The year 2025 marks the 10th anniversary of China's Digital Silk Road, which has become an increasingly crucial component of Xi Jinping's flagship foreign policy project: the Belt and Road Initiative. Over the past decade, China has massively expanded its digital infrastructure investment across the globe. Accompanying the investment has been the diffusion of China's digital governance norms and standards in recipient states. Countries in the Indo-Pacific have been at the forefront of this stretching Chinese digital influence landscape. The conflation between digital development cooperation and digital governance norms adoption has far-reaching implications that need to be better understood and addressed. To discuss the issue, Michael Caster joins host Bonnie Glaser. Caster is the Head of Global China Programmeat ARTICLE 19, an NGO that advances freedom of opinion and expression. His organization has published two reports examining China's Digital Silk Road. Timestamps[00:00] Start[01:30] Understanding China's Digital Silk Road [05:57] China's Digital Governance Norms[10:16] China's Digital Footprints Abroad[16:07] Attractiveness of Chinese Digital Solutions[18:56] Role of High-Tech Companies in Digital Governance[21:44] Assessing the Effectiveness of China's Digital Governance[23:14] State-Driven Surveillance and Censorship[27:39] China's BeiDou Navigation System [31:09] How should governments respond to these normative shifts? 

Summary This Develop This! episode delves into the complexities of tariffs and their impact on the can manufacturing industry in the United States. Dennis Fraise hosts Rick Huether, CEO and Chairman of the Board of the Independent Can Company, and Robert Budway, President of the Can Manufacturers Institute, to discuss the historical context of tariffs, the current state of the industry, and the challenges faced by manufacturers. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding how tariffs affect not only businesses but also consumers and the potential for reshoring manufacturing in the U.S. amidst ongoing economic challenges.   Takeaways Tariffs significantly impact the cost structure of can manufacturing. The can industry is a vital yet often overlooked part of the food supply chain. Economic developers play a crucial role in advocating for the can manufacturing sector. The current tariff regime is complex and constantly changing. Manufacturers are facing unprecedented challenges due to tariffs and material sourcing issues. Sustainability and recycling are key advantages for the can industry. The consumer will ultimately bear the cost of increased tariffs. Investment in domestic manufacturing capacity is essential for future stability. Collaboration between manufacturers and policymakers is necessary to address tariff impacts.

Interview with Mark Chalmers, President & CEO of Energy Fuels Inc.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/energy-fuels-nyseuuuu-critical-minerals-hub-takes-shape-in-united-states-6778Recording date: 21st March 2025Energy Fuels (NYSE: UUUU) stands at the forefront of America's critical minerals renaissance, offering investors a rare opportunity to capitalize on the urgent national push to secure domestic supply chains. Unlike most players in this space who remain in planning stages, Energy Fuels has already produced rare earth products at its White Mesa Mill, demonstrating operational capabilities that set it apart from competitors.The company's strategic vision extends beyond mere production to creating an integrated hub for at least ten commercially recoverable critical elements. This diversified approach spans uranium, rare earth elements, and heavy mineral sands, providing multiple revenue streams and reducing single-commodity risk. CEO Mark Chalmers' five-year strategy of building this capability has positioned the company perfectly to benefit from the new administration's emphasis on reshoring critical mineral production.Energy Fuels' international partnerships further strengthen its competitive position. Its strategic alliance with South Korean industrial giant POSCO creates a pathway to transform their rare earth materials into high-value magnets for electric vehicles and other applications, potentially as soon as this year. Meanwhile, projects advancing in Madagascar and Australia will secure long-term feedstock supplies while generating cash flow through titanium and zirconium production.The company's ambitious "Project 2028" aims to supply 50% of America's rare earth needs by that year, representing substantial scaling potential from current operations. With Final Investment Decisions advancing on multiple projects, Energy Fuels expects to demonstrate the economic viability of its integrated approach by year-end.For investors seeking exposure to critical minerals without Chinese supply chain risk, Energy Fuels offers a unique combination of current production, advancing projects, strategic partnerships, and strong government alignment. As global competition for these essential materials intensifies, Energy Fuels' first-mover advantage and execution track record position it to capture significant value in this rapidly evolving market.—View Energy Fuels' company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/energy-fuelsSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Our guest on this week's episode is Rosemary Coates, executive director of the Reshoring Institute. We've seen a roller coaster week involving tariffs. First they are on, then exceptions, then some reprieve. It makes one dizzy. But one of the stated aims of the new administration for establishing all of these tariffs is to force more manufacturing to return to domestic shores. Is that a workable strategy? Our guest offers some insights into reshoring initiatives and what industries are best suited to returning their manufacturing to America.Adding to the theme of this week's episode, we look back at the tariff directives this week for international trade. What actually happened and how did the week end? We also discuss how this appears to be more of a negotiating strategy based on the president's past history of negotiating deals. Yet in the middle of all of it, how can supply chain managers properly plan and not add the costs often associated with uncertainty?Despite the chaos, supply chains seem to be holding their own, as reflected in the monthly numbers reported this week in the Logistics Managers' Index. Rising inventory levels boosted activity across the transportation and warehousing industries. This occurred because companies were replenishing inventory following the holiday peak season, but also because they were rushing to import products ahead of tariffs. We break down the numbers and what they may predict for future supply chain health.Supply Chain Xchange  also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.  It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals. A series of ten episodes is now available on the "State of Logistics." The episodes provide in-depth looks into the current states of key transportation modes, such as trucking, rail, air, and ocean. It also looks at inventory management, 3PLs and more.  All ten episodes are available to stream now. Go to your favorite podcast platform to subscribe and to listen to past and future episodes.

Renan Devillieres discusses the currect techological revolution in manufacturing! This revolution is caused by geopolitical shifts and technological advancements, but also brings the challenges of decoupling from China, the pressing need for new factories and energy infrastructure, and the trade-offs of reshoring and more! Renan also shared insights into the role of AI-powered tools, autonomous roots, and emerging materials in shaping modern manufacturing. Today we discuss...  Manufacturing is undergoing an unprecedented pace of change due to aging populations, geopolitical tensions, and technological advances. Decoupling from China is driving a reshoring trend in the West, with significant investments in factories and supply chains. Energy infrastructure is a critical bottleneck, with advancements in small nuclear reactors and decentralized grids emerging as key solutions. The shift toward high-utilization products, like self-driving cars and multifunctional smartphones, is reshaping manufacturing priorities. Reshoring and decoupling come with trade-offs, including inflation and societal adjustments, as countries aim for self-sufficiency. AI and manufacturing depend heavily on energy availability, with Silicon Valley now embracing nuclear power as a vital resource. Simulation software enables precise virtual modeling of production processes, reducing reliance on physical tests. Advancements in 3D printing improve resolution and applications, but material limitations prevent it from replacing traditional manufacturing processes. Talent shortages, particularly in mechanical engineering and manufacturing expertise, hinder progress in industrial innovation. Rebuilding localized supply chains, such as Tesla's vertical integration, is essential for reducing reliance on international dependencies. Bridging the gap between R&D and production in pharmaceuticals could drastically reduce costs and timelines. Healthier food systems face challenges from industrialized production, affordability concerns, and systemic quality issues. Consumer demand for healthier food is gradually increasing, signaling potential shifts in market dynamics. The food sector's transformation may be catalyzed by breakthroughs, scandals, or evolving consumer preferences.

Welcome to 2025, and welcome to Printing Money Episode 25!  For this episode Danny welcomes back a couple of previous guests: Arno Held (AM Ventures) and startup advisor Tali Rosman. It's a new year so, naturally, this episode has its share of reflecting on the 2024 that was and the 2025 (and beyond) that will be. Danny, Arno, and Tali start off by harkening back one last time to Formnext – what is traditionally the end of the 3D printing year turned out only to be a prelude to a whole lot of industry-shifting news in December. So yes, Danny, Arno and Tali discuss Shapeways' rebirth, Forward AM's insolvency, Velo's restructuring, voxeljet's go-private. And this is all really interesting, but it's only the appetizer. Next, Episode 25 wades into the deep end, analyzing and opining on the goings-on with Nano Dimension. Will the acquisitions of Desktop Metal and Markforged happen? Will the shareholder activists force the company to unwind? And what's this about tin foil hats and Russian oligarchs? After the Nano Dimension discussion, Episode 25 moves on to review some of 2024's venture capital raises, including a few recent ones.  Then, Danny, Arno and Tali consider the current artificial intelligence (AI) revolution and how it might dovetail with what's to come for additive manufacturing (AM) this year and further into the future. Please enjoy Episode 25, and please join Danny, Arno, Tali, and your other favorite Printing Money personalities at AM Strategies next month, Feb 4-6 in New York City.

Original Release Date October 25, 2024: After decades of offshoring, the pendulum for US manufacturing is swinging back toward domestic production. Our US Multi-Industry Analyst Chris Snyder looks at what's behind this trend.----- Transcript -----Andrew Sheets: 2024 was a year of transition for economies and global markets. Central banks began easing interest rates, U.S. elections signaled significant policy change, and Generative AI made a quantum leap in adoption and development.Thank you for listening throughout 2024, as we navigated the issues and events that shaped financial markets, and society. We hope you'll join us next year as we continue to bring you the most up to date information on the financial world. This week, please enjoy some encores of episodes over the last few months and we'll be back with all new episodes in January. From all of us on Thoughts on the Market, Happy Holidays, and a very Happy New Year. Chris Snyder: Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Chris Snyder, Morgan Stanley's US Multi-Industry Analyst. Today I'll discuss the far-reaching implications of shifting industrial production back to the United States. It's Friday, October 25th, at 10am in New York.Global manufacturing is undergoing a seismic shift, and the United States is at the epicenter of this transformation. After decades of offshoring and relying on international supply chains, the pendulum is swinging back toward domestic production. This movement – known as reshoring – is not just a fleeting trend but a strategic realignment of manufacturing capabilities that is indicative of the “multipolar” theme playing out globally.In fact, we believe the US is entering the early innings of re-Industrialization – a multi-decade opportunity that we size at $10 trillion and think has the potential to restore growth to the US industrial economy following more than 20 years of stagnation. The reshoring of manufacturing to the US is fueled by a combination of factors that are making domestic production both viable and lucrative. While the initial sparks were ignited by policy changes, including tariffs and trade agreements, the COVID-19 pandemic laid bare the risks of elongated supply chains and over-dependence on foreign manufacturing.Meanwhile, the diffusion of cutting-edge technologies, such as automation, artificial intelligence, and advanced robotics, has diminished the cost advantages of low-wage countries. The US -- with its robust tech sector and innovation ecosystem -- is uniquely positioned to leverage technology to revitalize its manufacturing base. Who are the direct beneficiaries? High-tech sectors, such as semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, and advanced manufacturing systems, are likely to be the biggest winners. Traditional industrial sectors, such as automotive and aerospace, are also seeing a resurgence. Finally, companies that invest in more sustainable manufacturing processes stand to gain from both policy-driven incentives and a growing market demand. All told, these businesses should see shorter supply chains, reduced legal and tariff costs, and a more resilient operational structure. As for the broader US economy? We think the implications are pretty profound. In altering the US industrial landscape, reshoring promises not only to boost GDP growth, but it could also stabilize and potentially reverse the trade deficits that have plagued the US economy for years.Thanks for listening.

A father is concerned that comics no longer reach kids, suggesting that video games are the better value measured by engagement time. What can we do to reverse this trend? On today's showHow can comics reach kids?UPDATE: Buffer (see addendum below)How can I avoid Trump's tariffs? (see other addendum below)AddendumOne day after we recorded the drop that explained that Buffer did not support video uploads, they made an announcement. You guessed it — they've added that functionality. They still do not support adding content moderation labels.Other addendumDuring the campaign, President Trump made tariffs a large part of his platform. He pitched a wide range of tariffs and scenarios. He suggested a tariff of between 60 and 100% on goods imported from China, a tariff on cars imported from Mexico that ranged from 100% to 200%, he threatened John Deere with a 200% tariff if they outsourced to Mexico. During our discussion, we took the worst-case scenario — 200%. On Nov. 26, Trump solidified his economic plans, promising executive orders on Day One that would levy a 25% tariff on imports from Mexico and Canada with an additional 10% tax on Chinese imports. The upshot of the conversation remains the same: These costs will be passed along to American consumers and businesspeople (like us), and you would be wise to build these additional expenditures into any Kickstarter campaigns you have planned for 2025.SummaryIn this conversation, the hosts explore how parents can encourage reading among kids, the value of libraries, and community initiatives to promote access to books. In this conversation, Brad Guigar and Dave Kellett discuss the evolving landscape of social media, particularly focusing on the emerging platform Blue Sky. They share their experiences with various social media platforms, emphasizing the importance of adapting to changes and seizing opportunities for audience engagement. The discussion also touches on the potential of illustrated novels as an alternative storytelling medium, considering the labor-intensive nature of comics and the desire to share narratives more efficiently. In this conversation, Brad Guigar and ComicLab discuss the complexities of transitioning from comics to illustrated novels, emphasizing the importance of writing skills alongside illustration. They also delve into the potential impact of tariffs on printing costs, particularly for small publishers relying on overseas printing. The discussion highlights the challenges and realities of both creative and business aspects in the comic industry.TakeawaysComics and graphic novels aimed at kids are a thriving print publishing sector. Parents play a crucial role in fostering a love for reading in their children.Libraries are vital community resources that provide free access to books.Engagement with comics should not be measured solely by cost-effectiveness.Community initiatives like book exchanges can enhance access to literature.Encouraging kids to read requires active participation from parents.The comics industry is successfully reaching young audiences today.Creative solutions exist for parents to provide books without breaking the bank. Engagement on Blue Sky is currently very high.Deleting old social media accounts can be liberating.Scheduling posts is crucial for maximizing engagement.Blue Sky offers a unique opportunity for audience building.Social media fatigue is a common concern among creators.The landscape of social media is constantly changing.Illustrated novels could be a viable alternative to comics.It's important to adapt to new platforms quickly.Community moderation tools are essential for a healthy environment.Creators should always be on the lookout for new opportunities. You can be very successful in an illustrated novel situation.Writing is as complex as illustrating.Dunning-Kruger effect applies to perceptions of writing difficulty.Novelists can spend years honing their craft.Transitioning to a new art form requires significant time investment.Tariffs can drastically increase printing costs.Small publishers may struggle with rising costs due to tariffs.Navigating printing options requires careful consideration.Expect uncertainty regarding tariffs in the current political climate.Reshoring the printing industry is a complex challenge.

We want to hear from you! Send us a text message.With U.S. manufacturing facing a potential shortfall of 7.5 million skilled workers, how can we bring jobs back and build the workforce to sustain them?In this episode of The TechEd Podcast, host Matt Kirchner sits down with Harry Moser, founder and president of the Reshoring Initiative, to explore the critical intersection of reshoring manufacturing, workforce development, and technological advancement. With decades of experience in manufacturing and workforce advocacy, Harry shares actionable insights for educators, policymakers, and business leaders aiming to strengthen America's industrial future.From addressing workforce shortages to overcoming supply chain risks, Harry explains the importance of apprenticeships, hands-on learning, and reshoring strategies like total cost of ownership (TCO) analysis. He also reveals why countries like Switzerland excel in workforce preparation and what the U.S. must do to compete.Listen to learn:How reshoring addresses a 45% cost gap with China to protect U.S. supply chains and economic security.Why FAME apprenticeships produce $98K earners within five years, rivaling or exceeding college degree outcomes.How TCO analysis helps manufacturers uncover hidden costs, making U.S. production viable in 50% of cases.What the U.S. can learn from Switzerland, where 60% of students enter apprenticeships & fuel their industrial workforce.How reshoring has grown U.S. manufacturing jobs 25x since 2010—and the critical steps needed to sustain it.3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. Reshoring is essential for U.S. economic and national security in an era of global uncertainty.The U.S. faces a 45% manufacturing cost gap with China, but Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) analysis shows that 50% of cases favor reshoring when hidden costs like tariffs and geopolitical risks are factored in. Harry Moser emphasizes the dangers of supply chain disruptions and reliance on foreign manufacturing for critical goods.2. Apprenticeships are a high-earning alternative to traditional college degrees, with faster results.Graduates of programs like FAME earn an average of $98,000 annually within five years, far surpassing many degree holders. They also start earning earlier, graduate debt-free, and enter the workforce with advanced technical skills in high demand.3. The U.S. must address a projected 7.5 million skilled worker shortfall in manufacturing.Harry Moser highlights Switzerland's apprenticeship model, where 60% of students gain hands-on skills through advanced training programs, as an example the U.S. could emulate. Building similar pathways could help meet workforce needs and drive manufacturing growth.Resources in this Episode:To learn more about the Reshoring Initiative, visit: reshorenow.orgTry the Total Cost of Ownership Estimator®Instagram - Facebook - YouTube - TikTok - Twitter - LinkedIn

Send me a messageIn this episode of The Sustainable Supply Chain podcast, I'm joined by Spencer Malcolm, Principal at Forsyth Advisors, to delve into a pragmatic approach to supply chain sustainability. Spencer brings over 20 years of experience in leadership across multiple industries, from manufacturing, to distribution and strategic sourcing.Throughout our conversation, Spencer outlines how supply chains are evolving, with a particular focus on balancing the capital-S Sustainability (environmental impact) with lowercase-s sustainability (ensuring initiatives are both long-term and viable). We discuss the pitfalls companies often face when trying to "check the sustainability box" without real commitment, and why focusing on real, measurable returns can ensure a sustainable future.Spencer also shares his views on reshoring as a growing trend in response to global disruptions and explains how finding the right partners, and maintaining diversity in supply sourcing, is crucial for both environmental and operational sustainability. We explore how technology, while promising, should be used wisely—particularly AI, which Spencer cautions against over-relying on as a silver bullet.Finally, we touch on a key theme: accountability—whether that's holding vendors to higher standards or measuring KPIs that ensure both sustainability and profitability. As Spencer notes, supply chain leaders must be armed with the right data and prepared for the long haul if they want to make a real impact.Tune in for acElevate your brand with the ‘Sustainable Supply Chain' podcast, the voice of supply chain sustainability.Last year, this podcast's episodes were downloaded over 113,000 times by senior supply chain executives around the world.Become a sponsor.

Welcome back to Barn Talk! In today's Q&A session, we'll be talking about everything from balancing the financial and emotional aspects of family farming to the nitty-gritty of commodity prices and market dynamics. We'll tackle a pressing question from Adam in Ontario who's wrestling with a lucrative buyout offer for his family farm and the legacy it represents. We'll weigh the emotional ties against the allure of a big payday and discuss the broader implications for farmers. Get ready for insights on the challenges facing the agriculture sector, from market pressures and regulatory landscapes to the evolving role of big box stores and the influence of foreign supply chains. Plus, we'll touch on the recent shakeups in the fertilizer market and dig into the importance of telling your own farm's story to build a resilient brand.
