China- crisis in health impact of smoking
09/24/2010
About 25% of the 1.3 billion population or 400 million people smoke. State ownership of the tobacco industry only makes this worse, with lax enforcement because of revenue generated for state companies. Experts warn of a huge crisis in healthcare.

China's dysfunctional health system and burden on middle class household finances.
12/30/2005
the whole system is geared to providing more expensive care with upfront cash required even if you have insurance or care is refused, and the private sector offers very little insurance. Government insurance coverage is also inadequate. Two thirds of China's people have no insurance at all.

China's health care reforms and increased spending on health care fall short of what is needed.
12/30/2005
China's increased health care spending of $16 billion by the central government in each of the years 2009-2011 is clearly inadequate. Over 200 million are uninsured and the health care system jacks up the costs so much with expensive tests and pills that the poor tend to shun hospitals. The current plan puts off government financed health coverage for 90% of the population till 2020.

12/30/2005
Be skeptical of touting GDP growth numbers. China which has done this has learnt from this experience as it shifts to trying to assess the costs of environmental degradation in headlong industrialization. The U.S. and the shift to bigger houses and bigger cars, which later fed a collapse of housing and the auto industry show a different angle of this obsession with GDP numbers that can work constructively or destructively if not understood and managed properly. Air quality and pollution is a major problem in China and affects the quality of life.

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.
