And then the most #horrible dilemma again; = which book to read next. The more I read, the more work I have cut out for me and the more places I should really go. (With or without your help)

To beat the USA China poured 60bn yuan state funds into AI and still lost $2.4 trillion in market value in six months. The STAR 50 is down 40%. Xi doesn't have an AI strategy, he has a bonfire with printed cash. apple.news/AtA7d40VuRger4_Iw…

Hmm, so does this mean China has more leeway to take over the arctic sea's?
This post countered the question “Can you think of one Russian product?” by saying small countries have nothing to offer, unlike, e.g., Russian Rosatom (in another reply). Fun fact: Russia had to cancel the construction of two LNG-powered icebreakers because the designs relied on imported components, including Finnish Wärtsilä main diesel generators. After Russia decided to invade a neighbour, such technology exports stopped, even from small countries.

Wondering how many such items are safe in #foreign #collections. Have any? Post it!
拉萨河对岸的唐卡艺术博物馆,满满三层展厅的私人藏品,这九枚小小的邮票,让我花了好几个小时跟两个AI反复求证。 三枚绿色圆框雪狮票,采用通常记为1912年发行的早期版式;其余六枚红色、深蓝色票,采用1933年开始发行的方框雪狮版式。两个年份之间,是十三世达赖喇嘛推动图伯特现代邮政建设的一段历史。 雪山狮子、藏文、英文“TIBET”,以及拉萨、帕里的邮戳,都留在这些小小的纸片上。方框票上方的藏文,意为“图伯特政府邮政”。当时的图伯特政府发行自己的邮票,以自己的货币计算邮资,经营自己的邮政网络。 邮局藏语叫“扎康”(སྦྲག་ཁང་,sbrag khang)。当年的拉萨总邮局设在丹吉林寺的旧建筑内。前些年我去找过,那时是丹吉林居委会,现在不知是什么了。 图伯特邮票的故事很多,暂时也就先说到这里。 #lhasa #tibet #tibetstamps

China's 'Nasdaq' taking a nose dive, should be no surprise. The stocks were insanely overvalued Consumption in the country has collapsed Investors are terrified of US and EU import restrictions
JUST IN: 🇨🇳 China's "STAR 50" tech stock index has now crashed 42% since reaching an all-time high in June. The index has recorded 10 consecutive weeks of declines, marking its longest and worst weekly losing streak in history. Over $480,000,000,000 in market capitalization has been erased during this period.

Obviously, @GretaThunberg is going to show up any time now to declare her support for the garment workers of Bangaldesh and of course declare her anger about the fast fashion industry and sweat shops/
Dozens of garment workers in Bangladesh clashed with police in the capital Dhaka as they protested against low pay and the rising cost of living. The textile industry is the backbone of the country’s economy.

Nee, die kijken enorm neer op alles dat zwart is in Afrika. Maar ja, dat soort dingen mogen Nederlanders zich niet herinneren. Helaas heeft DrBen een boekwinkel met allemaal verhalen waarin men zoiets kan lezen en leren. DrBen.com the place 2B

🇺🇸🇰🇷🇰🇵Uma desertora norte-coreano disse que, ao chegar à Coreia do Sul aos 17 anos, o primeiro contato com a liberdade o fez até pensar em voltar para a Coreia do Norte. “Eles me fizeram um teste de classificação, e descobri que precisava estudar junto com crianças de 7 anos. Eu nem sabia o que era um continente, nem onde ficava a África.” No centro de adaptação na Coreia do Sul, ela começou do zero aprendendo a usar caixas eletrônicos, pegar ônibus e andar de elevador. “Eu realmente achava que havia alguém dentro do caixa eletrônico passando o dinheiro para você. Quando você vai fazer compras, há 10 calças diferentes para escolher. Já na Coreia do Norte, é o regime que decide por você. A liberdade é difícil. Naquela época, eu até pensei: se eu tiver o básico de comida para comer, estou disposta a voltar para a Coreia do Norte.” Rogan perguntou surpreso por quê. “Porque eu não estava acostumada a pensar. Pensar é muito difícil para mim. Antes, eu nunca precisei pensar por mim mesma. Você não pode simplesmente me dizer o que fazer? Porque eu sou muito boa em obedecer ordens.”

Whateverrrrr
Slightly annoying. I see news outlets quoting the FT (wrongly) that a trilateral will happen on the sidelines of APEC. So far, China hasn't agreed to anything beyond the bilateral with Russia.
