Be able to formulate a differential diagnosis for hip dysplasia. Understand the initial diagnostic approach to hip dysplasia. Select appropriate imaging to evaluate for hip dysplasia. Help parents understand initial treatment. Create an appropriate disposition for patients with abnormal hip exams.

Manhã de 2 de março de 1938. Era uma quarta-feira de cinzas e a cidade de São Paulo se recuperava das festas do Carnaval. Na Rua Wenceslau Braz, perto da Praça da Sé, o lituano Pedro Adukas, cozinheiro, chegava para trabalhar no restaurante chinês Órion ao se deparar com uma cena pavorosa. Entre as mesas e cadeiras, poças de sangue e os corpos de dois companheiros de trabalho, com os rostos desfigurados pelos ferimentos. Ele também encontrou os cadáveres dos patrões - Ho-Fung e Maria Akiau. O caso ficou conhecido como “O Crime do Restaurante Chinês” e ocupou as manchetes, mobilizou a opinião pública e teve seu desfecho após dois júris do réu Arias de Oliveira.

In May 2020, the Chinese Communist Party announced a sweeping new National Security Law over Hong Kong.

Ho-Fung Hung, Johns Hopkins professor and author of The China Boom, talks about the Hong Kong protests--and why The West should be showing more moral clarity.

In Episode 92 of Hidden Forces, Demetri speaks with East Asian affairs expert Ho-Fung Hung about the upcoming US-China trade talks taking place at this weekend’s G20 summit, as Xi-Jinping grapples with the ongoing protests in Hong Kong. Ho-Fung is the Henry M. and Elizabeth P. Wiesenfeld Professor in Political Economy at Johns Hopkins University, as well as the author of two books on China, including the award-winning “Protests with Chinese Characteristics,” published in 2011.  On June 16th, 2019, an estimated 2 million people took to the streets of Hong Kong to protest the handling of a proposed extradition bill by the Hong Kong government and its Chief Executive Carrie Lam. This followed two massive demonstrations against the extradition bill earlier in the month, including one where police used pepper spray and tear gas against protesters. The controversial bill would allow Hong Kong to extradite to the mainland those accused of crimes under the People’s Republic of China’s Communist Party-led legal system. While Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam has suspended the bill, she has refused to withdraw it.  In this episode, we discuss what the protests mean for the future of Hong Kong and what they say about Hong Kong’s relationship with mainland China. This includes an exploration of Hong Kong history going back to the Opium Wars and the signing of the Treaty of Nanking (Nanjing) in 1842, which ceded the Hong Kong island with surrounding smaller islands, to the United Kingdom in perpetuity.  Hong Kong activists have raised more than HK$5 million ($640,606) in a crowdfunding campaign to take out newspaper ads in a bid to get this controversial extradition bill on the agenda at the G20 summit. We discuss the details of the extradition amendment, but also consider prior offenses by the Hong Kong government that led to similar uprisings. The Umbrella Movement of 2014 is perhaps the most recent, but Ho-Fung and Demetri also discuss the 2003 protests that were then inspired by similar concerns over Basic Law Article 23 that threatened to roll back important civil liberties like freedom of speech.  In addition to the recent Hong Kong protests, Demetri and Ho-Fung Hung spend the duration of the overtime in a conversation about the RMB-USD peg, China’s debilitating debt problem, the Belt and Road Initiative, and the China industrial lobby. Ho-Fung provides a path for how China may manage to avoid an all-out economic collapse after decades of uninterrupted growth and massive credit expansion.

Ho-fung Hung‘s new book has two main goals: to to outline the historical origins of Chinas capitalist boom and the social and political formations in the 1980s that gave rise to this boom, and to explore the global effects of Chinas capitalist boom and the limit of that boom. In doing so, The China Boom: Why China Will Not Rule the World (Columbia UP, 2016) offers a timely and provocative account of the emergence and transformations of capitalism in modern China, and of the consequences of its entanglements with the rest of the world for the global political economy. In addition to an in-depth assessment of the Chinese economy, readers will find fascinating discussions of Chinas relations with Africa and Latin America, as well as some thoughtful comparative considerations. Hung’s book traces the rise of capitalism in China from the seventeenth century through today, and uses this historical grounding to point to possible futures. The China boom, Hung maintains, is destined to collapse. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
