Xi Jinping there's been this long stated goal for China to increase its global discourse power as they call it. And to spread more the tell the truth, tell the real story, spread more positive energy about China globally instead of having foreign and especially Western, or I think, and this ties into some of the national stuff increasing what we hear is called the Anglo-Saxons media dominate the global discourse about China. And to be fair, China has a point. I mean, there should be more Chinese voices talking about China globally.Bill:That's not an unreasonable desire, or request from a country as big and powerful as China is. One thing that seems like a problem is on the one hand you've got, the policy makers are pushing to improve and better control discourse about China globally. At the same time, they're increasing their control over the domestic discourse inside the PRC about the rest of the world. And so in some ways, yes, there's an imbalance globally, but there's also a massive imbalance domestically, which seems to fit into what you just went through with Sai Lei and where the trends are. I don't know. I mean, how does China tell a more convincing story to the world in a way that isn't just a constant struggle to use the term they actually use, but more of an actual fact based honest discussion, or is that something that we're just not going to see anytime soon?David:I think there's a couple of elements to that. I mean, you are absolutely right that China like any country has the right to want to draw the attention of the world to stuff that China does. That's impressive. And I do think, one of my arguments when I talk to Chinese officials as to why they should keep giving out visas to people like me is, when I think back to the beginning of the COVID pandemic, I've not left China for more than two years. I've not left since the pandemic began, you had a lot of media writing that this incredibly ferocious crackdown was going to be very unpopular with the Chinese public. And that's because of the very beginning you had people, there lots of stuff on Chinese social media, little videos of people being beaten up by some [inaudible 00:16:26] in a village or tied to a tree, or their doors being welded shot.David:And it did look unbelievably thuggish. And people playing Majiang being arrested. But actually about three weeks into the pandemic, and I was traveling outside Beijing and going to villages and then coming back and doing the quarantine, you'd go into these villages in the middle of Henan or Hunan. And you'd have the earth bomb at the entrance to the village and all the old guys in the red arm bands. And the pitchforks and the school desk, or the entrance to the village with a piece of paper, because you got to have paperwork as well. And you've realized that this incredibly strict grassroots control system that they'd put in motion, the grid management, the fact that the village loud speakers were back up and running and broadcasting propaganda was actually a source of comfort.David:That it gave people a sense that they could do something to keep this frightening disease at bay. And I think to me, that's an absolute example that it's in China's interest to have Western journalists in China because it was only being in China that made me realize that this strictness was actually welcomed by a lot of Chinese people. It made them feel safe and it made them feel that they were contributing to a national course by locking themselves indoors and obeying these sometimes very strange and arbitrary rules. In addition, I think you are absolutely right, China has the right to want the foreign media to report that stuff.David:Instead of looking at China through a Western lens and saying, this is draconian, this is ferocious, this is abuse of human rights. It's absolutely appropriate for China to say no, if you're doing your job properly, you will try and understand this place on China's own terms. You will allow Chinese voices into your reporting and let them tell the world that they're actually comforted by this extremely strict zero COVID policy, which is tremendously popular with the majority of the Chinese public. That is a completely legitimate ambition. And I never failed to take the chance to tell officials that's why they should give visas to have journalists in the country, because if you're not in the country, you can't think that stuff up.David:What I think is much more problematic is that there is alongside that legitimate desire to have China understood on China's own terms, there is a very conscious strategy underway, which is talked about by some of the academics at Fudan who work for Eric Li at Guancha as a discourse war, a narrative war, or to redefine certain key terms.Bill:And the term and the term is really is like struggle. I mean, they see it as a public opinion war globally. I mean, that the language is very martial in Chinese.David:Absolutely. Yeah. And do not say that we are not a democracy. If you say that we are not a democracy, you are ignoring our tremendous success in handling COVID. We are a whole society democracy, which it's basically a performance legitimacy argument, or a collective utilitarian, the maximizing the benefits for the largest number of argument. It's not particularly new, but the aggression with which it's being pushed is new and the extraordinary resources they put into going after Western media for the language that we use of our China. And I had a very interesting conversation with a CGTN commentator who attacked me online, on Twitter and said that I was a... It was sort of like you scratch an English when you'll find a drug dealer or a pirate.David:Now there's a lot of Opium War rhetoric around if you're a British journalist in China. You're never too far from Opium War reference. And for the record, I don't approve of the war, but it was also before my time. So I actually, the guy attacked me fairly aggressively on Twitter. So I said, can you try and be professional? I'm being professional here why won't you be professional. He invited me with coffee. So we had coffee. And we talked about his work for CGTN and for Chaguan and his view of his interactions to Western media. And he said, this very revealing thing. He said, the reason we do this stuff is because it works.David:He said, I can't tell you how many Western diplomats, or Western journalists they whine. And they moan. And they say, how aggressive China is now and how upset all this Wolf warrior stuff is and how China is doing itself damage. And he goes, we're not, it's working. You in the Western media, used to routinely say that the national people's Congress was a rubber stamp parliament. And because we went after you again and again, you see news organizations no longer as quick to use that. Because we went after you calling us a dictatorship, you're now slower to use that term because we went after you about human rights and how it has different meanings in different countries. We think it's having an effect.David:And so I think that this attempt to grind us down is working, although in their view, it's working. And I think that, that ties in with a broader conversation that I have a lot in Beijing with foreign ambassadors or foreign diplomats who they get called into the foreign ministry, treated politically aggressively and shouted at and humiliated. And they say, how does the Chinese side not see that this causes them problems? And I think that in this moment of, as you say, an era of struggle, this phrase that we see from speeches, from leaders, including Xi, about an era of change, not seen in 100 years.David:They really do feel that as the West, particularly America is in decline and as China is rising, that it's almost like there's a turbulence in the sky where these two the two axis are crossing. And that China has to just push through that turbulence. To use a story that I had kept secret for a long time, that I put in a column when Michael Kovrig was released. So, listeners will remember Michael Kovrig was one of the two Canadians who was held cover couple of years, basically as a hostage by the Chinese state security. And fairly early on, I had heard from some diplomats in Beijing from another Western embassy, not the UK, I should say, that the fact that Michael Kovrig in detention was being questioned, not just about his work for an NGO, the international crisis group that he was doing when he was picked up.David:But he was also being questioned about work he'd been doing for the Canadian embassy when he had diplomatic immunity. The fact that that was going on was frightening to Western diplomats in Beijing. And soon after that conversation, I was sitting there talking to this guy, reasonably senior official. And I said to him, I explained this conversation to him. And I said, I've just been having a conversation with these diplomats. And they said, the word that they used was frightened about what you are doing to Michael Kovrig. And I said, how does it help China to frighten people from that country?David:And he'd been pretty cheerful up till then. He switched to English so that he could be sure that I understood everything he wanted to say to me. And he said, this absolute glacial tone. He said, Canada needs to feel pain. So that the next time America asks an ally to help attack China, that ally will think twice. And that's it.Bill:That's it. And it probably works.David:It works. And yeah. So I think that, again, one of the things I think is a value of being here is you have these conversations where the fact that we in the West think that China is inevitably making a mistake by being much more aggressive. I don't think that's how a big part of the machine here sees it. I think they think it worked.Bill:No. I agree. And I'm not actually sure that they're making a mistake because if you look at so far, what have the cost been? As you said, I mean, behavior is shift, but I think it's definitely open for question. I mean, it's like the assumptions you still see this week, multiple columns about how China's COVID policy is inevitably going to fail. And I'm sitting here in DC, we're about to cross a million people dead in this country, and I'm thinking what's failure. It's a very interesting time.Bill:I mean, to that point about this attitude and the way that there seem to be prosecuting a very top down or top level design communication strategy, Zhang Weiwei, who's at Fudan University. And also I think Eric Li is a closer associate of his, he actually was the, discussant at a Politburo study session. One of the monthly study sessions a few months ago, where I think the theme was on improving international communication. And talking about, again, how to better tell China's story, how to increase the global discourse power.Bill:Some people saw that as, oh, they're going to be nicer because they want to have a more lovable China image. I’m very skeptical because I think that this more aggressive tone, the shorthand is “Wolf warriors. wolf-warriorism”, I think really that seems to me to be more of a fundamental tenant of Xi Jinping being thought on diplomacy, about how China communicates to the world. I mean, how do you see it and how does this get better, or does it not get better for a while?David:It's a really important question. So I think, what do they think they're up to? To simplify and exaggerate a bit, I think that China, and this is not just a guess, this is based on off the record conversations with some pretty senior Chinese figures, they believe that the Western world, but in particular, the United States is too ignorant and unimaginative and Western centric, and probably too racist to understand that China is going to succeed, that China is winning and that the West is in really decadent decline.David:And so I think that these aggressive acts like detaining the two Michaels or their diplomatic an economic coercion of countries like Australia or Lithuania. They hear all the Pearl clutching dismay from high officials in Brussels, or in Washington DC-Bill:And the op-eds in big papers about how awful this is and-David:And the op-eds and yeah, self-defeating, and all those things. But I think that what they believe they are doing is delivering an educational dose of pain and I'm quoting a Chinese official with the word pain. And it is to shock us because we are too mule headed and thick to understand that China is winning and we are losing. And so they're going to keep delivering educational doses of pain until we get it. I think they think that's what they're up to-Bill:And by getting it basically stepping a side in certain areas and letting the Chinese pursue some of their key goals, the core interests, whatever you want to call it, that we, yeah.David:That we accommodate. Yeah. The fundamental message I'm quoting a smart friend of mine in Beijing here is China's rise is inevitable. Resistance is futile.Bill:Right. Resistance is futile.David:And if you accommodate us, we'll make it worth your while. It's the key message. And they think that some people are proving dimer and slower and more reluctant to pick that message up and above all Americans and Anglo Saxons. And so they're giving us the touch, the whip. Now, do I think that, that is inevitably going to be great for them? And you ask how does this end well? I mean, I guess my reason for thinking that they may yet pay some price, not a total price, is that they are engaged in a giant experiment. The Chinese government and party are engaged in a giant experiment, that it didn't matter that much, that the Western world was permissive and open to engagement with China.David:That, That wasn't really integral to their economic rise for the last 40 years that China basically did it by itself. And that if the Western world becomes more suspicious and more hostile, that China will not pay a very substantial price because its market power and its own manufacturing, industrial strength, we'll push on through. And so there'll be a period of turbulence and then we'll realized that we have to accommodate. And I think that in many cases they will be right. There will be sectors where industries don't leave China. They in fact, double down and reinvest and we're seeing that right now, but I do worry that there are going to be real costs paid.David:I mean, when I think back to... I did a special report for The Economists in May, 2019 about us generations. And one of the parts of that was the extraordinary number of Chinese students in us colleges. And I went to the University of Iowa and I spoke to Chinese students and you know that now, the levels of nationalism and hostility on both sides and the fear in American campuses, that's a real cost. I mean, I think if you imagine China's relationship with the Western world, particularly the U.S. as a fork in the road with two forks, one total engagement, one total decoupling, then absolutely China is right. There's not going to be total decoupling because we are as dependent as we were on China's, it's just-Bill:Right. Not realistic.David:China is an enormous market and also the best place to get a lot of stuff made. But I wonder, and it's an image I've used in a column, I think. I think that the relationship is not a fork in the road with two forks. It's a tree with a million branches. And each of those branches is a decision. Does this Western university sign a partnership with that Chinese university? Does this Western company get bought by a Chinese company? Does the government approve of that? Does this Western media organization sign a partnership with a Chinese media organization?David:Does this Western country buy a 5g network or an airline or a data cloud service or autonomous vehicles from China that are products and services with very high value added where China wants to be a dominant player. And that's an entirely reasonable ambition, because China's a big high tech power now. But a lot of these very high value added services or these relationships between universities, or businesses, or governments in the absence of trust, they don't make a bunch of sense because if you don't trust the company, who's cloud is holding your data or the company who's made you the autonomous car, which is filled with microphones and sensors and knows where you were last night and what you said in your car last night, if you don't trust that company or the country that made that, none of that makes sense.David:And I think that China's willingness to show its teeth and to use economic coercion and to go to European governments and say, if you don't take a fine Chinese 5g network we're going to hurt you. If you boil that down to a bumper sticker, that's China saying to the world, or certainly to the Western world stay open to China, or China will hurt you. Trust China or China will hurt you. That's the core message for a lot of these Wolf warrior ambassadors. And that's the core message to people like me, a guy who writes a column living in Beijing. And a lot of the time China's market power will make that okay. But I think that's, if you look at that tree with a million decisions, maybe more of those than China was expecting will click from a yes to a no.David:If you're a Western university, do you now open that campus in Shanghai? Do you trust your local Chinese partner when they say that your academics are going to have freedom of speech? And what's heartbreaking about that is that the victims of that are not going to be the politic bureau it's going to be people on the ground, it's going to be researchers and students and consumers and-Bill:On both sides. I mean, that's-David:On both sides. Yeah.Bill:Yeah. That's the problem.David:Yeah.Bill:So that's uplifting. No, I mean, I-David:I've got worse.Bill:Wait until the next question. I think I really appreciate your time and it'd be respective but I just have two more questions. One is really about just being a foreign correspondent in China and the Foreign correspondents' Club of China put out its annual report, I think earlier this week. And it's depressing you read as it's been in years and every year is extremely depressing, but one of the backdrops is really the first foreign ministry press conference of the last year of 2021. It really struck me that Hua Chunying, who is... She's now I think assistant foreign minister, vice foreign minister at the time, she was the head of the information office in I think the one of the spokespeople, she made a statement about how it was kicking off the 100th anniversary year.Bill:And I'm just going to read her couple sentences to get a sense of the language. So she said, and this was on the, I think it was January 4th, 2021, "In the 1930s and 1940s when the Guangdong government sealed off Yunnan and spared, no efforts to demonize the CPC foreign journalists like Americans, Edgar Snow, Anna Louise Strong and Agnes Smedley, curious about who and what the CPC is, chose to blend in with the CPC members in Yunnan and wrote many objective reports as well as works like the famous Red star over China, giving the world, the first clip of the CPC and its endeavor in uniting and leading the Chinese people in pursuing national independence and liberation."Bill:And then went on with more stuff about how basically wanting foreign correspondents to be like Snow, Strong or Smedley. How did that go over? And I mean, is that just part of the, your welcome as long as you're telling the right story message?David:So there was a certain amount of... Yeah. I mean, we also got this from our handlers at the MFA, why couldn't it be more like Edgar Snow? And I fear the first time I had that line in the meeting, I was like, well, he was a communist, if that's the bar, then I'm probably going to meet that one. Edgar Snow went to Yan’an he spent a tremendous amount of time in Mao hours interviewing Mao. If Xi Jinping wants to let me interview him for hours, I'd be up for that. But I would point out that Edgar Snow, after interviewing Mao for hours, then handed the transcripts over to Mao and had them edited and then handed back to him. And that probably would not be-Bill:But doesn't work at The Economist.David:That wouldn't fly with my editors. No. So I think we may have an inseparable problem there. Look, isn't it the phrase that Trump people used to talk about working the refs? I mean, what government doesn't want to work the refs. So, that's part of it. And I'm a big boy, I've been at Trump rallies and had people scream at me and tell me, I'm fake news. And it was still a good thing to meet. I've interviewed Afghan warlords who had happily killed me, but at that precise moment, they wanted the Americans to drop a bomb on the mountain opposite.David:And so they were willing to have me in their encampment. So, the worker of being a journalist, you need to go and talk to people who don't necessarily agree with you or like you and that's the deal. So I'm not particularly upset by that. What is worrying and I think this is shown in the FCC annual server, which is based on asking journalists in China how their job goes at the moment is there is a sense that the Chinese machine and in particular things like the communist youth league have been very effective at whipping up low public opinion.David:So when we saw the floods in Hunan Province in the summer of 2021, where in fact, we recently just found out that central government punished a whole bunch of officials who had covered up the death doll there, journalists who went down there to report this perfectly legitimate, large news story, the communist youth league among other organizations put out notices on their social media feeds telling people they're a hostile foreign journalists trying to make China look bad, to not talk to them, if you see them, tell us where they are. And you've got these very angry crowds chasing journalists around Hunan in a fairly worry way.David:And again, if you're a foreign correspondent in another country, we are guests in China. So, the Chinese people, they don't have to love me. I hope that they will answer my questions, because I think I'm trying to report this place fairly, but I'm not demanding red carpet treatment, but there is a sense that the very powerful propaganda machine here is whipping up very deliberately something that goes beyond just be careful about talking to foreign journalists. And I think in particular, one thing that I should say is that as a middle aged English guy with gray hair, I still have an easier time of it by far because some of the nastiest attacks, including from  the nastiest online nationalist trolls.David:They're not just nationalists, but they're also sexist and chauvinist and the people who I think really deserve far more sympathy than some like me is Chinese American, or Chinese Australian, or Chinese Canadian journalists, particularly young women journalists.Bill:I know Emily Feng at NPR was just the subject of a really nasty spate of attacks online about some of her reporting.David:And it's not just Emily, there's a whole-Bill:Right. There's a whole bunch.David:There's a whole bunch of them. And they get called you know er guizi all sorts of [crosstalk 00:37:15]. And this idea and all this horrible stuff about being race traitors and again, one of the conversations I've had with Chinese officials is, if you keep this up, someone is going to get physically hurt. And I don't think that's what you want. David:And again, I fall back on the fact that I'm a Western liberal. What I say to them is if you tell me that a Chinese-British journalist is not as British as me, then you are to my mind, that's racial prejudice. And if some right wing Western white politician said to me that a Chinese immigrant wasn't fully American, or wasn't fully British, that's racism, right?Bill:That's racism. Yeah.David:And I think that is the really troubling element to this level of nationalism. China is a very big country that does some very impressive things that does some less impressive things and does some very wicked things, but we have every reason to give it credit for the things it does well. And it is not that surprising when any government tries to work the refs.David:And get the best coverage they can by intimidating us and calling us out. I've interviewed Donald Trump and he asked me, when are you going to write something nice about me? I mean, we're grownups, this is how it works, but if they are making it toxic for young women journalists to work in China, or if they are driving foreign correspondent out of China, because their families they're under such intimidation that they can't even go on holiday without their children being followed around by secret police. I think there will be a cost.Bill:But that may be a what the Chinese side sees as a benefit, because then it opens the field for them controlling how the story's told. And then you can bring in a bunch of people or pull a bunch of people out of the foreigners working for state media, hey, the new Edgar Snow, the new Agnes Smedley. I mean, that is one of the things that I think potentially is what they're trying to do, which seems self-defeating, but as we've been discussing, what we think is self-defeating the policy makers, or some of them may see as a success.David:So what I think they're confident of is that being aggressive and making us much more jumpy is a win, but throwing all of us out, I think the people at the top get that, that's not a win because the New York times and the BBC and the Washington post, they're still going to cover China, even if they can't have people in China. And a bunch of that coverage is not going to be stuff that China likes, North Korea doesn't have any resident foreign correspondent, but it doesn't get a great press.Bill:And the other group, of course, but beyond the foreign journalists is all the PRC national journalists working for the foreign correspondent as researchers and, I mean, many of them journalists in all but name because they can't legally be that I've certainly, been hearing some pretty distressing stories about how much pressure they're under. And I think they're in almost an impossible situation it seems like right now.David:Now they're amazingly brave people. They're completely integral to our coverage. And many of them, as you say, they're journalists who in any other country, we would be getting to write stuff with their own bylines. I mean, in incredibly cautious about what we have our Chinese colleagues do now, because they are under tremendous pressure. I mean, not naming news organizations, but the just the level of harassment of them and their families and is really bad. And it's the most cynical attempt to make it difficult for us to do our jobs and to divide Chinese people from the Western media.David:But fundamentally at some level, this does not end well because, and this is not me just talking up the role of the Western media, because I think we're magnificently important people, but at some level there's a big problem under way with this level of nationalism in modern China. I was in China in the '90s, you were in China in the '90s, I think. We remember it was-Bill:'80s, '90s, 2000s. Yeah.David:Yeah. You were there before me, but it was not a Jeffersonian democracy. It was a dictatorship, but this level of nationalism is much more serious now. Why does that matter? Well, because I think that for a lot of particularly young Chinese, the gap between their self perception and the outside world's perception of China has become unbearably wide. They think this country has never been so impressive and admirable. And yet I keep seeing foreign media questioning us and criticizing us. And that just enrages them. They can't conceive of any sincere principle on our part that would make us criticize China that way.David:And going back to my conversation with the online nationalist Sai Lei, when he was saying, well, how would the Americans take it if they were told that eating avocados was bad for the environment? When I said to him, but they are told that. There are lots of environmental NGOs that talk about sustainable fisheries, or the cost, the carbon footprint of crops and things in the West. The two countries are pulling apart and the pandemic has just accelerated that process. And so if you are a Chinese nationalist, not only are you angry about being criticized, but you don't believe that the West is ever critical about itself. You think that the West is only bent on criticizing China. And that gap in perceptions is just really dangerously wide.Bill:And widening, it seems like. I mean, I'm not there now, but it certainly, from everything I can see outside of China, it feels like that's what's happening too.David:Yeah. We need to know more about China.Bill:I agree.David:And report more about China. And I don't just say that because that's how I earn my living. I think it's really, really dangerous for us to think that the solution is less reporting about China.Bill:Well, and certainly, I mean, and all sorts of avenues, not just media, but all sorts of avenues, we're seeing a constriction of information getting out of China. And on the one hand China's growing in importance globally and power globally. And on the other hand, our ability to understand the place seems to be getting harder. And it goes back to, I mean, we just, I think it'll be a mistake if we just get forced into accepting the official version of what China is. That's disseminated through the officially allowed and sanctioned outlets in China. Maybe that'll help China, but I'm not sure it helps the rest of the world.David:And it's not compatible with China's ambitions to be a high tech superpower. China wants to be a country that doesn't just-Bill:That's a very fundamental contradiction.David:Yeah. China wants to sell us vaccines and wants the Western world to buy Chinese vaccines and approve Chinese vaccines. Why has the FDA not yet approved Chinese vaccines? Well, one reason is because China hasn't released the data. You can't play this secretive defensive hermit state and be a global high tech superpower. And China is a very, very big country with a lot of good universities, a lot of smart people. It has every right to compete at the highest levels in global high tech. But you can't do that, if you are not willing to earn trust by sharing the data, or by letting your companies be audited, when they list overseas. They need to decide.Bill:Or being able to handle legitimate criticism. I mean, certainly there has been illegitimate criticism and the attacks on the Western media, I mean, I know the BBC was a frequent target last year. And I think they were able to pull out some errors of the reporting and then magnify it. I mean, it is a struggle. And I think one of the things I think is on the Chinese side, they're very much geared up for this ongoing global opinion struggle. And we're not and we're never going to be, because it's just not how our systems are structured. So it's going to be an interesting few years.David:It is. And it's a tremendous privilege to still be here. And as long as I'm allowed, I'm going to keep letting Chinese people, letting their voices be heard in my column. That's what I think I'm here for.Bill:Okay. Last question. Just given your experience in living in DC and writing for The Economist from here, where do you see us, China relations going? And there is a one direct connection to what we just talked about, the foreign journalists where there theoretically has been some sort of an improvement or a deal around allowing more journalists from each side to go to other country. Although what I've heard is that the Chinese side was been very clear that some of the folks who were forced to leave or were experienced are not going to be welcome back. It's going to have to be a whole new crop of people who go in for these places, which again, seems to be, we don't want people who have priors or longer time on the ground, potentially.David:We think that each of the big American news organizations just going to get at least one visa, initially. And that Is going to be this deal done and it's high time. And you're right, as far as we can tell the people who were expelled or forced to leave are not going to come back. And that's a real tragedy because I have Chinese officials say to me, we wish that the Western media sent people who speak good Chinese and who understand China. And I was like Ian Johnson and Chris Buckley, these people lived for, their depth of knowledge and their love for China was absolutely unrivaled. So, if you're going to throw those people out, you can't complain about journalists who don't like China.Bill:Exactly.David:The general trend of U.S. China relations. to be of optimistic about the trend of U.S. China relations I'd have to be more optimistic than I currently am about the state of U.S. Politics. And there's a kind of general observation, which is that I think that American democracy is in very bad shape right now. And I wish that some of the China hawks in Congress, particularly on the Republican side, who are also willing to imply, for example, that the 2020 election was stolen, that there was massive fraud every time they say that stuff, they're making an in-kind contribution to the budget of the Chinese propaganda department.Bill:I agree completely there. It's not a joke because it's too serious, but it's just ludicrous, hypocrisy and shortsightedness. It's disgusting.David:You cannot be a patriotic American political leader and tell lies about the state of American democracy. And then say that you are concerned about China's rise. So there's a general observation about, if dysfunction continues at this level, then-Bill:No wonder the Chinese are so confident.David:Yeah. I mean, the Chinese line on president Biden is interesting. One of the big things about my first couple of years here when president Trump was still in office was, I'd any number of people in the states saying confidently that Donald Trump was a tremendous China hawk. I never believed. And I've interviewed Trump a few times and spoken to him about China and spoken to his China people. I never believed that Donald Trump himself was a China hawk. If you define a China hawk, as someone who has principled objections to the way that China runs itself. I think that Donald Trump couldn't care less about the Uighurs and Xinjiang. In fact, we know he approved to what they were doing.David:Couldn't care less about Hong Kong couldn't care less frankly, about Taiwan. His objection to the China relationship was that I think he thinks the American economy is the big piece of real estate, and you should pay rent to access it. And he thought China wasn't paying enough rent. So he was having a rent review. I mean, that's what the guy. It was about, they needed to pay more and then he was going to be happy. So he was not a China hawk. What was really interesting was that here in China, officials would be pretty open by the end, took them time to get their heads around Trump. For a long time they thought he was New York business guy. Then they realized that was, he wasn't actually like the other New York business guy they knew.David:And then they thought he was like a super China hawk. And then they realized that that wasn't true. By the end, they had a nail. They thought he was a very transactional guy. And the deal that they could do with him was one that they were happy to do, because it didn't really involve structural change on the Chinese side. Then their message about Joe Biden is that he is weak and old and lacks control of Congress. And that he is, this is from scholars rather than officials, I should say, but their view is, why would China spend political capital on the guy who's going to lose the next election?Bill:And not only the next election but is probably going to lose control of the House, at least in nine, what is it? Nine months or 10 months. So why worry? And that they do and I think, I mean, one of the big milestones will be the national security strategy, the national defense strategy, which in the Trump administration they came out in the December of the first year and then January for the NDS. It's February, we still haven't seen those here. I think certainly as you said, but certainly from Chinese interlock is the sense of, is that they can't come to an agreement on what it should be, the U.S. China policy.David:Yeah. And China has some legitimate concerns. I mean, for example, if you are Xi Jinping and you're trying to work out how ambitious your climate change timetables going to be. How much pain are you going to ask co-producing provinces in the Northeast to take to get out to carbon neutrality as quickly as say, the Europeans are pushing you to do. And part of the equation is America going to take some pain too, or are we going to end up being uncompetitive? Because America's not actually going to do the right thing? Well, Joe Biden can talk a good game on climate as an area for cooperation with China. But if he loses the next election and Donald Trump or someone like Donald Trump wins the White House then if you're shooting pink, why would you kind of strike a painful deal with America if you don't think it's going to last beyond 2024?Bill:Right. You'll do what makes sense for your country and not offer anything up to America because we already have a record of backing out of these deals. That's the problem.David:So that has real world consequences. The one thing that I will say about the U.S. China relationship, and I'm very, very pessimistic about the fact that the two sides, they don't share a vision of how this ends well. There is no end game that I think makes both sides happy, because I think the Chinese vision is America sucks it up and accommodates.Bill:Right. Resistance is futile.David:Yeah, exactly. And the American vision, I think, is that China stumbles, that China is making mistakes, that the state is getting involved in the economy too much. That Xi Jinping is centralizing power too much. And that somehow China's going to make so many mistakes that it ends up to feed defeating itself. I think that's one of the arguments you here in DC.Bill:Yes. It's wishful thinking it's not necessarily based on a rigid rigorous analysis. It seems like it's much more wishful thinking.David:So, that is a reason to be pessimistic about the medium and the long-term. The one thing that I will say based here in China is that when I write really specific color about things like what does China think of the idea of Russia invading Ukraine? And I talk to really serious scholars who spent their lives studying things like Russia policy or foreign policy or international relations, or if I talk to really senior tech people, Chinese tech companies, they do take America's power very seriously. Even though there is absolutely sincere disdain for American political dysfunction.David:I think that America's innovation power, the areas of technology, whether it's semiconductors or some forms of AI algorithms where America just really is still ahead by a long way, the really serious people, when you talk to them off the record, they still take America seriously. And on that Ukraine example, what was really interesting, the prompt for that was seeing commentators in the U.S. saying that Xi Jinping would like Putin to invade Ukraine because this was going to be a test that Biden was going to fail and America was going to look weak. And maybe that would lead Xi Jinping to then invade Taiwan.David:And when I spoke to Chinese scholars, really serious Chinese scholars of Russia, their Irish, it's like, no, no, no. Russia is an economy, the size of Guangdong and they sell us oil and gas, which is nice. But our trade to them is not enough to sacrifice our relationship with America.Bill:Thank you, David Rennie. That was a really good conversation. I think very useful, very illuminating. The links, some of the articles we talked about, the links will be in the show notes. And just a note on the schedule for the sinocism podcast. It is not, I think going to be weekly or biweekly as I thought originally, I'm still working it out, but it will be every, at least once a month. I hope it's the plan, if not, a little more frequent depending on the guests.Bill:So thanks for your patience and look forward to hearing from you. I love your feedback. The transcript will be on the website when it goes live. So please let me know what you think. And as always, you can sign up for sinocism at sinocism.com, S-I-N-O-C-I-S-M.com. Thank you.

Ainda é cedo para termos ideia se a vacina trará contraindicações sérias e a que perfil de pessoas isto pode ser uma realidade ou não. Pesquisas estão sendo feitas em diversos centros, China, Inglaterra e Estados Unidos há universidades dedicadas a compreender a reação que as pessoas têm em relação a vacinação. Entre os que mais se dedicam a entender as consequências da vacinação no organismo humano estão as faculdades chinesas. A de Fudan, em Xangai, fez estudos com dados de diversas partes do mundo, inclusive dos Estados Unidos, e chegou a uma estimativa parcial de 8,2 mortes por milhão de vacinados. Se estes dados estiverem certos, o Brasil teria 1,350 óbitos por causa de Covid-19. Outro levantamento, da Universidade de Pequim, mostra que as mortes por vacinação de Covid-19 pode ser de 0,2 para cada mil habitantes. Neste caso, o Brasil teria, até este momento, 2.800 mortes pela imunização. Dados levantados pelo Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), há mais de 162 mil registros de mortes por causas indeterminadas em 2021. Ligadas a Covid-19 são 709 mortes. Mas ainda são imprecisos e precisam ser investigados. Porém, do outro lado da questão da eficiência da Covid-19, os levantamentos feitos por secretarias municipais e estaduais confirmam a eficiência da vacinação. Uma demonstração objetiva desta afirmação é o levantamento do Instituto Butantan feito na cidade de Serrana, no interior de São Paulo, mostra que a vacinação foi determinante para reduzir 96% dos óbitos pelo Coronavírus. Por isso, diante disso, defenda a vacinação. Ela é a arma que temos mais eficiente para evitar complicações é óbitos por Covid-19.

En Hongrie, le Premier ministre souverainiste ne cesse de faire des pieds de nez à l'Europe et de faire les yeux doux à la Chine. Dernier épisode de la sinophilie de Viktor Orban : en décembre 2019, il a signé un accord avec Pékin, qui stipule que Budapest va accueillir le campus européen de l'université Fudan de Shanghaï. Pour la première fois, une université chinoise s'implante en Europe. Ce qui a provoqué beaucoup d'opposition dans le pays.

Az utóbbi években azt vettem észre, hogy az Európai országok belpolitikai kampányaiban egyre inkább szerepet kap az EUs szégyenpadra ültetett országok, pl. a Magyarországhoz, vagy Lengyelországhoz való viszony is, mint egyfajta értékalapú elköteleződés, hitelességi vagy morális mérce. Pl. Hollandia, Luxembourg, Belgium vagy Németország, A Deutsche Welle ami a német közszolgálati adó globális angol nyelvű programja, hosszú ideje nagyon kemény hangvételű, hosszabb, elemző összeállításokban kritizálja az Orbán kormány különböző lépéseit, pl. a menekültekkel való bánásmóddal, az EUs pénzek felhasználásával, a korrupcióval és a jogállamisággal és sajtószabadsággal kapcsolatosan, a CEU és a Fudan ügye, legutóbb az LMBTQ kissebséget érintő törvénymódosítással miatt. - Mennyire vált belpolitikai esetleg kampánytémává a Magyar kormány politikajához való viszonyulás, esetleges változtatás az eddig sokat kritizált német passzivitáson való esetleges változtatás, amit legtöbben a német autóipari és hadiipari cégekkel kötött üzleti megállapodások eredményeként értékelnek. - Várható-e változás ebben a viszonyban attól függően, hogy milyen szövetségi kormány alakul, és ki lesz az új kancellár? #ZentaiPéter #zentaip #klubrádió #zentai #berlin #magyarrádió #brexit #huxit #orbán #bánó #gyurcsány #bolgár #bolgárgyörgy #kossuthrádió #szamárpad #szamarpad #szamárpadshorts #stirlitz #ceu #fudan #merkel #eu #lmbtq

En Hongrie, le Premier ministre nationaliste Viktor Orban ne cesse de faire les yeux doux à la Chine. Son gouvernement a acheté des millions de doses du vaccin chinois, confié à la Chine la construction d'une ligne de train entre Budapest et Belgrade. Viktor Orban ne cesse de torpiller la politique étrangère de l'Union européenne, en refusant de s'associer aux déclarations qui critiquent la répression des droits de l'homme par Pékin. Et voilà qu'il invite l'université Fudan de Shanghai à ouvrir son premier campus européen à Budapest. L'affaire inquiète Washington et suscite un vif débat en Hongrie.

Milyen hatása van, ha megírunk egy oknyomozó cikket? Áprilisban a Direkt36 írta meg, hogy Budapestre jön a kínai Fudan Egyetem - azóta tüntetés és aláírásgyűjtés szerveződött, a téma a parlamentben is napirenden van. Mitől függ az, hogy milyen hatást ér el egy sztori? Mi számít egyáltalán hatásnak? Erről beszélgetett Zöldi Blanka műsorvezető Panyi Szabolccsal, a Fudan-cikk szerzőjével, Pethő Andrással, a Direkt36 egyik alapítójával és Polyák Gáborral, a Mérték Médiaelemző Műhely vezetőjével.

Sul Corriere della Sera, l'analisi di Federico Fubini sul Presidente ungherese Orbán, dal momento che il partito del premier ungherese è in ritardo di dieci punti sul cartello delle opposizioni e la forbice si sta allargando: la ri-elezione non è affatto sicura. Uno dei principali fattori è certamente la mala gestione della pandemia."Non molto dopo aver allontanato la Central European University, Orbán in realtà ha presentato un'alternativa: un enorme campus alla periferia di Budapest per la Fudan University, cinese ma finanziata con circa 1,5 miliardi del bilancio pubblico magiaro. Non un'istituzione accademica qualunque. Nel dicembre del 2019 Fudan ha cancellato dal suo statuto il principio di «indipendenza e libertà di pensiero» e l'ha sostituito con «l'impegno a seguire la leadership del partito comunista». Di recente Orbán ha ricambiato mettendo il veto, da solo, su una dichiarazione europea che criticava la repressione cinese a Hong Kong [...]"."Chi non trova e chi non vuole" è invece il corsivo di Concita De Gregorio su Repubblica: una riflessione sui sussidi. [...] "La domanda è: qual è il punto in cui i sostegni diventano più convenienti di uno stipendio, di un regolare rischio d'impresa? [...].

Avec Bruno Meyerfeld, de père français et de mère brésilienne, correspondant du Monde au Brésil depuis septembre 2019 après l’avoir été en Afrique de l’est, ce qui a valu à notre ami Richard Werly le plaisir d’éditer sous votre signature un « Kenya, les séismes du Rif » publié dans sa collection « l’Âme des peuples », aux éditons Nevicata, vous avez travaillé pour le service photo de l’International New York Times et pour Radio France, vous êtes diplômé de Sciences Po Paris avec des incursions en chinois à l’université Fudan de Shangaï et en anglais à la New York university, et, pour vous interroger, j’ai réuni François Bujon de l’Estang, Béatrice Giblin et Nicole Gnesotto …Le Brésil est la principale puissance économique d’Amérique du Sud. Au sein de la zone de libre-échange MERCOSUR, il représentait les trois quarts de la richesse produite en 2018 avec un PIB évalué à 1.869 milliards de dollars. Il est ainsi la 9e puissance économique mondiale et fait partie du groupe des BRICS qui rassemble les principaux pays émergents. Il compte plus de 210 millions d’habitants, la richesse par tête est estimée à près de 9 000 $.La société est divisée par de très fortes inégalités : en 2017, 5% des Brésiliens les plus riches possédaient autant que le reste de la population. La situation s’est aggravée avec la crise économique qui touche le pays depuis 2014. Le taux de pauvreté, en constante diminution depuis les années 90, est reparti à la hausse. De très fortes inégalités géographiques sont également observées entre le Nordeste et le Sudeste mais aussi entre les favellas et les banlieues résidentielles protégées.L’arrivée au pouvoir, en 2018, de Jair Bolsonaro a marqué la fin des 15 ans de règne du Parti des Travailleurs, le PT, sous les présidences de Lula puis de Dilma Rousseff entre 2010 et 2016. Ces gouvernements fédéraux de gauche ont mené des politiques de redistribution des richesses, réduisant ainsi considérablement le nombre de Brésiliens pauvres. Cependant, la corruption, systémique, a jeté le discrédit sur l’ensemble de la classe politique brésilienne, favorisant l’apparition de candidats marginaux. Après la destitution de la présidente Dilma Rousseff, son successeur Michel Temer, convaincu de corruption d’abord par la presse, puis par la justice dût renoncer à se présenter à l’élection présidentielle de 2018, celle que Bolsonaro a remportée avec 55,1% des voix alors que le candidat naturel du PT, l’ancien président Lula, était emprisonné et déclaré inéligible quelques semaines avant le scrutin.Depuis son accession au pouvoir, Jair Bolsonaro conserve le ton outrancier qui lui avait permis de se faire connaître au niveau national. Les politiques menées favorisent les grands propriétaires terriens, au détriment des populations amazoniennes et de la préservation de la plus grande forêt du monde. S’inspirant de Trump, le pouvoir bolsonariste fait grand usage des réseaux sociaux sans s’embarrasser de la vérité et continue de nier l’importance du danger du coronavirus. Bolsonaro, ancien militaire, a fait entrer de nombreux hauts gradés au gouvernement, ce qui ravive pour certains les souvenirs de la junte au pouvoir de 1964 à 1985.Bruno Meyerfeld, avec Jair Bolsonaro les Brésiliens et les observateurs étrangers que nous sommes ont-ils commis les mêmes erreurs qu’avec Donald Trump ?

O Novo Banco de Desenvolvimento (NDB, na sigla em inglês), mais conhecido como o banco do Brics, poderá ajudar o Brasil a se recuperar do tombo econômico causado pela pandemia de coronavírus. Agora sob a presidência de um brasileiro, o ex-secretário de Assuntos Internacionais do Ministério da Economia Marcos Troyjo, a instituição já acertou uma ajuda de US$ 1 bilhão para o país, que financiará programas sociais como a ajuda emergencial para a população mais vulnerável. No entanto, para além do auge da pandemia, o banco poderá abrir novas frentes de crédito para infraestruturas nos países do bloco de emergentes, que funcionam como motores da retomada da crise. "Se pensamos mais em longo prazo, existe um potencial gigantesco para a reconstrução da economia, não só do Brasil, no pós-pandemia. Esse é um ponto que o NDB e os multilaterais precisam olhar com bastante atenção, além dos governos”, explica Karin Vazquez, professora associada da Jindal Global University, de Nova Délhi (Índia), e pesquisadora do Centro de Estudos dos Brics da Universidade de Fudan, na China. O professor de Relações Internacionais Fábio Borges  fundador do Observatório do Brics da Unila (Universidade Federal da Integração Latino-Americana), concorda que o Brasil ganha com a presidência rotativa do banco nas mãos de um brasileiro: ele frisa que não apenas o governo federal poderá bater nessa porta, como os Estados e municípios. Nestes cinco anos de criação do Banco do Brics, do qual fazem parte ainda a Rússia, a Índia, a China e a África do Sul, a instituição soube construir credibilidade junto aos seus pares, como Banco Mundial e FMI (Fundo Monetário Internacional), mas também no mercado. "As agências de risco avaliam muito bem os cinco primeiros anos do banco do Brics, que ganhou duplo A e, em algumas, até triplo A”, frisa. "Ou seja, os projetos são sustentáveis, técnicos, com baixo risco, o que tem criado uma reputação internacional como qualquer banco." Ampliar o capital do banco A confiança no banco era uma etapa crucial para o NDB poder ampliar seu capital, um dos principais objetivos da gestão de Marcos Troyjo à frente da instituição, em especial junto a agentes privados. De perfil liberal e ex-pesquisador da Universidade de Columbia sobre as potências emergentes, o novo presidente tem as credenciais para assumir essa frente, na avaliação de Fábio Borges. "Diferentemente de outras áreas, em que estamos até sem ministro, ou com indicações ideológicas, como na Educação, neste ponto específico se escolheu um personagem que tem uma trajetória e coincidências com os objetivos do banco”, sublinha. "É uma mensagem positiva, porém, diante de um contexto maior, não será suficiente para mudar a imagem brasileira, que neste momento, por conta do coronavírus e outras questões, vem sendo muito deteriorada”, pondera o pesquisador. Cerca de dois terços dos projetos financiados pelo NDB são inovadores do ponto de vista da sustentabilidade, como investimentos em energias renováveis e logística limpa. O pesquisador da Unila nota que essa prioridade pode contribuir para o Brasil reforçar o foco nestes temas. "É interessante porque gera pressões. O Brasil preside um banco internacional que tem como lema a sustentabilidade, a inovação, que preza temas sensíveis como mudanças climáticas, energias renováveis. Fica muito contraditório o Brasil não se preocupar tanto com essas questões e aumenta a pressão para o Brasil dar respostas positivas a essas temáticas ambientais”, avalia Borges. Instituição é ferramenta geopolítica, mesmo se Brics estão enfraquecidos Num contexto de grave crise mundial pela pandemia, acentuada pelas disputas comerciais e diplomáticas entre Estados Unidos e China, o banco do Brics é uma ferramenta geopolítica importante, em especial para os russos e chineses. A instituição atua como um contraponto também aos nacionalismos em alta em diversos países – que já levaram Brasília a se indispor com a sua maior parceiro comercial, Pequim. A mudança no cenário internacional se reflete na relevância do Brics, em relação ao momento da criação do grupo, em 2009.  "No Brasil, temos um governo com um direcionamento visivelmente diferente tanto em relação à nossa relação bilateral com a China, quanto na visão para o Brics, do engajamento multilateral com a China e os outros três sócios. Essa ênfase mais tênue em relação aos Brics já vem dos governos anteriores, de Dilma e Temer”, destaca Karin. "A gente nota que o Brics, à medida em que entra nessa sua segunda década, tem uma articulação muito maior entre os países de forma bilateral do que em grupo." O próximo encontro dos ministros das Relações Exteriores dos países do Brics está marcado para setembro, na Rússia, se a pandemia de coronavírus permitir. Em julho, foi aprovada a criação de um escritório regional do NDB em São Paulo – a sede da instituição fica em Xangai, na China.

President Ronald Fudging Reagan Contact@historyuncensoredpod.com twitter.com/seth4nerds Facebook Uncensored Pods The President who fucked America, Yet left it wanting more.   Recap Quotes and other skullduggery from this podcast's favorite president.   "I am not worried about the deficit. It is big enough to take care of itself." —President Ronald Reagan   "Well, I learned a lot...I went down to (Latin America) to find out from them and (learn) their views. You'd be surprised. They're all individual countries." —President Ronald Reagan "Facts are stupid things." —Ronald Reagan, at the 1988 Republican National Convention, attempting to quote John Adams, who said, "Facts are stubborn things" We were told four years ago that 17 million people went to bed hungry every night. Well, that was probably true. They were all on a diet.   Every morning Nancy and I turn to see what he has to say about people of our respective birth signs. Regarding his friend Hollywood astrologer Carroll Righter, in Where's the Rest of Me? (1965) I would have voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964. As quoted in Los Angeles Times (17 June 1966) I favor the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and it must be enforced at the point of a bayonet, if necessary. As quoted in The Los Angeles Times (20 October 1965) Government is like a baby. An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no responsibility at the other. We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions. If it's to be a bloodbath, let it be now. Appeasement is not the answer.   On what to do about student disruptions at UC Berkeley, quoted in the Los Angeles Times (8 April 1970); shortly thereafter, Reagan said: "I certainly don't think there should be a bloodbath on campus or anywhere else. It was just a figure of speech." as quoted by United Press International   Politics is supposed to be the second oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first And I have to point out that government doesn't tax to get the money it needs, government always needs the money it gets   [Evolution] has in recent years been challenged in the world of science and is not yet believed in the scientific community to be as infallible as it once was believed. But if it was going to be taught in the schools, then I think that also the biblical theory of creation, which is not a theory but the biblical story of creation, should also be taught.   Approximately 80 percent of our air pollution stems from hydrocarbons released by vegetation. So let's not go overboard in setting and enforcing tough emission standards for man-made sources.   I have flown twice over Mount St. Helens. I'm not a scientist and I don't know the figures, but I have a suspicion that one little mountain out there, in these last several months, has probably released more sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere than has been released in the last ten years of automobile driving or things of that kind   I believe with all my heart that our first priority must be world peace, and that use of force is always and only a last resort, when everything else has failed, and then only with regard to our national security   Thomas Jefferson made a comment about the Presidency and age. He said that one should not worry about one's exact chronological age in reference to his ability to perform one's task. And ever since he told me that, I stopped worrying.   I have left orders to be awakened at any time in case of national emergency, even if I'm in a cabinet meeting   You'd be surprised how much being a good actor pays off.   Responding to a question from students at Shanghai's University of Fudan as to which experiences best prepared him for the presidency (30 April 1984), cited by Paul Slansky, The Clothes Have No Emperor   The simple truth is, 'I don't remember — period.

TQ 105 Lina from Shanghai, China I met Lina 18 years ago when I taught in Hangzhou, China and she was getting a master's degree in English. After that she got a job at the best university in Shanghai, Fudan University. Fudan has sent her to the U.S. twice, and both times she visited my parents' house. She became like part of our family. She calls my mother "Mom", and Mom considers her to be one of her bonus daughters. In the interview we totally forgot to mention that Lina was a tour guide four years ago when my mom and sister came to China on vacation. She and her son Matthew spent three or four days showing my mom and sister around Hangzhou. (Lina, thanks so much for taking such good care of my mom and sister before they came to see me in Nanning!) Lina is in the U.S. this summer because her son participated in a choral festival in San Francisco. After the competition they have been traveling around the country, visiting friends of theirs in Minnesota, Michigan, and North Carolina. I have already interviewed her son and will post that podcast episode in a week. Listen as we talk about how to pronounce "Shanghai", how Shanghai is better than Beijing (just kidding, listeners in Beijing!), and we learn about a small but very interesting religious group in the U.S. called the Amish. At the end, Lina gives three suggestions to English students. Later she told me two more: 4) Don't expect perfection; and 5) If you need to use your English for a test or a class or a trip, don't wait until the last minute to improve it. Here are some words that we used in the interview that you may not know: revolutionary writer, pen name, rank, a seasoned teacher, Amish, grace, to be exempt, exemption, to forgive, gender, one academic year, personality, reluctant, to err is human, broccoli, cashew, cube, choral, choir, to deteriorate, to lag behind, tremendously, overemphasize, to interact with, dam.

In this episode, professor Wang Xiaozu (Fudan University) and programme manager Dan Bjørke (BI Norwegian Business School) talk about 20 years of collaboration on their MBA programme here in Shanghai.

The campus version of the popular Chinese matchmaking show "If You Are the One" was staged in Nanjing University over the weekend. This is actually a final exam for the university’s relationship training course. Did anyone go home with a girlfriend or boyfriend? Let’s find that out in a second.一场名为“红豆南国”的校园版“非诚勿扰”在南京大学火热进行。这实际上是该校“恋爱公开课”的结业考试。从“纸上谈兵”到实战，大学生们究竟表现如何呢？Heyang: So guys, we’ve talked about this love and relationship training course in Nanjing University before. And back then we said it is a great thing. How did it turn out? How did these students do?Luo Yu: For your reference, Nanjing University is one of the finest ones here in China, and it recently held the dating show to test students taking the school’s relationship training open class, as most of the graduate students have never been in love before.The show was designed in the format of a popular Chinese TV dating show 非诚勿扰 "If You Are the One" with participants from various universities in Nanjing.However, the result is only one couple successfully matched each other and received a 1,000-yuan "红包" from the school. It’s quite appalling from my perspective.Heyang: Appalling, why?Luo Yu: For one thing, only one couple succeeded. And for another, why most of the graduate students have never been in love before? It’s actually similar to the results of the survey conducted by Fudan, right? 72% percent of the students remain single when they are graduate students. Why is this?Michael: I think from what I conceive it, it’s so much on you when you are in high school, when you are in university, to do well, to get good grades. And the culture surrounding that is such that I think for many people, they just don’t have time to pursue any sort of relationship. And I think it’s a bit of a rough deal that a lot of Chinese students get because you have so much pressure throughout high school, to get good grades and to get into good universities and then to study hard. And once you’ve studied hard, and you’ve got your degree and all of a sudden, now the pressure from your parents if you to get married. And if you haven’t had any sort of relationship before, and as we can see from the fact that this course didn’t even exist in the first place. These people need so much help to entering into a relationship. I think it’s a very sad indictment of modern Chinese society and the pressure young people are under right now.Luo Yu: And plus, a lot of young students have got used to cyber space probably. So when it comes to face to face communication or interaction with the opposite sex, they tend to be shy.Heyang: Ok, yes, certainly, there has been a bit of a problem for these students if you only live in the cyber world. That is not enough when you try to find a boyfriend or a girlfriend. There is face to face, even physical contact maybe. So yes, you need to know how to deal with a real person. The thing is so unfair for Chinese students. There is one small thing I want to bring up, that Michael that is different in China as what you see. That is in university, what I see is when students go to university after Gaokao, they are like prisoners released from jail and there isn’t as much pressure to study in university. So it&`&s the time for people to party and have fun.Michael: So why don&`&t they?Heyang: They do, not all of them do. I’m confusing myself right here. So you are seeing a different scene in the university.Michael: But if this is the very fact that this course exists suggested a problem here that people are not interacting with each other or that sort of level. By the time they leave university, as we’ve heard just now, a lot of people who have never been in love. So why is this the case then if the people are, as what you say, going out and enjoying themselves, and going to a party something like that?Luo Yu: We’ve seen different types of people, because this course is specifically designed for those students who don’t know how to start a relationship. And those people are pretty much nerds themselves, and so some of the techniques might be very helpful. However, the success rate is so low as just one couple succeeded.Heyang: I urge this university to continue having this kind of training course. I think it’s useful for university students. Sometimes you just need to get out of your dorm and get away from your computer for a second and interact with real people.

Hundreds of thousands have been fighting the official federal takeover of public, private, and in large part, homeschool curriculum through the Common Core State Initiative.  Many of them see the similarities between the 20th-century totalitarian government schools systems and CCSS.  But often they are dismissed as using rhetoric, and living in the cold Cold War. But what would you say, if someone who lived in China under Mao Tse-tung rule, who completed her education in China and said, yes Common Core is the same standards and expectations Moa demanded of her and her classmates? Yes, in fact, Lily Tang Williams has seen Common Core before!  It was the same education program she and her countrymen were forced to endure, and it has cost them and their country dearly.  Tune in this week, as we discuss Mrs. Willaiam's Chinese education roots and experiences and how they compare to what she sees in Common Core.   Lily Tang Williams Born in the wild west of China, Sichuan province near Tibet,  and raised with her two sibling brothers by illiterate working-class parents, Lily grew up facing poor living conditions, food rationing, political, and social chaos.  In this tumultuous environment, she quickly developed both street smarts and compassion as well as the values of perseverance and hard work. At 17, Lily graduated at the top of her high school class and placed near the top of the national exams (held once each year for three eight-hour days).  She did well enough that she was only one of three students from her province of 80 million people to be accepted to Fudan University law school that year, one of China's top five universities. Lily received her university law degree at Fudan University in Shanghai, practiced law and joined the Law faculty at Fudan.  She came over to the U.S. in 1988 to earn a Master's degree at the University of Texas at Austin, School of Social Work with a minor in Administration and Planning. After her Master's degree, Lily worked with troubled youth from dysfunctional families in Ivanson Memorial Hospital and Wyoming Home Health Care in Laramie, Wyoming as a social worker. Later, she worked for corporations in Hong Kong and the United States as a corporate executive. In particular, as "China Operations Manager" for PREL Inc., directly reporting to it's president, she was responsible for the overall management of China-based office performing Wal-Mart manufacturer certification, quality control, and inspection.  In that capacity, she also acted as a liaison between Wal-Mart's exclusive world buying agent at the time, PREL Inc., and vendors in China and Wal-Mart buyers. Lily became a Colorado small business woman and entrepreneur in 2000. She is currently the President and founder of ACM International Corporation, a consulting and trading firm in Colorado specializing in China-related business services. She and her husband John also own and manage their rental properties in Colorado and Nevada.

Based on Key Indicators 2014, a flagship publication of the Asian Development Bank, this presentation argued that conventional wisdom on poverty measurement fails to consider significant challenges of food insecurity, increasing inequality and rising vulnerability. Once these additional elements are brought in, the hope for an Asia free of poverty by 2020 looks unlikely. Instead, it is more likely poverty will remain prevalent in Asia beyond even 2030. Dr Guanghua Wan is Principal Economist and Head, Poverty-Inequality Research Group, the Asian Development Bank. Previously, he was Senior Economist in the United Nations and taught in a number of Universities in Australia and China. Trained in development economics and econometrics, Dr Wan is an award-wining scholar on the Chinese economy and an expert on Asia, with an outstanding publication record of more than 100 professional articles and a dozen books including two by Oxford University Press. An honorary professor of over ten top institutions in China including Fudan and Zhejiang Universities, Dr Wan is among the top eight per cent economists globally and top four per cent, in Asia according to the latest ranking of REPEC. This public seminar was presented by the Development Policy Centre at Crawford School of Public Policy, The Australian National University.

CRI Exclusive Interview with Irish President Michael D. Higgins Irish President Michael D. Higgins is urging young Chinese to assert more the legacy of the Chinese civilization, which has a long history and transformation. He also says the world will see China play an important role in a new global order. He made the remarks in an exclusive interview with our reporter Wu You in Shanghai before he winds up his eight-day visit to China. Reporter: As a poet President who values cultural inheritance very much, what aspects of the Irish culture are you proud to share with the Chinese people? Michael D. Higgins: Well, I think that sharing has already started, I mean, I have, during the visit, been speaking about the influence, first of all, of the fourth century Chinese writer on Oscar Wilde, who really, we'll say, Chuang Tzu, with great influence on Oscar Wilde, before he wrote Lady Windermere's Fan (温夫人的扇子)and many plays, that is a very interesting connection. But then some of the contemporary Irish writers, they have been translated into Chinese. I saw presented to me as a gift, the first volume of the translation of Finnegans Wake(芬尼根的守灵夜), James Joyce, and I would like to see Irish visual artists making it into the galleries. Reporter: What part of the Chinese culture are Irish people most interested in? Michael D. Higgins: I think they're interested in, again, is rather similar. And I think China, young Chinese people, maybe need to assert it more, when they come to Europe, is the very long legacy of civilization that stand behind China. I think not enough is often made either of the extraordinary contribution that calligraphy represents in relation to the history of art, but also the different philosophical movements and how they shade into one another, certainly some of the basic principles in philosophy, are ones that come from the moment before Rene Descartes and the enlightenment in Europe as it is called. Reporter: So when Chinese young people go abroad for study or work, Europe is one of their most favorite destinations. What are the policies of Ireland in attracting more Chinese young talents to go there to work or study? Michael D. Higgins: Well, I think first of all it's easier now, because after the establishment of joint fees with Britain let's say for visiting you can in fact get on a single visa you can go to either Britain and Ireland, and it includes all of Ireland. But I think as well there are 2700 Chinese students who are studying at the present time, 2400 who are studying Irish masters here. There's a great advantage that if you are learning English in the cities and in the country of somebody of that 4 Nobel laureates in a language that they took on over just 100 years ago. And that you have the location of some of the principal science and technology companies in the world, and then you have an opportunity after study of spending a year involving yourself. Reporter: In Fudan University of Shanghai, you made a speech on the emergence of a new global order and the importance of the multilateral system. How do you see a new global order and China's role in it? Michael D. Higgins: What I had in mind in the Fudan speech first specifically is that if one looks across the world history and you see governments, you see peoples coming to prominence at a particular time. Very often they have in fact sacrificed that opportunity through building up war, using science and technology for instance a war of aggression. I see a great opportunity for China when history comes to be written in decades to come that China made king to prominence such a time when great global challenges were global warming, global poverty, unfair structured trade, possibility of dealing with eradicable diseases. And if in fact China moves into that space, redefining interdependency, giving a headline in all of these areas that they have a long long legacy being created then and it's something that its benefits are not confined to China, but to humanity that it establishes. I think it removes many misconceptions in relation to the future of the global order and China's role in it. I have no such fear. I believe myself the part of the misunderstanding of the contribution that China can make, is because of the failure to understand the long history. And the many transformations the Chinese people have made and are in the process of making no more than ourselves in Ireland. I'm quite optimistic but I am very convinced of need to have a new architecture for multilateralism. Remember those institutions we've had IMF, World Bank, Brentwood Institutions, they came into existence in a particular set of circumstances, those are not our circumstances now. We've new challenges, and the title of my paper was facing new challenges, building a new multilateralism and the role of China.

XH: Recently, the Ministry of Education releases the Top 10 University alma maters that are welcomed by net users. The top three songs are from Zhejiang University, Fudan University and Communication University of China. So a school song is also known as an alma mater, which can also refer to, you know, 校友 in general. Oh no, sorry, 母校 in general， so the university you graduated from. So do you think that why is there a need to have a song for universities? Why is there a need to have 校歌？ Amy: I’m not really sure what the need is but I do know that most universities have one if not all universities, even in America, even your high school has a high school song, fight song, and then some high schools may even have an alma mater as well. LY: I guess because this type of song tends to be anthem, and when you are singing anthem, you tend to be in a high spirit. Maybe, you know be, proud of where I come from, be proud of my school, that kind of thing. Amy: But I feel like the fight song should be enough, right, cause I think a lot of people in the US don’t even know their alma mater, they only know the school fight song. XH: so the fight song is? Amy: the one you sing at the football games, or you know at other sporting events usually, and it’s the one that the cheerleaders, well you know, pom pom to yeah, and the marching band will play it. LY: yeah, I have to agree with Amy. I think, you know, a fight song is probably a better idea for most people, but I guess when it come to Chinese universities again, you know, sometimes they just want something that’s attached to their face because face value is very important. If somehow they don’t have a school-wide song that is a representative of their school, they just don’t feel like this is complete, something is missing. XH: Yeah, that’s probably true, and also I think Mark Griffiths of China Drive was saying that in Britain, there weren’t a lot of those school songs, but it seems that in the US there are a lot, in China there are lot. So I guess there’s a sort of difference country to country. Amy: maybe he doesn’t remember his school song. XH: in fact, I think that a lot of people don’t even know that their schools have a song. LY: Guilty as charged, I never know my school had one song. Amy: Really? Which school? Is yours on this list? LY: It’s actually ranked No.1, Zhejiang University. XH: So actually, let’s take a listen at part of the clip. It’s like a Waltz. You know, it’s like a tune you dance to. Amy: Yeah, it’s very formal. XH: let me get your opinions as DJ’s, cause you guys are DJs as well. Amy: Hehe, terrible. LY: Hahaha, well since it’s my school. I shouldn’t use the word terrible, but that’s how I feel as well, because melody-wise is just it’s not one of those songs that can immediately put you in a good mood. I think as a school song, it should be able to do that. And also, lyric-wise, it’s not modern Chinese. It’s . . . just imagine if we’re talking about a school song in the United States, and the lyrics actually are full of words like Thou, you know, that kind of thing. Of course, it doesn’t make any sense. People would not remember. Amy: Well, actually I think a lot of school songs in the States do have Thou, Thee. I think I’m trying to remember all the words to my alma mater, and it’s like Minnesota~, something, something, I know there’s a Thee like there, ends with Thee, so I think a lot of the school songs were written like a long time ago, in university of Minnesota opened in I think like 1850s something maybe 1860s somewhere in there, but I think a lot of the school songs use this old language, and it’s just not relevant to us now. LY: See, that’s the point, I mean it’s not relevant to us, but we are still the ones who are supposedly singing these songs, so of course it’s very difficult for us to like the song. On the other hand, you can argue that “oh it’s all about tradition, so of course such language is necessary,” but who is your target audience? XH: Yeah, also I think when these songs are chosen a lot of it is about showcasing how long a history we have, so we’ve got use the ancient language. I remember there’s a song in a US university I forget whether it’s Harvard or some other university that’s written in Latin. Actually, there’s not a word that we can understand. Amy: so it has, you know probably a little prententious XH: Yeah, I guess. Also let’s take a listen at a part of the songs and which are the runner up, which is Fudan University and also the third which is the Communication University of China. LY: so this one is from Fudan, right? XH: Yeah, that one.

LY: so this one is from Fudan, right? XH: Actually this one is from Yale University, that’s being played. Actually, that doesn’t sound too bad. It has an ancient feeling to it, as well. Amy: They all have ancient feelings to them, but you know I think that Chinese ones and the Yale one we just heard, and even like my alma mater, they all sound the same. It’s like a choir singing it, and it sounds like you’re in church to for some reason. XH: Yeah, it’s very ceremonial feeling to it. LY: Also like a spiritual experience, I guess, but I have to say I do kind of dig, the song from Communication University of China, because it’s a lot more pop, yeah, than the rest of bunch. And also this one I have to applaud their effort because they do not only have a song, they also shoot a music video for it. ...
