As usual, we would like to leave a weekend thread for the community, before we resume more insights on Monday.
Today we leave two questions for community debates and dialogues.
Contestants for the WTO Director General position are on the road communicating their strategies for the much needed reform agenda for global trade. Who do you support and why? What do you think about the WTO and world trade?
US and China have reciprocally closed a Consulate last week. The US-China relations have successfully gone back to 1972 in the past weeks. Where is the relationship heading? Are you personally impacted by this series of decisions?
My fiends at HiaWei think they have gone back to 1876. See below
In 1876, the British built a railway in Shanghai, outside the British concession, without obtaining the the Imperial Chinese government’s approval to start with. The Chinese government talked to the British side, and eventually bought the railway with a lot of silver, and had the rail tracks pulled out and thrown into the East China Sea.
What the UK government is doing to Huawei and 5G is reminiscent of the Manchu Dynasty in 1876 - 1878.
Please share this bit of history with your friends and colleagues.
