This program updates the ongoing destabilization of China.
The program begins with a long blog essay in a very conservative publication: The National Interest.
Presenting a necessary and, frankly, refreshing analysis of the development and success of the Huawei electronics company, Chandran Nair highlights the factors behind the company’s success including: An employee friendly work structure; a democratically organized management hierarchy; a corporate culture that factors in both the good and errant features of other companies around the world; prioritization of renewable energy projects; an international developmental structure that is inclusive of progressive industrial projects in Third World countries; fiscal management that has avoided employee layoffs even during hard times; a larger share of company finances devoted to research and development than other, comparably large corporations.
By way of comparison with the first article in the program, we present an analysis from a British economist living in China who details data emphatically refuting the forecasts of impending economic collapse for the world’s second-largest economy.
It should be noted that China is still a [very quickly] developing country, and that some of the data comparing its rate-of-growth with more fully developed countries should be factored into the analysis.
Next, we present a story that highlights the negative spin put by the Western press on developments in China. The Guardian eclipses analysis of a Chinese initiative facilitating peaceful integration of China and Taiwan by stressing military maneuvering by the PLA.
We conclude the program with introduction of the topic of the next broadcast: Covid-19.
Following discussion of soaring rates of SARS Cov‑2 infection in the U.S., we reprise a 55-second clip, originally featured on Twitter, but now deleted. The speaker is Professor Jeffrey Sachs, former head of The Lancet’s commission on the origins of Covid.
He is “pretty convinced” it came from a U.S. biolab.
