Beijing since 2010 most important city every sustainability youth can linkin

[chris macrae]

Between 2005 and 2010 our focus on girl empowerment made dhaka in bangladesh the city we spent most time helping students linkin (sample tour 1 2 3  4 5) - then we realised that even as those who value girl sustainability have most to learn from dhaka , the tech and world trade mapping out of china were most valuable for worldwide youth to cooperate with

without access to open technology even the bravest girls in the world can't save mother earth

-since our editorial team lacked chinese fluency we spent some time at moocs on sustainability goals until various chinese students offered to guide us round Beijing universities and goodwill trading spaces- we may only know a little about beijing but everywhere we've been has been an educational delight

please note useful mapping is always a bottom up process and local to global- if you believe in sustainability generation mapping you need to linkin data from anywhere that is sharing it openly - from that criterion china has become the most wonderful place for youth to digitally leap forward . breaking 2018-2019 see for example contributions to official webs digitalcooperation.org and our co-blog web digitalcoperation.net- see how many digital innovative networks within the United Nations are either china led or china cheered- 

china celebrates over half a billion under 30s; and because of its evolution until recently around a one-child policy- many family trees are dependent on their 20-30 year old- the idea of burdening the family's main future connector with student debt is unthinkable in china- in fact a banker or politician who proposed that probably wouldnt see the light of day again- china has to empower great sustainability livelihoods and it realises as a community grounded dynamic worldwide this will require massive cooperation

if you get out a map you will see that more than half the world's people face either eurasia's south coastal Belt or as in china's case its East Coastal Belt- it would be nice if the West wanted its youth to truly have access to sustainability goals curricula, bit in the case of this half of the world's people its is absolutely essential now-put another way china has over 15 direct borders to build happy peaceful future relationships with but the population numbers make the entrepreneurial Belt Roads between Eurasia's east and south coastal Belts an absolute priority and thankfully this is where women hold up half the sky   is the only possible cultural way forward

ref brandchartering- why trust that china's digital world is supersocial in ways that western fake media driven by old ad and lobbyists industry cannot imagine? fortunately- china came about 10 years later to digital exploration than eg silicon valley  - China never got sidelined by fake media; its citizens mainly leapfrogged to smart phones as what the world of digital is spaced around-  and china jack ma's invention of mobile finance wasnt motivated as big western banks are by trying to trap you in debt; instead almost literally what efinance came to mean in china was whatever a youthful mind like jack ma said it could all happily make it be- the timing of china's leap into financial freedom of the peoples by the peoples was fortunate- just as 2008 was becoming the west's year of wall street and berlinstraat subpriming the world, china's digitally free currencies started their own flows of investment and hi-trust networks- moreover china unlike america has never had most of its market sectors dominated by property and - in other words if you wanted to be great as a retailer you didnt have to have huge investments in property as a right of entry. 

there is also something very amusing about the difference between china's main broadcaster and us mass media- chins's media is licensed to be curious about specific things like what will happen next to education? - or how much of the economy is shared- for sure it has biasses reflecting what powerful leaders say but you wouldnt see in usa prominence given to our 4 greatest innovations to date are the shared economies:

of fast trains (so our citizens can visit their rural families),

bicycles (making cities shared)

mobile finance making banks shared

and ecommerce making markets shared

On norman macrae's digital exponential timelines we have entered the 7 year period of 1000-2000 moore- debates out of beijing-hangzhou have consistently shown china wants to celebrate all sustainability collaborations since hangzhou G20 in 2016 (if not before)

In beijing even the novice explorer can quickly find the most collaborative university on the planet :tsinghua- which is also within 15 minutes fast walk of peking uni and renmin- that's almost 100000 of the brightest chinese youth - probably a quarter of whom aim to exchange abroad within a few years of graduating- mixed up in this wonderland of students is the world largest hub tech entrepreneur suburb

we analyse belt road reporting to understand different trading routes, as well as people, around the world- simply put you dont have to friend or enemy the chinese to see that eg the arctic belt road partnerships will determine much of the planet's sustainable energy or climate meltdown- there is a clear and present danger that anyone who used to believe that the english language is a passport to understanding how to improve the human lot is now over-optimisiic- with britain sidelined by brexit and trump not interested in innovation that sustain youth, its only logical that if you still value your children you should want them to linkin with beijing and tsinghua

next student year 2019-2020 is the first jack ma returns full time to education - and if you have seen his contributions as education commissioner so far you will see his pleas is universal- half of youth everywhere are going to be unemployable unless we take education outside the classroom

this matches norman macrae's expectations since 1984 - that educators not economists on their own would sustain or destroy youth's world

Compared with 1974 our children in 2024 generally go out to paid work (especially computer programming work) much earlier, maybe starting at nine, maybe at twelve, and we do not exploit them. But young adults of twenty-three to forty-five stay at home to play much more than in 1974; it is quite usual today for one parent (probably now generally the father, although sometimes the mother) to stay at home during the period when young children are growing up. And today adults of forty-three to ninety-three go back to school - via computerised learning - much more than they did in 1974. In most of the rich countries in 2024 children are not allowed to leave school until they pass their Preliminary Exam. About 5 per cent of American children passed their exam last year before their eight birthday, but the median age for passing it in 2024 is ten-and-a-half, and remedial education is generally needed if a child has not passed it by the age of fifteen. A child who passes his Prelim can decide whether to tale a job at once, and take up the remainder of his twelve years of free schooling later; or he can pass on to secondary schooling forthwith, and start to study for his Higher Diploma. The mode of learning for the under-twelves is nowadays generally computer-generated. The child sits at home or with a group of friends or (more rarely) in an actual, traditional school building. She or he will be in touch with a computer program that has discovered , during a preliminary assessment, her or his individual learning pattern. The computer will decide what next questions to ask or task to set after each response from each child. A school teacher assessor, who may live half a world away, will generally have been hired, via the voucher system by the family for each individual child. A good assessor will probably have vouchers to monitor the progress of twenty-five individual children, although some parents prefer to employ groups of assessors - one following the child's progress in emotional balance, one in mathematics, one in civilized living, and so on - and these groups band together in telecommuting schools. Many communities and districts also have on-the-spot 'uncles' and 'aunts'. They monitor childrens' educational performance by browsing through the TC and also run play groups where they meet and get to know the children personally... Some of the parents who have temporarily opted out of employment to be a family educator also put up material on the TC s for other parents to consult. Sometimes the advice is given for free, sometimes as a business. It is a business for Joshua Ginsberg. He puts a parents advice newsletter on the TC , usually monthly. Over 300 million people subscribe to it, nowadays at a 5-cent fee per person, or less. Here's an entry from the current newsletter: "Now that TCs are universal and can access libraries of books, 3-d video, computer programs, you name it, it is clear that the tasks of both the Educator and the Communicator are far more stimulating that ten years ago. One of my recent lessons with my ten-year-old daughter Julie was in art appreciation. In the standard art appreciation course the TC shows replicas of famous artists' pictures, and a computer asks the pupil to match the artist to the picture. Julie said to the computer that it would be fun to see Constable's Haywain as Picasso might have drawn it. The computer obliged with its interpretation , and then ten more stylised haywains appeared together with the question 'who might have drawn these?'. I believe we are the first to have prompted the TC along this road, but it may now become a standard question when the computer recognises a child with similar learning patterns to Julie's. It is sometimes said that today's isolated sort of teaching has robbed children of the capacity to play and interact with other children. This is nonsense. We ensure that Julie and her four year old brother Pharon have lots of time to play with children in our neighbourhood . But in work we do prefer to interact with children who are of mutual advantage to Julie and to each other. The computer is an ace teacher, but so are people. You really learn things if you can teach them to someone else. Our computer has helped us to find a group of four including Julie with common interests, who each have expertise in some particular areas to teach the others. The TC also makes it easier to play games within the family. My parents used to play draughts, halma, then chess with me. They used to try to be nice to me and let me win. This condescending kindness humiliated me, and I always worked frenetically to beat my younger brother (who therefore always lost and dissolved into tears.) Today Julie, Pharon and I play halma together against the graded computer, and Julie and I play it at chess. The computer knows Pharon's standard of play at halma and Julie's and mine at chess. Its default setting is at that level where each of us can win but only if we play at our best. Thus Pharon sometimes wins his halma game while Julie and I are simultaneously losing our chess game, and this rightly gives Pharon a feeling of achievement. When Julie and I have lost at chess, we usually ask the computer to re-rerun the game, stopping at out mistakes and giving a commentary. As it is a friendly computer it does a marvelous job of consoling us. Last week it told Julie that the world champion actually once made the same mistake as she had done - would she like to see that game? I intend to devote the next two letters to the subjects I have discussed here , but retailing the best of your suggestions instead of droning on with mine." While the computer's role in children's education is mainly that of instructor (discovering a child's learning pattern and responding to it) and learning group matcher, its main role in higher education is as a store of knowledge. Although a computer can only know what Man has taught it, it has this huge advantage. No individual man lives or studies long enough to imbibe within himself all the skills and resources that are the product of the millennia of man's quest for knowledge, all the riches and details from man's inheritance of learning passed on from generation to generation. But any computer today can inherit and call up instantly any skill which exists anywhere in the form of a program. This is why automatically updated databases are today the principal instruments of higher education and academic research. It is difficult for our generation to conceive that only forty years ago our scientists acted as tortoise-like discoverers of knowledge, confined to small and jealous cliques with random and restricted methods of communicating ideas. Down until the 1980s the world has several hundred separate cancer research organisations with no central co-ordinating database.  ........... chapter 20x chapter 1 chapter 2 chapter 3 part 1  chapter 3 part 2 chapter 4 chapter 5 chapter 6 chapter 7 chapter 8 chapter 9 chapter 10 chapter 11 part 1  chapter 11 part 2 chapter 12 chapter 13 chapter 14 chapter 15 chapter 16 chapter 17 chapter 18 chapter 19   chapter 21  ? -  Jun 11, 2010  (d.) Bio/Description A British economist, journalist and author, considered by some to have been one of the world's best forecasters when it came to economics and society. These forecasts mapped back to system designs mediated so that readers and entrepreneurial networks could exponentially calibrate shared alternative scenarios. He joined The Economist in 1949 and retired as its deputy chief editor in 1988. He foresaw the Pacific century, the reversal of nationalization of enterprises, the fall of the Berlin Wall and the spread of the internet, which were all published in the newspaper during his time there. Not to get bored, his first ten years in retirement produced the biography of Johnny Von Neumann (the mathematical father of computers and networks), a column for the UK Sunday Times, and a 'Heresy Column' for Fortune. He was the father of mathematician, marketing commentator, and author Chris Macrae. Their joint future history on death of distance in 1984 forecast that 2005-2015 would be humanity's most critical decade irreversibly impacting sustainability. In 1984, he wrote "The 2024 Report: a future history of the next 40 years". It was the first book to: provide readers with a brainstorming journey of what people in an internetworking world might do, and predict that a new economy would emerge with revolutionary new productivity and social benefits enjoyed by all who interacted in a net-connected world. In this book, he wrote: "Eventually books, files, television programmes, computer information and telecommunications will merge. We'll have this portable object which is a television screen with first a typewriter, later a voice activator attached. Afterwards it will be miniaturised so that your personal access instrument can be carried in your buttonhole, but there will be these cheap terminals around everywhere, more widely than telephones of 1984."  Norman penned his last articles in 2008 for a compendium Consider Bangladesh handed out at his remembrance parties. He foresaw that that subprime would sadly delay sustainability's last call decade by about 10 years from his 1984 estimate. This would multiply the risks to all our children but the game of living up to 4000 times moore technology by 2030 would remain that whicd determined survival or extciction of our species Y  [e-mail] :: rowp.tv  :: linkedin UNwomens :: WASHINTGON DC TEXT HOTLIENE (USA=1) 240 316 8157 ...............................

BJ: THE SECRET BEHIND ALIBABA’S SUCCESS WITH DR. YING LOWREY

 June 15, 2018

Beijing, June 13 2018 I On June 13, SwedCham Beijing invited Dr. Ying Lowrey, Professor of Economics at Tsinghua University and Deputy Director of the Tsinghua Research Center for Chinese Entrepreneurs, for a sharp talk on the secret behind Alibaba’s success. 

Dr. Lowrey initiated with a discussion on Alibaba’s innovate strategies and the economic theory behind its huge success. Highlighting the importance of pervasive small business ownership and improving economic well being, Dr. Ying Lowrey also told the story of the Taobao village, a whole village dedicated to sell local products via Taobao. According to a recent survey, there is more than 2100 villages just like this one in China today.

At the end of the sharp talk, Dr. Lowrey came to the following conclusions:

• The cyberspace inclusion unleashes grassroots entrepreneurship
• Internet platforms provide unprecedentedly public goods and services
• Alibaba is growing by unleashing grassroots entrepreneurship, stimulating pervasive business ownership, fostering the sustainable economic ecosystem, and shaping a new order
• Under this order, all participants in the economy must follow rules of “invisible hands” and invisible moral standard” for Co-prosperity
• Alibaba uses capitalist means to help reaching socialist goals
• If Alibaba can do it, why can’t you?

Dr. Lowrey is also a member of the Academic Committee for Alibaba Group Research Institute. She received her economics Ph.D. from Duke University, economics MA from Yale University and mathematics BS from Wuhan University. Currently she is writing on a new book that will be released in 2019.
