The week Kamala Harris became the 2024 Democratic nominee in 48 hours
07/25/2024
The two tumultuous weeks in July 2024 started with a sniper shooting at the former president, followed by the Republican Convention within days. The president's address calling for calm, Trump's 90 RNC address which rambled to veer off course. Second thoughts about Trump and Biden's age and calls by Democrats for Biden to withdraw after the faltering delivery in the debate. Biden has Covid and isolates for a few days. On July 22 around 1.45 pm Biden puts out a letter on X (Twitter) that he is withdrawing and giving his full support to Kamala. Within hours Harris has overwhelming support. The next day morning Harris has secured the delegates needed. By the 24th in 48 hours she has raised $250 million for the campaign and about 100,000 volunteers. A dizzying pace for 48 hours that riveted the attention of the American people and the world.

China's difficult political-economic choices in the post 2010 period.
01/06/2008
The difficult choices in the new environment- transition to a new leadership, how to change the export model without serious disruptions, how to deal with western demands for balanced global growth, dealing with the inequality and corruption generated in the kind of growth China experienced (by the fiat of the State), opening up freedom of expression to curb corruption and to provide representation for hitherto blocked out voices, transition to freedom of expression and democratic processes without serious disruption to thegrowth needed for employment and improvements in the standard of living across all parts of society and regions, reducing or channelling to constructive ends prevailing nationalistic, anti-western or anti-Japanese sentiment. The new leadership of Xi Jinping and Li Keqiang is expected to be more outward looking than than of Hu Jintao and Wen Biao and comes at atime when China needs to make some difficult choices about future direction.

Xia Yeliang: The China Americans Don't See
Wall Street Journal 10/26/13
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
