The global higher education landscape is undergoing a profound transformation, as China shows consistent improvement in academic output while universities in the United States face downward pressure in global rankings amid recent student visa policies, experts said.专家表示，全球高等教育格局正在发生深刻变革，中国学术产出持续提升，而美国大学则因近期学生签证政策的调整而面临全球排名下滑的压力。China has surpassed the US for the first time in the number of universities listed in the latest Global 2000 university rankings. Chinese institutions now account for 17 percent of the list, up from 324 last year to 346 this year, while the number of ranked US universities dropped from 329 to 319.在最新的全球2000强大学排名中，中国上榜大学数量首次超过美国。中国高校目前占榜单的17%，从去年的324所增至今年的346所，而上榜的美国大学数量则从329所降至319所。The World University Rankings 2025, released on Monday by the Center for World University Rankings, revealed that 98 percent of Chinese universities improved their positions—a surge attributed to enhanced research performance and sustained government investment in higher education.世界大学排名中心周一发布的2025年世界大学排名显示，98%的中国高校排名有所提升，这得益于科研水平的提高和政府对高等教育的持续投入。Tsinghua University rose six places to rank 37th, excelling in employability and research. Peking University advanced three places to the 44th, while the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences jumped four places to 46th—surpassing Shanghai Jiao Tong University in the 61st place and Zhejiang University in the 68th position.清华大学上升六位，位列第37位，在就业能力和科研方面表现出色。北京大学上升三位，位列第44位；中国科学院大学上升四位，位列第46位，超过了排名第61位的上海交通大学和排名第68位的浙江大学。Nadim Mahassen, president of the Center for World University Rankings, said that China is well represented among the world's top universities, and further financial backing from the government will allow the country to be more competitive in the rapidly evolving global academic landscape.世界大学排名中心主席纳迪姆·马哈森表示，中国在世界顶尖大学中占有重要地位，政府的进一步资金支持将使中国在快速发展的全球学术格局中更具竞争力。Although the US still has eight of the world's top 10 universities—led by Harvard, MIT and Stanford—83 percent of its listed institutions declined in rank. The United Kingdom's Cambridge and Oxford secured the fourth and fifth places, respectively.尽管美国仍然拥有世界前十名中的八所大学，以哈佛大学、麻省理工学院和斯坦福大学为首，但83%的上榜院校排名下降。英国的剑桥大学和牛津大学分别位列第四和第五。Mahassen said that while the US still boasts the top universities in the world, the decline in ranking of the vast majority of its higher education institutions on the list is concerning.马哈森表示，虽然美国仍然拥有世界顶尖大学，但榜单上绝大多数高等教育机构的排名下降令人担忧。"At a time when Chinese universities are reaping the rewards of years of generous financial support from their government, American institutions are grappling with slashed federal funding and disputes over academic freedom and free speech," he said.他说：“在中国大学多年来享受着政府慷慨资助的丰厚回报之际，美国高校却正努力应对联邦政府资金削减以及学术自由和言论自由争议。”Recent controversies, such as the Trump administration's move to revoke enrollment of international students at Harvard, later blocked by a federal judge, highlight the challenges facing US higher education.近期的争议，例如特朗普政府取消哈佛大学国际学生入学资格的举动，后来遭到联邦法官的阻挠，凸显了美国高等教育面临的挑战。"For many years, American universities were able to attract a large number of international students, particularly from China. But with China's extraordinary ascent in the rankings, coupled with the recent visa policies of the US, the situation may change soon," Mahassen said.马哈森表示：“多年来，美国大学能够吸引大量国际学生，尤其是来自中国的学生。但随着中国大学排名的飞速提升，再加上美国近期的签证政策，这种情况可能很快就会改变。”Liu Wei, senior vice-president of New Channel International Education Group and CEO of its overseas study division, said that China has been gaining ground in multiple international ranking systems—including QS, Times Higher Education and the Academic Ranking of World Universities—showing consistent improvement in academic output and global research influence.新航道国际教育集团副总裁兼留学服务事业部CEO刘威表示，中国在QS、泰晤士高等教育和世界大学学术排名等多个国际排名体系中均取得了进展，学术产出和全球研究影响力持续提升。He emphasized that recent US visa policies toward Chinese students, such as the announcement of revoking the visas of some of those studying in "critical fields", are also influencing the global higher education landscape and may affect the future rankings of US and Chinese institutions.他强调，美国近期针对中国学生的签证政策，例如宣布吊销部分“关键领域”学生的签证，也正在影响全球高等教育格局，并可能影响中美两国高校未来的排名。"Stricter visa policies have introduced uncertainty for Chinese students seeking to study in the US, prompting many to consider alternatives," Liu said.刘威表示：“更严格的签证政策给寻求赴美留学的中国学生带来了不确定性，促使许多人考虑其他选择。”Countries such as the UK, Canada, Australia and Singapore, as well as some European countries, have ramped up efforts to attract international students, particularly those diverting from the US.英国、加拿大、澳大利亚、新加坡等国家以及一些欧洲国家加大了吸引国际学生的力度，尤其是那些从美国转学而来的学生。Universities in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region also moved quickly to offer assistance when Harvard's ability to admit international students was curtailed.当哈佛大学招收国际学生受限时，香港特别行政区的大学也迅速采取行动提供帮助。Chen Zhiwen, a member of the Chinese Society of Educational Development Strategy, said that Chinese students contribute significantly to research productivity and academic exchanges on US campuses, especially in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math, as well as among postgraduate students.中国教育发展战略学会理事陈志文表示，中国学生，包括研究生，在科学、技术、工程和数学等领域为美国高校科研产出和学术交流做出了重要贡献。A decline in the number of Chinese students due to visa policies could have an impact on academic output in US higher education, Chen said. Chinese universities could benefit from this in the long term, as students who planned to study in the US may instead enroll in top domestic institutions, boosting China's academic and research environment, he added.陈志文表示，签证政策导致中国留学生数量下降，可能会对美国高等教育的学术产出产生影响。他补充道，长期来看，中国大学可能会从中受益，因为原本计划赴美留学的学生可能会转而就读国内顶尖高校，从而提升中国的学术和科研生态。"Since 2018, the proportion of Tsinghua University graduates pursuing overseas studies has shown a declining trend," he said, adding that the trend could usher in a more multipolar higher education system, reducing the US' historical dominance.“自2018年以来，清华大学毕业生出国留学的比例呈下降趋势。”他补充道，这一趋势可能催生一个更加多极化的高等教育体系，削弱美国历史上的主导地位。reap/riːp/v.收获，获得grapple with/ˈɡræpl wɪð/v.设法应对，努力解决revocation/ˌrevəˈkeɪʃn/n.撤销，废除multipolar/ˌmʌltiˈpoʊlər/adj.多极化的

PRESS REVIEW – Wednesday, June 4: An investigation into the US farming industry finds that lobbyists led a campaign to discredit animal rights activists. Next, a "visionary" or a "jerk"? American op-eds analyse Elon Musk's short-lived time in office. Also, French papers discuss porn sites and their access ban on French users in protest at a new age verification law. Finally, a 200-year-old condom is displayed in one of Europe's biggest museums.  An investigation by Wired magazine says that lobbyists for the farm industry led a campaign to "surveil, discredit, and suppress" animal rights activists for nearly a decade. The magazine says it consulted hundreds of emails and internal documents that show the "secretive and long-running collaboration" between the FBI and the Animal Agriculture Alliance, which represents the interests of American farmers and ranchers. According to Wired, the Alliance spied and served as an informant for the FBI. People working there went undercover at meetings of activists, for example, and sent the recordings to law enforcement. Wired says that the documents demonstrate the industry's mission and efforts to convince the authorities that activists are a "bioterrorism" threat to the United States. Also in the United States, Elon Musk's short-lived time in Trump's office has prompted continuous coverage from the press. But an opinion piece from The Washington Post says it's wrapping up its Musk coverage. "After this, I am never thinking about Trump's favourite weird billionaire again," writes the author. The article is entitled "All the unforced errors of Elon Musk" and the author calls the billionaire himself a "walking, breathing unforced error". It says that with his Tesla background and his "creative genius", Musk had to do "literally nothing"” to safeguard his reputation. But for "some unknown reason he decided to insert himself in politics", becoming a real "jerk". The piece then criticises Musk – from his relationship with his estranged trans daughter to his time as head of DOGE. It adds that "Musk's short tenure represents the most terrible personification of the Trump administration". But not all op-eds are as critical. An opinion piece in the left-wing paper The New York Times calls Musk a "visionary", saying that yes, he can be "volatile and reckless" but that those who dismiss him as an idiot "haven't been paying close attention". The article says that his vision goes way beyond politics and towards "interstellar colonization". The paper writes that if he succeeds in that mission, his time in the White House will be just "a minor detail" in his story – and not how he will be remembered. We turn next to France, where well-known porn sites have banned French users from accessing them in a protest against France's new stricter age verification requirements. French daily Le Parisien writes that porn sites "aren't bluffing", calling the ban a "poker move". It cites Pornhub's parent company Aylo, which claims that the new regulation is obliging adult sites to collect highly sensitive personal information and that this is putting user security at risk. The company also argues that the regulation might push users to migrate to "darker corners of the internet" that don't ask users to verify their age at all. Right-wing paper Le Figaro writes that from the age of 12, more than half of all underage boys visit porn sites every month. The paper cites a study saying that porn exposure "remains massive" – the number of young people visiting these sites has risen by 36 percent. We finish with another sex-related story: a central piece in one of Europe's biggest museums. A 200-year-old condom is going to be displayed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, The Times reports. The curator says that it was probably a souvenir from a French brothel and not an actual condom for use. On closer examination we can see a scene comprising three clergymen and a nun. She is pointing at one of them saying "Voilà mon choix" or "Here is my choice". The museum says that the condom provides an insight into "sexuality and prostitution in the 19th century". You can catch our press review every morning on France 24 at 7:20am and 9:20am (Paris time), from Monday to Friday.

Making Tax Digital represents HMRC's ambitious plan to bring tax reporting into the digital age. Consequently, we're facing significant changes that will affect thousands of self-employed individuals and landlords across the UK. Moreover, these changes are no longer a distant possibility but a concrete reality with confirmed implementation dates. The MTD Timeline: When Changes Take EffectOriginally, MTD was scheduled for April 2024. However, the government revised the timetable in December 2022. Subsequently, we now have a phased rollout approach that gives businesses more time to prepare.Specifically, the implementation follows this timeline: April 6, 2026: Businesses earning over £50,000 annually from self-employment or property letting must comply April 6, 2027: The threshold drops to £30,000-£50,000 April 6, 2028: Finally, those earning £20,000-£30,000 must join the schemeHow MTD Changes Your Tax ReportingPreviously, most self-employed individuals filed one annual tax return. Conversely, MTD requires quarterly updates throughout the year. Accordingly, you'll submit information four times annually, followed by a final year-end declaration.Additionally, paper records become obsolete under these new rules. Instead, you must use MTD-compatible software to record all income and expenses digitally. Eventually, traditional self-assessment returns will disappear entirely, replaced by this quarterly system. Should You Incorporate to Avoid MTD?Currently, limited companies don't fall under MTD requirements for corporation tax. Therefore, some business owners consider incorporating to delay compliance. However, we strongly advise against making decisions purely for tax reasons.Historically, incorporation provided significant tax savings. Nevertheless, these benefits have diminished over recent years. Generally, the tipping point for incorporation sits around £25,000 annual profit. Below this threshold, the tax advantages often prove marginal.Furthermore, becoming a limited company brings additional responsibilities: Companies House registration and annual filings Payroll system operation Both personal and corporate tax obligations Higher accounting fees Stricter penalty regimesAdministrative Impact and CostsUndoubtedly, MTD increases administrative burdens for self-employed individuals. Quarterly reporting means more frequent deadlines and ongoing software costs. However, embracing digital accounting tools can streamline this process significantly.Alternatively, limited companies face different administrative challenges. Specifically, they must manage payroll obligations, national insurance contributions, and potentially VAT compliance. Additionally, the rules around mixed personal and business expenses change when you incorporate. Making the Right Decision for Your BusinessObviously, there's no one-size-fits-all solution to this challenge. Rather, your decision should align with your business goals and circumstances. Particularly important is considering your long-term strategy, not just immediate tax implications.Certainly, professional advice proves invaluable when navigating these choices. Whether you choose to remain self-employed or...

It's a popular catchphrase among politicians and policymakers: “Build more apartments, and we'll solve the housing crisis.”  It sounds simple—almost too simple. And that's because it is!   The idea that just increasing supply, particularly through apartment construction, will make housing affordable fails to grasp the true complexities of Australia's housing market.   In reality, building more apartments is far from the magic bullet many hope it to be, and in some ways, it could even make the situation worse.   In today's episode, I discuss the complexities surrounding the housing affordability crisis in Australia with Brett Warren.   We challenge the notion that simply building more apartments will solve the issue, emphasising the need for quality housing that caters to various demographics.   We explore the role of government policies, the challenges faced by the construction industry, and the importance of understanding market dynamics for property investors.   The episode wraps up with insights on future housing trends and investment strategies.  Takeaways          Building more apartments isn't a simple solution to housing affordability.        Quality of housing is more important than quantity.        Demographic shifts are influencing housing needs and preferences.        Government policies need to align with actual housing demands.        The construction industry faces significant challenges that impact housing supply.        Investors should focus on established properties rather than new apartments.        Understanding market dynamics is crucial for successful property investment.        The housing crisis is expected to persist for several years.        Stricter regulations are needed to ensure quality in construction.        Opportunities exist in the market despite current obstacles.   Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Housing Affordability Challenges 00:28 The Myth of Building More Apartments 01:23 The Housing Crisis: A Complex Issue 11:09 Understanding Supply and Demand in Housing 21:32 The Future of Housing: Challenges and Opportunities 25:11 The Miracle of Existence 28:16 Introduction to Real Estate Investment 28:17 Understanding Market Trends and Analysis   Links and Resources:   Michael Yardney   Get the team at Metropole to help build your personal Strategic Property Plan Click here and have a chat with us  Get a bundle of free reports and eBooks – www.PodcastBonus.com.au    Also, please subscribe to my new podcast Demographics Decoded with Simon Kuestenmacher – just look for  Demographics Decoded wherever you are listening to this podcast and subscribe so each week we can unveil the trends shaping your future.  Shownotes plus more here: Why Building More Apartments Won't Solve the Housing Affordability Crisis, with Brett Warren

Welcome back to another exciting episode of "Mick Unplugged." I'm your host, Mick Hunt, and today, we have a true sports legend joining us—none other than Rick Barry. In this episode, we dive deep into Rick's storied basketball career and his transition to success in pickleball, where he's clinched numerous national championships. We explore his unique take on game fundamentals, including his famous underhand free throw technique, and his candid critique of modern NBA play. Rick shares nostalgic tales, like his missed 1964 Olympic opportunity, and opens up about his joy and pride in his sons' basketball careers, with special mention of Canyon Barry's impact on the 3x3 basketball scene. We also venture beyond the court as Rick discusses his new passion for pickleball, his entrepreneurial ventures like founding Pickle Zone, and his dedication to promoting health and wellness products. Plus, get insights into his lifelong love for fly fishing, his upcoming engagements in Australia and New Zealand, and his wishes for unity and progress in our country. It's a conversation filled with wisdom, nostalgia, and inspiration. So, stay tuned as we unplug with the one and only Rick Barry!Takeaways: ·       NBA teams should consider underhand free throw technique. ·       Competing in pickleball and winning national championships ·       Disappointment over not making the 1964 Olympic team Questions & Answers: 1.       Question:Mick Hunt: Rick, you've been a vocal advocate for the underhand free-throw technique. Why do you think it's not more widely adopted in today's NBA, even though it has a proven high success rate? Rick Barry: Mick, it boils down to ego and aesthetics. Players don't want to be seen as 'unconventional' or 'old-fashioned.' Despite its effectiveness, the underhand technique has a stigma. My success rate with it was over 92%, which proves its value. It's a missed opportunity for many players today. 2.        Question: Mick Hunt: You've mentioned that modern NBA players often lack deep understanding of game fundamentals. What specific fundamentals do you see as being most neglected? Rick Barry: players today often overlook positioning, screening, and teamwork dynamics. Natural talent is great, but without mastering these basics, it's hard to reach full potential. A strong foundation in fundamentals is crucial for long-term success in the game. 3.         Question: Mick Hunt: Let's talk about officiating. You've criticized the leniency towards moving screens and carrying violations today. How do you think stricter officiating could impact the game? Rick Barry: Better officiating would enforce proper gameplay, improving the quality and fairness of basketball. Uncalled violations allow bad habits to persist, making games sloppier. Stricter calls might slow the game initially but would elevate overall play and skill levels in the long run.

The high school pathway to university is too relaxed and is leading to a drop in literacy among those taking up higher education, according to a Victoria University education academic. 

In this Special Election episode, I dive into how the upcoming 2024 election could impact the mergers and acquisitions (M&A) landscape. While many are fixated on the candidates' differing positions regarding capital gains tax—Harris suggesting an increase to 28% and Trump supporters proposing a cut to 15%— Immediate changes in this area are unlikely due to the current political gridlock. I also discuss the potential for stricter antitrust enforcement under a Biden/Harris administration. However, it's important to note that these regulations primarily affect large public company deals, leaving most M&A transactions untouched.This episode emphasizes the overarching influence of macroeconomic factors like interest rates, inflation, and general market uncertainty on deal flow. Historical trends show that election-related uncertainty usually leads to a temporary slowdown in M&A activity, but the market typically rebounds once the election results are in.PRIORITIZE LONG-TERM POLITICAL STABILITY OVER IMMEDIATE TAX CHANGES When it comes to mergers and acquisitions (M&A), the conversation often revolves around capital gains tax rates. But it's important to keep in mind that any major changes to these rates aren't likely to happen anytime soon, especially with the current political landscape. Right now, the capital gains tax rate is at 20%. There have been talks about increasing it—some Democrats have even suggested going up to 28%—while some Republicans want to lower it to around 15%. However, for any of these changes to actually take place, we'd need a more stable political environment, with one party in control of both the White House and Congress. Since we're currently in a divided government, it seems pretty unlikely that we'll see any significant shifts in the near future. So, for businesses considering M&A, it's smarter to concentrate on broader economic trends and long-term strategies rather than stressing over potential immediate tax changes.GET A GRIP ON ANTITRUST REGULATIONS AND M&AIf a Democratic administration is elected, we're likely to see a stronger focus on enforcing antitrust laws. This could mean that big companies, like Google, might find themselves under a microscope, with talks about breaking them up becoming more common. On the flip side, a Republican administration, especially under Trump, would probably take a more relaxed stance on antitrust issues, making it easier for larger mergers and acquisitions to go through. For businesses looking to make deals, it's really important to keep an eye on these regulatory shifts. Stricter antitrust enforcement could throw a wrench in their plans and affect how they approach growth through acquisitions.MACROECONOMIC TRENDS MATTER MORE THAN POLITICS M&A While political elections can create uncertainty that impacts mergers and acquisitions (M&A) activity, the broader macroeconomic environment plays a more significant role in driving deal flow. There is often a slowdown in M&A activity leading up to elections due to uncertainty about potential outcomes. However, once election results are clear, activity tends to pick up as the market stabilizes. Current macro trends, such as decreasing interest rates and inflation, foster a rebound in deal flow and valuations. This reinforces the importance of focusing on economic indicators rather than getting overly caught up in the political landscape, which can lead to exaggerated fears or expectations about the economy's future.REGULATORY CHANGES CAN DRIVE DEAL FLOWRegulatory changes can have varying impacts on deal activity. While some view regulations as hindrances to business operations, they can also act as catalysts for M&A activity. Increased regulatory burdens may lead smaller firms to seek mergers or acquisitions with larger companies to navigate compliance challenges more effectively. For example, in sectors like wealth management, additional regulations have prompted many smaller firms to sell or merge with larger ones. Understanding the specific context of regulations and their effects on industries can provide valuable insights into potential deal opportunities, highlighting that regulations can create strategic advantages in the M&A landscape.TAX AND LABOR POLICIES INFLUENCE DEAL ACTIVITY The broader economic environment, shaped by tax and labor policies, plays a crucial role in M&A activity. Take the Trump tax cuts, for instance—if they expire and provisions affecting capital gains taxes aren't renewed, it could really impact business valuations and how eager companies are to make deals. That uncertainty might make businesses think twice before diving into acquisitions.Labor policies are another factor that can influence M&A. If an administration leans toward stronger union support, like what's been suggested about the Harris administration, companies might face higher wages and benefit costs. This could put a damper on some firms' acquisition plans, especially if they think their operational costs will rise due to unionization. On the flip side, if labor policies seem more business-friendly, that could create a more welcoming environment for deals to flourish.POLITIAL ENERGY POLICIES SHAPE INVESTMENT OPPOETUNITIES If a Democratic administration comes into power, we could see a surge in green technology thanks to supportive regulations and tax incentives that promote clean energy. This would likely encourage more investments and deals in that sector. On the other hand, a Republican administration might focus on traditional energy sources, which could create more opportunities in fossil fuels. So, the political landscape definitely has a big impact on where money is flowing in the energy space!UNDERSTAND ECONOMIC POLICIES AND THEIR IMPACT If we start seeing more protectionist policies, like heavy tariffs on Chinese goods, we might face higher consumer prices and some macroeconomic challenges. But there's a silver lining: these changes could also give U.S. companies a chance to be more competitive. So, keeping an eye on how political shifts affect the market is crucial—it can really shape investment strategies and how businesses plan for the future.EXPECTATIONS DRIVE MARKET PERFORMANCE Often, market prices are more about what investors think will happen rather than what's actually going on right now. For instance, when there's buzz about economic policies—like new tariffs or tax credits—stock prices can shift even before those policies are officially announced. If investors grasp how these expectations tie into real outcomes, they can better spot potential opportunities and risks in both public and private markets, especially as we navigate economic changes and upcoming elections.Tune in to gain a broader understanding of how the economic environment will shape M&A activity, rather than just focusing on individual policy changes.
